She is the author of Stop Second Guessing Yourself -- The Toddler Years (HCI April 2009), You're a Good Mom (and Your Kids Aren't So Bad Either) (Sourcebooks 2008) and

Yahoo! Shine.
She is the creator of MommaSaid.net, the back fence of the Internet and a Forbes Best of the Web community for moms.
She is the creator of Please Take My Children to Work Day," a holiday for
stay-at-home moms celebrated on the last Monday each June which has been officially proclaimed by governors in a dozen states so far.
Jen's humor has appeared in American Baby, Family Circle, The New York Times, Parenting, Parents, Woman's Day and Chicken Soup for Every Mom's Soul.
In 2009, she was named a "Best of Jersey" by
New Jersey Monthly (along with the Jonas Brothers and the New York Waterway ferry captains who rescued stranded plane passengers from the Hudson River.)
In 2006, she was named one of Swiffer's first Amazing Women of the Year. She is a Huggies PULL-UPS® Potty Training Partner and a spokesperson for SC Johnson's Nature's Source, Coinstar

She has appeared on ABC's World News Now, NBC News, CBS' The Early Show, The CBS Evening News and Parents TV,
numerous local news programs along the East Coast, as well as several Canadian TV shows and dozens of radio programs, including Sally Jessy Raphael's Talk Net and

A recent cancer survivor, Jen has blogged about parenting with lymphoma for Good Housekeeping and on MommaSaid. She is the Parenting with Cancer moderator at
Planet Cancer and aspires to be the loudest voice for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. When she was bald from chemotherapy, she ran a Wacky Wig Contest because, frankly, it amused her greatly.
Before she began taking phone messages in chalk on the driveway, she wrote about Generation X in The Boston Globe,
The Chicago Tribune, Entrepreneur, Home Office Computing, The Los Angeles Times and The Miami Herald. She co-produced
a comic strip about working from home that appeared in Entrepreneur's Home Office. She majored in Mass Communication
with a concentration in Advertising at Boston University, where she also played a pretty tough fullback for the women's soccer team.
A soccer coach and class mom, she lives in northern New Jersey with her husband and two tween sons who leave various rolling objects on the floor of her mini-van
for her to discover whenever she hits the brakes.
