MomLogic is seeking a mom to feature for an eco home makeover story
FREE products and fame, what more could you want? Do you or anyone you know (in the LA area) want help greenifying your home? They would like to do the shoot at the beginning of next week so we have time to get this up for Earth Day, 4/22. If your family needs a major environmental intervention and green home makeover -- from faulty sprinklers to lights always left on, from half-empty plastic water bottles just thrown in the trash to multiple gas-guzzling SUVs -- let the MomLogic Green Team step in and give your home a green makeover everyone in the family will like! It's up to you to save the planet...one makeover at a time. Email Jackie at jackie.macdougall at momlogic.com if you are interested!

My wonderful cousin is looking for an exec. position at a prod. comp. in the film biz
>From what I hear, these jobs are nearly impossible to come by, but she has exceptional experience and a true passion for film (Every time something interesting comes up she always says, "Maybe there's a movie there.") She worked for Producer, Paula Wagner at C/W Productions for two years until making the transition with the company to United Artists films. She became Wagner's "right hand man" and was promoted to Creative Executive early last year working with development and production. While she is grateful for all that she learned during her time at both CW and UA, she has found that she much prefers working in a production company environment than a studio one and is looking to move on.  I would never post this on "Jen's List" if I didn't truly believe my cousin would be an asset and hope you or your friends/family connected in the film industry looking for someone with her qualifications would contact me for a reference. If you are interested, or have any leads, please contact her directly -Alisa Starler at astarler at gmail.com.

Tony Sopranos of Moms(a MUST read!)
http://j-kosblog.blogspot.com/2008/02/tony-soprano-of-moms.html
Several months ago, my friend Jenni started a blog. She started it when she was pregnant and it's basically very candid and what she thinks is humorous stories about things that happen to her or that she thinks about. Until now, she really haven't shared it with anyone but has decided it's time to put it out there. It's definitely a work in progress and she will be updating with more posts more frequently. The hope/dream/long term goal is that it starts to get a lot of traffic and buzz and leads to more writing opportunities for her!
