Meet Jenn!
Meet Jenn! While some know Jenn as a local blogger with that “keep-you-guessing” hair style who is often sharing her favorite summer swimsuits or colors for fall on Facebook or her website – jennfalik.com – she is also a Westport Native and mom of two girls who like so many of us, is constantly trying to stay afloat in this crazy world of Motherhood. After years in PR, Jenn began creating on-air segments for national TV shows like Today, The View, E! News and more, and while she does It still, she loves being back in Westport, and living across the street from her childhood best friend! Jenn loves summer mornings at Elvira’s, is a major musical theatre geek (self-described!), and prides herself on keeping It real. Thank you Jenn for not being afraid to write, think, dress or live outside the box – and for putting down in words things so many of us are thinking, but don’t know how to express!

Meet Cori!
So many of us as moms find ourselves doing things we never initially expected after having kids, and Cori, partner to Co-Founder Sandy Friesen of Welden bags, is a great example of that! Though in another life she may be a math teacher or a stylist, she is the proud VP of Sales and Marketing at Welden bags, focused on bringing a new version of craftsmanship and creativity to the hand bag market. Cori grew up in Westport, left briefly, and returned as a mom of two, and loves Compo Beach, fall weekends at Silvermans and Jones, and is often seen – with her signature red lipstick and top knot at Bar Taco or Rizzutos with her family. Who knew a ballet class for her daughter would turn into a new career path? Thanks Cori for sharing your story!
