Building a Cookie Empire, Raising a Family, and Capturing Life's Sweetest Moments with Jenny Keller

I am so excited to have Jenny Keller, the "Cookie Queen" herself, on the podcast today! I first met Jenny back in the very early days of Chatbooks and before she'd opened herJenny Cookies bakery–we were both sponsoring the Santa's Secret Workshop in West Hollywood–an event bringing together celebrities and their families to celebrate the holiday season while supporting charitable causes. Well,Jenny, always up for a party, was there with her incredible cookies and her infectious smile and as soon as we met we became fast friends! I soon realized that she was also friends with many of the celebrities there as she'd made a name for herself by planning and catering some of their own star studded parties. A lot has happened since then and Jenny's inspiring journey is now taking a dramatic turn and in this episode she shares all the details! She opens up about the ups and downs of running a business while raising a family, how she creates meaningful family traditions, and the unexpected joys of having older kids. And you won't want to miss her heartfelt insights on capturing the beautiful, messy, and real moments of family life. So join us as we chat about family, memories, and all the sweet in-betweens of motherhood.  Use code: MOMFORCE for 20% off your first  Chatbooks order!  Follow Vanessa Follow Chatbooks Try out HeyFam our new family chat app 1:30 How Vanessa and Jenny met  7:00 What is a Jenny Cookie and how did that name happen? 14:30 Party and hosting tips and tricks  22:30 How motherhood changes as your kids get older  25:00 Accept that your kids are not going to be your mini me  28:00 Family traditions can be out of the box  35:00 Big changes at Chatbooks  39:00 Family mottos and how to create one  41:30 What is next for Jenny
