jen-knightHow many children do you have? Please include their ages.  

Two: a son (4) and a daughter (2)

Do you have another job besides your Sister Site? If so, is it outside the home? Is it full-time or part-time? 

Yes. I work part-time doing corporate communications for a global travel company. I telecommute from a home office.

Are you an early bird or a night owl? (A.K.A. When do you get most of your work done?) 

I am an early bird (although my kids often are too, which can disrupt my work plans).

In 5 words, what does a typical day in your life as a Site Owner AND a mommy look like? 

All The Things. All Day.

What would your tagline be? 

Living in a daily race for grace (because I only survive this juggling act that is my life thanks to lots of grace daily for my many imperfections in my many roles)

What made you decide to join City Moms Blog Network as a Sister Site Owner?   

I was attracted to it initially because it combines many of the things I am either passionate about, enjoy doing, or feel skilled in. The other deciding factor was that I saw it as an opportunity to help me achieve both some personal goals around connecting with and supporting more people in my community and some professional goals around gaining some broader communications/marketing experience and owning my own business.

In your opinion what is the biggest benefit to being part of City Moms Blog Network?

The supportiveness of everyone who is part of the network is truly amazing and by far the biggest benefit.

How do you maintain or try to maintain a work-life balance?

I’m working on scheduling more “time off” for myself where I am disconnected from all devices. There is always something to do, but I’m learning that if I take an evening or weekend off, work doesn’t suffer in the long run and I am much more sane.

What is the greatest lesson you have learned as a Sister Site Owner?

So far the greatest lesson has been one of time management and prioritization. There are so many great things our network is involved in, and I am learning that I can’t do it all and need to focus on what is most beneficial to my site and to me as a business owner.

What is the most rewarding thing about being a Sister Site Owner?

Helping and encouraging people! I’ve been a new mom and I’ve been the new mom in town and I love knowing I am helping my community of moms connect.

What piece of advice would you give someone thinking about becoming a Sister Site Owner with CMBN?

Be eager yet patient. You (and your site) will grow in exciting, but also challenging ways.

Finish this sentence :: I have never…​

made something I found on Pinterest. Not even a basic children’s craft… But I’ve pinned lots of stuff!

What is your biggest guilty pleasure?

Unhealthy snacking – Fun-size candy bars are considered a snack food, right?
