About Jill Amery

Welcome! When I started publishing UrbanMommies in 2008, the goal was to create a place where the modern parent could be cared for and nurtured. We all want to be able to show up as our best, passionate selves for our families. Since then, UrbanMommies has reached millions of moms with stories about food, travel, budget-conscious luxury, engaging activities, life hacks and creative school lunches. I have created a community of moms who understand that if they are at their best, then everyone around them is as well.
