Sarah Shideler, Neighbor

I have lived in San Anselmo for over 10 years with my husband and our daughter, a dog, a cat, and 6 chickens.  When I am not contributing to Patch I am working on a novel and writing in my blog.  I cherish being a mom and wife and a part of the incredible San Anselmo community.  Being in the kitchen is one of my favorite places, I love to cook, so much so that started a small catering business this year.  Parties and having friends for dinner, can't get enough of it. Give me a cookbook to peruse or a good novel any time.  

I volunteer whenever I can at my daughters school and in the community and can't imagine living anywhere else but in San Anselmo.  I love to travel and my favorite place was the Philipines.  I was raised in Winnetka, IL, went to prep school in Maine, and I got my degree in writing at Columbia College in Chicago, IL.  Thanks for reading!
