About this author

edit data

I'm the co-founder of Brain, Child magazine, a quarterly (and award-winning, if I may be so immodest) pub about motherhood.

Practically Perfect in Every Way is my first book.

I live with my husband, son, and two dogs in Charlottesville. I read a lot.

Quotes by Jennifer Niesslein

“You cannot expect life to go wonderfully. Terrible things might not be happening now...but they will. Probably to you. Your job is to accept that and live a nice life anyway.”
