About Me
I was born and raised in Pullman and graduated in 1985 from WSU. We moved to Bellevue, had two kids, and lived on the Westside for 36 years. I belong to a family of 14 WSU alum! Life changes gave us the opportunity to move back to Pullman a couple years ago- "We always find our way back home"!
My business started modestly a few year ago when a worried parent of a sick student asked, "who makes and delivers homemade soup". I stepped up and made some soup and delivered it to her son. It kind of snowballed from there.
That winter was terrible for students who were sick. I made pots and pots of soup and delivered it to kids with just the sniffles and also to students who were really, really sick. On occasion, I report back to parents after I've had eyes on a student who I feel looks especially sick. It's the mom in me, I can't help it!
Over time, I started making meals too and delivering them on/around campus. Students sometimes need comfort food other than what's offered at the cafeteria. I love to feed people and make yummy-good food, so it was a perfect match!
After some life circumstances, Your Other Mother is no longer making meals. On occasion, and with notice, I may be able to help in certain situations.
