Jess Ambrose
Hey, I’m Jess and I am the proud momma of three beautiful princesses 3, 6 and 9. I have an amazing husband and we live in the Philly suburbs. I am a transplanted “Southern Belle”, who loves all things domestic…except cleaning…my goal is to become a cross between June Cleaver and Martha Stewart (without the jailtime). I don’t have a twang, but do say y’all and make some killer sweet tea and chicken and dumplins. My accent comes out a bit when I’m back home, but it’s never been thick since my Momma is from MI and dad is basically Canadian. Although I do have some WestVirginia hillbilly in me too, thanks Gramps! I’m a complete mixture of my environment, upbringing and all the things I love. I’m the gal who can bring home the bacon and fry it up in the pan…lol..So come visit me at The Redheaded Princess Where Southern Hospitality Meets the City of Brotherly Love.

Kelly Benner
I am the Fabulous Food Fairy, and while I am not a professionally trained chef, I am a kid tested mother of three, who teaches full-time, and still manages to cook a sit down family meal most nights of the week. I know that many days, I wish for a magic wand or a fairy godmother to pop in and make a beautiful dinner appear, but no such luck. I also realize that sometimes the hardest part of dinner is figuring out what to make, that my kids will actually eat. So, I started a blog so that other busy people in my life can hop on and not feel hopeless about dinner, or so that busy moms are not forced to resort to the local drive through or a boring bowl of cereal as a meal. Family dinner can be so much more.

That’s where my blog, Any Given Day Inspiration, comes in. It’s my spot to share all the good things I come across in life involving anything from DIY and crafts to home decor and organization. I do all this while pondering the question, “What do I want to be when I grow up?”.

I love all things creative, colorful and DIY. My background is in display – which led me into the wonderful world of DIY decorating and design when my husband and I bought our first house. We didn’t have a big budget so I used the tricks I used in the display trade to decorate that first home. That led me to writing a decorating book about it, called Instant Decorating back in the 1990′s. It is no longer in print, but my blog is where I continue to share ideas and what I have found works for me – all budget friendly.

Motherhood has been both everything and nothing like I expected, and there is nothing I have enjoyed more than sharing this new journey with my friends. With that said…while I tried really hard in the beginning to be a “perfect mom,” I have found that such a thing does not exist. Many people may pretend to be that image of perfection, but I have found it more fun to laugh at my shortcomings and be open about discussing them.

No time soon, so if you’re hanging around waiting to see me ‘graduate into adulthood’ …uh…well you’re probably wasting your time! I have a husband and two great daughters. My daughters (both with intellectual disabilities) inspire me. I am in awe of their bravery and hard work. One helps teach other young adults how to transition into living on their own in the community; the other managed to finish community college and is a preschool teacher. Nothing in my life is as hard as what they have managed to do in the first half of their lives. (Kudos to Kate and Carly!). In my next 60 years… well stay tuned!

Melissa Tabao – Aidukas
Women in Business Social Networking – Working together to help the community Founder / President I am a stay-at-home mom of two wonderful boys, and I would like to make a difference in the lives of women in my little part of the world. I decided that I wanted to have a successful business and at the same time help the community. It was as if a light bulb went on in my head. At that point, I began reorganizing the group. I gathered a group of intelligent and creative women to become my advisory council to bounce ideas off of, to add a level of professionalism and to help take the group to the next level. I’ve found that lots of professional women believe in the concept of working together to help the community. Together we can accomplish anything!!
