About

This blog was started in June 2010 as a way to share the trials and errors associated with running a home.  It is written by three sisters, all of whom have different interests and personalities, but who love to experiment with food, decorating, sewing, and a variety of other things around the house.

Erin, the oldest of the sisters, lives in Chicago and teaches at a High School in the city. Erin lives with her husband Max, their two cats Penny and Turk, and a little corgi, Toulouse.  She is an excellent baker, as well as cook, but her real talent lies in the art of sewing. Check out some of her posts:

Quick Turn Around Tablecloth

Laura, the middle sister, lives in Nebraska and teaches first grade part time at a local elementary.  She has been married for seven years to, Derek, and has a three year old, Ella Jane.  Laura loves to try out new recipes and continues to master her cooking and baking abilities. Raising a child is her main focus right now, therefore many of  her blog posts reflect that.  Peek at her most recent posts about breastfeeding.

Leslie, the youngest sister, currently lives in Minnesota and works as the director of young adult programs in a small library 25 minutes from town.  She is married to her husband, Jaime and is pursuing her a library media certification.  Leslie is also seasoned pro in the kitchen and has been dabbling in sewing as well.  She is the true founder of the test nest and asked her sisters to join her after a few months of blogging on her own. See some new and old posts of Leslie's:
