- Shannon was born and raised in suburban Philadelphia to two true Philadelphians! There are Philly cheesesteaks and soft pretzels running through my veins. Shannon is currently residing in Chester County and is a mom to 2 beautiful girls. She came to Chester County as an undergrad at West Chester University and fell in love with the area. She decided to stay in the region when she started her career in Project Management and eventually obtained her MBA from Penn State Great Valley. Shannon loves to travel with her husband, who is a fellow Pennsylvanian, and children and explore all that this fine state has to offer! The blogging bug bit Shannon in early 2008 as a way to keep her friends and family updated on her childrens' lives. Soon after, Shannon became a regular contributor and then "Mom"-ager of ChesterCountyMoms.com, a regional "Mommy Blog" for women living in Chester County, thanks to her friend (and fellow Savvy Grouse blogger) Sarah Freymoyer. In October 2008, Shannon and her fellow Chester County Mommy Bloggers participated in a GM Ride & Drive to the BlogHer Reach Out Tour in Boston. In May 2009, Shannon and Sarah appeared on a local ABC segment on the influence of Mommy Bloggers. Following the great success of ChesterCountyMoms.com, Shannon and Sarah launched MontcoMom.com, a regional blog for moms in Montgomery County in June 2009. Shannon is a member of both The Chester County Mommy Bloggers and The Philly Mommy Bloggers, is a Kiwi Magazine Ambassador, and is a bit of a social media junkie. When not blogging, facebooking or twittering, Shannon loves to spend time with her husband and daughters camping, hiking and enjoying the fresh air. Shannon is passionate about going green, organic eating and the environment
