Introduction

Welcome! Fellow sisters and any others that come across our blog!:) 
I will start by introducing my sisters Lisa, Candace and myself well I'm Jen. One day I was chatting with one of my sisters about what to make for dinner. I'm always stumped on this one - yes of course I can go on line and find any recipe in the world and 100 of them at that. But let's face it some taste buds are pickier than others and generally we follow the same loving flavors as most of our fellow family members. I asked what is was she was making for dinner and she was making something I had never made my family before and it sounded great. A must try - I have to have the recipe! Well here is where the blog comes in :) Here is where we share it all. Hopefully if we can and have the time (we have Lot's of babies) we will be posting our breakfast, lunch or dinner that we had for the day. Some will have the recipes & some are just a general ideas for a meal. We also will share our craft ideas & DIY projects. Pretty much anything that has to do with anything! Thanks for reading and enjoy! So start posting sistas!!
