We want to support and acknowledge moms. Each of you is making a difference whether you are a stay at home mom, working mom, or volunteer mom. When you become a mom, it is often easy to forget the side of you that is also a woman who may have had a career, hobbies and education before you became a parent. As a mom we spend our days multi-tasking and juggling. We are now the CEO of our households. Our job description includes diapers, dishes, carpooling, and an endless amount of laundry. Overnight you go from being a woman with style to someone who is happy to just get a shower every day. Being a mom is wonderful but it is also important to have a sense of yourself outside of your family.
This page is for you. Give us feedback on what you would like to see by emailing us at info@liparentsource.com . Check back often because this page will change monthly.

Meet Jennifer Dellafranca - a mom, a teacher and a local business owner who saw something missing from her community and came up with an amazing business to provide education to Long Island families.
Go through each day offering smiles, hugs, laughter and love and in return, you will receive the same.
My children are my inspiration - all the decisions I make are a reflection of what I want to provide for my kids, for the children they are today and the adults they will become.
For them to be amazing people, to be kind, compassionate, loving, hard working, thankful, bendable and full of heart, all which comes from strong character.
In smiles
My children! My husband and I created the most beautiful, fun-loving and down right cool boys! They are the best!
Of course the birth of my 3 boys.
BK (before kids) receiving an award at college graduation for the "graduating senior most likely to make a lasting contribution to the world of Early Childhood Education." At various times in my life, I have thought back to winning that award and always thought about how I was going to do that... was it through public school teaching?
Once I had children, I knew that I wanted to create a "family center", a place for expectant and new families to grow, a place for parents to learn to be their best for their children, a place for children to grow and explore and learn through hands on classes and so much more. As we watch Bubble grow into a true family center, watching parents and children leaving with smiles, learning and asking questions, it truly makes all of the dreams of a "better place for families" come to reality.
Juggling a family and a new business. Mant days I feel like I really need to have 24 more hours in a day. The greatest part is that Bubble is a place where I can talk with other families in our parent groups and seminars. Some days it's just nice to hear that the laundry does pile up in other people's homes too!
Really just one??? Hmmm...to live happily ever after.
I just started running again after a VERY long hiatus.
That I hate roller coasters. I really seem like a person who should like them but they scare me to death!

Babysitting and working on a fishing boat as a galley girl!My first real adult job though was teaching.
To work with children.

The beach! I love having a cup of coffee on the beach watching my kids play and have fun! Where I get the coffee, well, that all depends!
This is a hard one, there are so many! I'd say anything by Garth Brooks.
Anything that ends with a "happily ever after".
it is a toss up between Grey's Anatomy and Dirty Jobs.
Montauk because it has always been a relaxing, happy, fun time for me since I was a child!
For pleasure: The Five People You Meet In Heaven by Mitch Albom
For work: The Happiest Baby on the Block by Dr. Harvey Karp. I just got certified to teach the class to other new & expectant parents.
Anything sweet - ice cream, cake, chocolate, I love it all!
Books! I love reading to my children and feel that you can't ever have enough books! We even developed a class at Bubble based on books, called Books! Books! Books!
A beautiful sunny day at the beach with my family. To me, there's nothing like a great beach day!
The overall concept of Bubble and everything it offers our community. I had always felt that area was missing a few things; a fresh & stylish children's boutique, an innovative, NYC-like early childhood development center and a nurturing and inviting place for new & expectant parents to learn about childbirth and parenting. I wanted to create a place where new friends can meet and build their own communiy, all within a newly built, clean space where they feel comfortable and always welcome.
Having my own family. I wanted to offer new and expectant parents a safe, nurturing environment in which parents can learn, grow and be supported on their parenting journey. We recognize that every family is unique and will make decisions about childbirth, breastfeeding and parenting that are right for them. Our classes, seminars, workshops, groups, and products help promote positive, healthy choices. In addition to scheduled classes, the center is offering parenting groups facilitated by one of Bubble professional team members, for people to relax and enjoy the company of other parents and children. Our hope is that life-long connections will be made and a true community of empowerment surrounding birth and parenting will emerge.
The hardest part is the hats - as the owner I wear so many hats to run the business. I also like the control over many of those hats, so I can't complain to much! :)
I always loved infants & young children, everything about them fascinated me... how they grow, develop, learn, react. I am also very creative and love anything hands-on, which is a huge part of how children learn: through hands on play and exploration. It's right up my alley!
The children and how much they enjoy all that we do whether it is reading a story and having a discussion or getting messy with a science experiment.
To have fun while learning, be a kind friend, and put your heart into all you do.
Each month we feature a mom making a difference in our community. We want to acknowledge working moms and stay at home moms. Suggest a mom by emailing us
