Alas, business school and a master's degree later, I am beginning to see that maybe there was some truth in her wise words! I fear that deep down is a domestic goddess bursting to come out! The fact that I am a newlywed might have something to do with it.

I, however, always responded by insisting that it was more important to be a successful career woman than to have a husband (yes, this is exactly how I said it at age 7).

My old-fashioned mom always dragged me into the kitchen with her when I was a kid and threatened that I will never find a husband without cooking skills.
