Jen's List
Jen was born and raised in Encino, CA. She attended Birmingham High School and graduated college from San Diego State University where she was an active member of Gamma Phi Beta. She has 4 brothers, 2 of which are married with children and live in the Los Angeles area. Jen met her husband, Mike in 2000 & got married in 2002. Their first son was born 9 months later. In July, 2005, they had identical twin boys and another set of identical twin boys were born in May, 2008.
In addition to organizing and writing the Jens List newsletter, Jen is a stay at home mom for her 5 boys. They are very family oriented and love being together on the weekends.
They have a chocolate lab named Daisy and a kitty named Ralphy, along with 2 fish! Jen wouldn't change a thing about her life. She considers herself very lucky and loves every (well most every) minute of it!
While pregnant with her first set of twins, and on bedrest for 5 months, Jen would read all types of magazines, watch informative television and research different things on the web then email the info to a few friends (8-10) about what she found. She thought it was fun and found that sharing what she knew/learned with others really helped everybody. No sense in keeping it to herself...right?!
Strictly by word of mouth, the "Jens List" email/networking group has now grown to almost 13,000+ families all around the LA area! One can only assume that the emails reach way more than that by the time that some of them are forwarded on. It is almost hard to believe what Jens List has evolved into...but nobody is complaining! Jen has had the opportunity to meet a lot of wonderful people and some doors have opened for different things in her life that she never would have imagined!
