Jen is the founder of "Please Take My Children to Work Day," a holiday for stay-at-home moms held annually in June which has been officially declared by governors in 12 states so far. A spokesperson for Huggies Pull-Ups and the Similac Moms Alliance™, she was named one of Swiffer's first Amazing Women of the Year. She has appeared on CBS' The Early Show, ABC's World News Now, NBC News and numerous local news programs, as well as Canada's top morning show, Canada AM.
