Kristen Wheeler – Balanced Bliss Organizing

Kristen Wheeler is a mom of two and a Professional Organizer serving Central MA and surrounding areas. She considers a professional organizer to be much like a personal trainer. You could do the work and research organizing solutions on your own but many times it feels like torture. And other times you just don’t maintain the motivation to finish the project. That’s where she comes in. She assists clients with the process from sorting and decluttering to finding creative storage solutions. Plus she can help with refining and maintaining those systems over time. Changing people’s lives through organizing and simplifying brings her great joy.

Jennifer Randall Thoreson – Sweet Ginger Vintage

My business is named Sweet Ginger Vintage and I describe it as “A virtual and actual vintage emporium of one of a kind items.” I have an actual brick and mortar store where I showcase my vintage clothing and accessory finds. Because of my daughter’s special needs, however, maintaining full time open hours are impossible so I also maintain an Etsy shop of my best finds that is open 24/7.

On top of that my real passion is my sewing. When it works around my daughter’s needs I sew custom vintage reproduction clothing and custom made corsets. My previous business was a custom sewing and alterations business specializing in bridal/formal wear. When my daughter came along her needs became my priority and I was no longer able to maintain a 70-80 hour work week or meet the demands of bridal schedules.

Now I sew the things I love on a schedule that allows me to put my daughter first. Currently my custom work is only available for local purchase but one of these days my daughter won’t need me as much as she does today. Then I will expand and grow my clothing and design options. This picture is a few years old, right after I closed my original sewing business, but it captures perfectly my true heart and passion.

Anna Coy – Blooms in Hand

My name is Anna Coy. I am the owner of Blooms in Hand, a subscription floral bouquet delivery service for North New Jersey. Every week I deliver new, fresh, curated, hand tied bouquets to customers’ homes and businesses. I have been a floral designer for over a decade and have had the unique opportunity to work with some of the best in the industry as a freelance designer, having my hand in numerous events and occasions. Blooms in Hand has become the perfect “next step” in my career.

I began working out of my home nearly a year ago and have been happily serving subscription clients since. The bouquets I send represent the culmination of the skills and knowledge I’ve picked up along the way. Each one is made by me and wrapped with love. I have been thrilled with the response and word of mouth growth I have experienced. I have recently received the keys to a floral studio I will soon be opening. The space will be used for hosting floral design workshops, pop up markets and open studio days. I look forward to sharing this exciting new step with both old and new friends in the community.

Jennifer Kuhn – Nanny Magazine

Nanny Magazine‘s tagline is “Teach, Play, Love,” which is perfectly suited to the publication’s personality. Started by two nannies in 2013, the magazine has now grown to be a positive resource for nannies, women and men (aka, “mannies”) whose profession is tremendously under served. Often, those who choose to work in childcare are asked, “when are you going to get a real job?” The answer is simple: helping to raise the next generation of our society is a real job. And it’s really hard.

Jennifer Kuhn is the owner of this publication, which is currently run on entirely volunteer efforts and is truly a labor of love. The volunteers working behind Nanny Magazine hope that parents will find value in the publication as well. “I think every parent who employs a nanny should subscribe to Nanny Magazine on behalf of their nanny as a welcome gift or nannyversary present.” Jennifer says. “After all, this nanny is a new member of the family and is entrusted with the most precious thing in your life–your kids! So why not show a little extra support?”
