Jessica
Jessica and her husband live in Newtown with their happy baby boy (November 2012) and lovable cocker spaniel. Jessica is a transplanted Texan who has quickly grown to love this corner of Connecticut {although there is an ever present yearning in her heart for good TexMex cuisine}. In addition to enjoying every moment of her new role as mom, she loves cooking {and more importantly eating!}, crafting, organizing, and being outdoors.
