Everything And The Kitchen Sink Manheim Resident Opens Her Own Business
Heather Landis was raised by a single mother. Money was tight, so Heather’s mother often served repetitive meals, including spaghetti and chicken potpie. When Heather was 10 and her mother was away, Heather went to the kitchen to play.
