Husband: Brad
Mom to Avery, 11, Kamden, 8, Casten, 6, and Henley, 2
After having her third child, Kelsey Heitkamp realized she was juggling too much between working full time, having kids in school/activities and home life. Although she loved her job as an interior designer, she decided to leave to focus on her family. She took on a few design projects from home and then decided to open her own design company, KHID. Kelsey says, “My kids get my attention first. They have the comfort of mom being at home but I’m able to work and maintain my identity and skill set.” Some of Kelsey’s design projects include The Bourbon Affair, Findlay Women’s Care and Gateway Church.

Little Monkey Kitchen, Columbus Grove
Husband: Trevor
Mom to Alexia, 5, Adalina 5, and Ruxen, 20 months

She recognized a local need for allergy-friendly baked goods and began selling her creations at a local shop and on Facebook. Baking at home has allowed Cortney to help families with food allergies enjoy “normal” food while providing her flexibility in setting her own schedule. Cortney bakes gluten, dairy, egg, and soy free treats and delivers locally. When Cortney says her products are kid-approved, she means it “my kids are my taste testers.”
