WOMEN TO WATCH

Jennifer Maune

Owner
Maune Legacy Blog

Maune Legacy is a lifestyle blog centered around motherhood, style, home living, party planning, recipes, travel and health. As a mom of five children ages eight to one, I started a blog to document our life, but I have many interests and it’s become a place where my passions collide. My readers are from more than 20 countries and my online reach has grown to more than 100,000 within a year. I love to use my skills and talents, and it’s a joy and honor to connect with women from different walks of life.

PRESSING QUESTIONS

Best career moment so far:

When my blog became a business, I hoped to partner with brands like Mattel, Fisher-Price, Carter’s, and it’s rewarding to see partnerships materialize. I’ve also loved seeing my husband Brian support me and come alongside me as a partner.

How I knew this was my passion:

With my background in communications and my love for reading, writing and all things feminine and pretty, starting a blog was a natural interest. Once I started connecting with my readers, I realized that I can bring joy to others.

Best advice I ever received:

My mother always quoted, “If you can imagine it, you can achieve it. If you can dream it, you can become it.” I believe we all have greatness within us. Perseverance, determination and faith have brought success to Maune Legacy.

Most rewarding part of my job:

It’s rewarding to receive messages that someone has been touched or inspired to take a leap of faith. I hope Maune Legacy can be a place of positivity and joy, a place where women can feel uplifted and inspired.

Favorite part of living in Little Rock:

My grandparents raised five kids here and most of our family lives here. I love that we have great schools, great shopping and we have an amazing church. Little Rock is home, and I hope it always will be!

Biggest challenges in my career:

The biggest challenge has been finding balance between pursuing my dreams and being a mom. Being a mother is my first priority, so it’s finding balance and knowing when to stop so I can be present in the moment.

Advice for my 18-year-old self:

I would tell her that she is strong, she is brave, she is valuable, she is a world changer and she will one day have five little people who love her to the moon and back.

My typical workday:

I balance spending time with my kids while wearing many hats. I plan content. I’m the stylist, photographer, editor, writer, publisher, marketer. I handle pitching brands, the finances and now manage my staff and oversee all the moving pieces.
