Vicky loves nothing more than being the mother of a beautiful five year old boy, Aidan, and wife of 13 years to her high school sweetheart, Doug. Working with children and adults in the field of Early Care and Education, for as long as she can remember, Vicky has a gifted passion for learning and teaching. She was born and raised in Greater Cincinnati and graduated with a BA in Elementary Education from N.K.U. She has worked at 4C, A Childcare Resource and Referral Agency, for 12 years. Experience at 4C has given her the opportunity to coach family child care providers, present workshops in the field of early care and education, assist parents in seeking quality child care and more. The past five years, she has been fortunate enough to stay at home with Aidan and continue to provide consulting to others. Vicky founded Curly-Haired Productions in 2006 to continue to pursue assisting others in keeping life and family simple.

What Really Matters to Jen:  Morning Hugs, The Ocean, Quiet Time, Renovating, Warm and Sunny Days, Just Because Hugs, All Day Jammy Days, Tickle Time, Renovating Again, Quiet Time, Wheel Throwing Pottery, Shell Hunting, Organization and Disorganization, Little Girl Giggles, Movies, The Zoo, Goodnight Hugs.

Jen is married to Jeff and a very proud mom of two beautiful girls, Jasmine and Jade. She was born and raised in Cincinnati, graduating from the University of Kentucky with a BA in Graphic Design. Her passion for water led her around the world as a SCUBA Instructor and trip leader.  Her expertise led to becoming “Diver Jen”, the diver who helped develop exhibits and place animals at the soon to open Newport Aquarium.  Once open, Jen was the Dive Coordinator, developing the Volunteer Diver Program and coordinating all press engagements in the tanks.  Now, as the mom of two young ones, the travels are on hold, but she still teaches an occasional SCUBA class to get a small dose of the underwater peace.  Most recently she has returned to her long time comfort zone of chlorine and is back to coaching springboard diving.  When Jasmine and Jade go to school, she hopes to start dabbling in pottery again and explore some other arts that she has put aside for the time being.  Not “computer savvy” at all, Jen is enjoying herself as she digs in to share the little things in her life that really matter and learn with the audience ways to keep it simple.
