ABusyMommy : MyBlogHer Profile

 I AM Jen Banks.  Though I was born Jennifer, please don’t call me that.  It makes me feel like I am in trouble.  I am the mother of two insanely loud and active boys  who love to drive my neighbors crazy with all their fancy footwork.  They are 6 and 2, you can guess by the gap in ages that I didn’t think this whole parenting thing through… I am a waitress by trade, but also by passion.  I have been serving since I was 12 and honestly love that I get to chat with the people of my community every day.  I grew up in restaurants, and will probably never leave them.

And I work in social media.  You found out my little secret.  But shhh, don’t tell anyone.

I have been writing on A Busy Mommy (Hey…that’s me!) for almost four years.  I call it my Middle Child.  Together we’ve grown from just a few readers a week to thousands a month.  Yay!  They like me, they really like me!  I work with many brands regularly including Fisher Price, General Mills, Ford, Crayola, Hallmark, President’s Choice, Kinder and many more.  I love what I do.  Being able to talk to people about things that matter to them, and to me.  It’s one of the coolest jobs I have.  I also have experience in copy writing and editing, market research and scouting.  I can vlog…but prefer not to if avoidable.

Someday I will retire and work at Disney World.  My grandchildren will love me.

You can find me all over the interwebs, but mostly on twitter, @Jen_Banks is what I answer to.  I’m also onFacebook and Pinterest… I’m on Google + but I haven’t got the hang of that one yet.
