About Me
Let's Get Acquainted
Hey! I'm Heidi!
Mom to four crazy kiddos and wife to one amazing husband.
I'm a PNW girl but we currently live in Virginia.
I love to cook.
I love to eat.
I love to teach.
And when you combine those three things together - you get a community that looks something like this.
After teaching kindergarten and 1st grade for a handful of years I found myself selling my life belongings and moving to Paris, France to embrace the art of French home cooking.
I'll just say it - I lived a dream. Cooking school for four hours a day in the heart of Paris and then eating that delicious meal with colleagues and the teacher for the next two hours over a glass of wine. A year later I returned to the states with a larger knowledge of food (and wine and myself!) then I could have ever imagined.
Fast forward a20+ years and I'm here in this season of life sharing what I've learned about food, family and life with others.
I do exactly zero things perfectly.
I've had my share of flops and fails in all areas of life.
I'm not an expert.
But I've learned my best tricks, tips and ideas from others and I'm so happy to share mine with you!
And hey...stick around because maybe YOU can teach me a thing or two!
For now....
12 things about me:
*I was a public school teacher - kindergarten was my JAM!
*I'm currently obsessing everything Hamilton (Leslie Odom, Jr - swoon)
*I have a St Berdoodle dog named Nana (not sure what that looks like? Check out #nanathestberdoodle for cute photos)
*I dread decorating for Christmas - but I love it when it's done
*I know the movie You've Got Mail by heart
*I make lists constantly (Hello, Enneagram 1)
*I have been to every state in the USA
*I'm not a car person but I love my Suburban something inappropriate
*I am a wine AND coffee snob (and apparently chocolate snob)
*I have loved horses since I was a child and now I own my very own ex-racehorse named Chance
*I make lists. Obsessively.
*My favorite place on earth is Torch Lake, Michigan
