What do you think?
Recently, I was featured in the Florida Times Union (Jacksonville, FL) in Skirt!, a section that focuses on women’s issues. I have reprinted it here, and I have included a link to the newspaper. Maybe you can use the questions to help get to know your friends better. Might be fun!

Jennifer Marko is owner of Bottle Snugglers, a Jacksonville-based business specializing in stuffed animals that hold baby bottles, giving moms at least one free hand to do something else.
Skirt! recently got a glimpse into Marko’s life as a local business owner and mom.
