Meet Jen
I am the mom to three wonderful boys (Jake 21, Joey 18, and Aidan 15) and married to my college sweetheart of 31 years, Adam. After a long run in the nonprofit world, working for the national offices of Alzheimer’s Association and Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, I decided to take a leap of faith and start my own business, Princess Pinky Girl. Princess Pinky Girl is a website that focuses mostly on easy recipes with a little side of travel tips (if you are looking for something healthy, look elsewhere!). My recipes focus on simple ingredients and steps that anyone can pull off. I often say if I can make it, anyone can! Aside from taking care of my boys (the husband included), 2 dogs and Princess Pinky Girl, travel is my passion. My other hobbies include tennis, binge watching Netflix and working on my non-profit organization, Thread.

- S’more Bars
- Pull-Apart Pigs in a Blanket
Best Movie: The Princess Bride
Best Annual Event: Art in the Park (Plymouth)
My kids love art and they always enjoy all of the artists at Art in the Park. They also have a section that is made up of “young artists” which we always find fun.
Best Summer Destination: Harbor Springs + Petoskey
We have had a house Up North since I was a kid. It is always a wonderful quick getaway that we don’t get to do often enough.
“Pat Yourself on the Back” Accomplishment:
I think my proudest personal accomplishment is finding balance. Working full time and parenting full time is something I always used to struggle with. This took me a long time to be able to find a happy balance where I was meeting the needs of my kids and the needs of myself.
