Parenting and Education:
Jill has written on a broad range of parenting and education-related subjects from homeschooling and kids playing chess for The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal to innovative educational apps and decorating a pregnant belly for Time Out New York Kids and Mom365.
Jill started writing about parenting after her daughter was born. How else could she do telephone interviews while her children screamed and set fire to the apartment?
Her first assignment after her son was born was helping The New York Times cover the New York City Marathon. It was an all day assignment so technology came to the rescue. She brought her laptop, digital camera, tape recorder, cell phone and breast pump. The marathoners thought they were up for a challenge but try pumping in Central Park on Marathon Sunday when you're surrounded by 35,000 people.
As Jill's kids are growing up, she's been writing more about education-related issues for publications including The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. Jill has also written about parenting and kid-related issues for Time Out New York Kids, Mom365.com, Nick Jr. Magazine and other magazines and websites.
She's proud that her books, When We Became Three: A Memory Book for the Modern Family and When We Became Four: A Memory Book for the Whole Family pull so much of her knowledge and humor together to create a wonderful keepsake journal for new parents.
The Home-Schooled Don’t Just Stay at Home appeared in the Museum section and details how museum programs for the homeschooled are springing up all over the country.
Celebrating Women's Sports One Image at a Time is about an educational program that uses some startling, clever and simple images of women and girls participating in sports to address issues of body image, determination diversity, teamwork, self-confidence and character. The program is derived from the photography driven book ''Game Face: What Does a Female Athlete Look Like?''

Now that Jill has a tween and a teen, a whole different set of compelling issues are coming to the forefront of her life. There's so much to explore and to learn about in this dynamic, exciting and frustrating phase of parenting, why not write about some of it for a dynamic family centered magazine? Here's Jill's first blog post for Family Circle.
To put her finger on the pulse of what's happening in the world of parenting books, she wrote this article for Publisher's Weekly about upcoming parenting releases..
