Jennifer’s passion for motherhood and all things children is evident in the many hats she wears. As a mom of two children, mompreneur, author, speaker, and volunteer, it’s no surprise that her life path has changed since becoming a mom and that her
children were the inspiration for those changes.
Her journey includes a corporate career in Information Technology and Marketing followed by starting her baby gift business, “Frittabello.” Her love of writing led her to create the award-winning “My Life” baby journal so that parents could record all the
special moments in their child’s life while being inspired by the musings of Jennifer’s own experiences as a mom.
She followed up with a children’s book called “Frittabello and his Angel” which tells the story of a little soul making its way to earth and learning how to rely upon his guardian angel and his own inner voice to select his perfect earth parents.
Jennifer expanded into facilitating baby journaling workshops called “Put Your Love on Paper” where she guides parents to start and finish their baby journals convincing them that they DO have time and they DO know what to write. In these fun and
interactive workshops, Jennifer adds some of her own comical and heartwarming
memories along with participant’s tales of their parenting trials to help parents see how easy it is to create this treasured keepsake for their family.
Wanting to share her mompreneur experience with others who have the entrepreneurial ‘bug’, Jennifer created three small business workshopsto help moms, kids, and others take those big ideas and turn them into a thriving small business. The aptly named
“Moms to Mompreneurs” and “Kids to Kidpreneurs” teaches moms, dads, and kids
that it takes more than a great idea to be a small business owner.
Jennifer’s volunteer activities reflect her passion for advocacy for all children, but especially those with special needs. Combining her business experience with her
writing and speaking skills, Jennifer played a key role in the creation of a
first-ever special education parent handbook in her school’s community, the
delivery of parent education workshops, and improving communications among
schools, administrators, and parents as it relates to their special needs child. Jennifer continues to volunteer her time and talents wherever possible in order to assist moms and their children.
Today Jennifer is pursuing her greatest love – writing. By starting a new blog, “Parenting for Purpose”, Jennifer hopes to share the lessons that not only she has learned from her children, but from all of the ‘angel messengers’ sent to her. Her light-hearted approach and soulful writing are sure to be welcomed by parents everywhere as she guides and inspires them along their own parenting journey.
Hi Jennifer,
I just read your article in the Hour through the WBDC Connect. I just finished the program last summer and Hannah Everand had given me your name to connect with. I started my own consulting business 2 years ago, “Montessori in the Home”. I am a family and school consultant who specializes in preparation of the home environment for early childhood success. I would love to talk with you on how you marketed your business. I am just in the process of creating a website and possibly changing my business name.
Looking forward to meeting you.
Kristen Ancker
Congratulations Kristen! All the best to you in your endeavors and Hannah is great!
