RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
My name is Jessica & I'm 29.
I am a Christian, SAHM, and am married to my wonderful husband Greg. We have a few different home based businesses we do on the side.
I have a daughter Trinity - 7, two step daughters Kylie - 5, Kara - 4, and a son Grayson - born the end of December.
Kids are back to school, and I am enjoying the break...if you could call it that! My time is now tied up by caring for my son, shuttling kids to and from school, soccer practice, church, bible study, etc. I am also learning to play the bass guitar.
I love to cook...just not clean. (I'm VERY messy in the kitchen...could use every dish in the kitchen to make a bowl of oatmeal.) =)
