Meet Victoria – the mom behind "Pinkalicious"
Who would have thought an April Fool’s joke about a mom’s child turning pink after eating too many pink cupcakes would have turned into a children’s book series, TV show, and Broadway Musical? No one, including Victoria Kann, mom of two teenage girls, and the author of the 60+ beloved Pinkalicious books anyone and everyone with little girls knows and loves. Victoria moved to Westport 13 years ago, but grew up coming here as a kid! She loves writing, time with her family, gardening, and pets; in fact, growing up she had 2 cats and 13 kittens at one point, in addition to ducks, a rabbit, and a dog (at different times!). Victoria is often known for her silly sense of humor, and swears by blush and her sleep! Don’t miss an in-person reading of her newest book, Pinkalicious and the Amazing Sled Run at the Saugatuck StoryFest THIS Saturday at 11am! We are lucky to call this beloved author one of our own!

Meet Jeannette!
So many people in our community have a unique story about how their realtor helped them find that perfect house and how he/she really made them excited to call Westport home. Jeannette Floto is one of those special people who leaves a mark on all the families she helps. In addition to being hard-working, passion and incredibly talented at what she does, Jeannette is a very involved mom to three, adds tremendous positive energy to any room she walks into, and loves enjoying all of the different seasons in Fairfield County where she was born and raised. Jeannette had an unexpected open-heart surgery 2.5 years ago, and now truly views every day as a chance to help others, to teach kindness in her kids, and to enjoy her husband, who she only regrets not meeting earlier in life. She swears by the app Instacart and mascara, but most importantly, is enjoying this time in life with her family and bringing new people into this community she feels so lucky to call her home.

Many people locally have likely heard of Homes with Hope and/or the Project Return Luncheon every fall in Norwalk for Homes with Home.

The organization provides emergency shelter to men women and families (35 children!) in Westport every night. Through Project Return, on Compo Rd. North, the organization houses 8 young women, aged 18-24, who are trying to get back on their feet after the many challenges one faces in a life without parental influence or positive role models.
With fall around the corner, don't forget your gutters!
