By Jenn โ Founder, Hive Keeper, and Community Cheerleader ๐โจ
If youโve ever wondered whoโs behind the pastel honeycombs, the adorable fuzzy bee, and the ridiculously packed event calendarโฆ hi! Iโm Jenn โ the creator of The Buzzy B, the woman who built this Hive from the ground up, and someone who has spent her entire life serving, protecting, teaching, and advocating for families in Colorado.
But before this became a brandโฆ
it was my calling.
People are often surprised when they hear where I started โ because itโs not common for a family resource creator to come from a background like mine.
I spent years working in law enforcement, serving my community in some of its most vulnerable moments.
This experience taught me:
Calm under pressure
Compassion over judgment
The importance of safety
How deeply families need support systems
And how much connection matters
It gave me a front-row seat to real-life struggles โ the kind families often hide behind closed doors.
After law enforcement, I moved into the world of education โ but not just any teaching.
I specialized in:
Autism
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)
Child psychology
Neurodiverse learning support
Behavioral intervention
Understanding how kiddos think, feel, and connect
This wasnโt just a job.
It shaped the way I see children, families, communication, and community.
Itโs also why The Buzzy B includes:
๐ sensory-friendly events
๐ neuro-inclusive guides
๐ gentle language
๐ safe spaces
๐ understanding, not perfection
Because EVERY family deserves access to joy โ not just the easy-to-accommodate ones.
As The Buzzy B grew, the community noticed โ and so did local media.
Iโve been proudly featured in:
๐บ Local news segments
๐ฐ Magazines & publications
๐๏ธ Community features & small-business spotlights
๐ Local influencer & parent networks
Every feature has been a reminder that families were looking for exactly what I was building.
I started The Buzzy B because families need more than a calendar โ they need connection.
I know what itโs like to:
โจ raise kids through wildly different life seasons
โจ feel overwhelmed but still want to show up for your family
โจ be neurodiverse or parent neurodiverse children
โจ be on a budget and still want fun
โจ need community support
โจ want resources you can actually trust
I built the resource I wish I had when I needed it most.
The Buzzy B exists to create a safe, warm, dependable hub for Colorado families โ a place where finding joy doesnโt require hours of scrolling, searching, or stressing.
REAL, daily, hyper-local events โ
not 10 events a week,
not outdated listings,
but 5โ50 events every single day, across El Paso, Teller, and Douglas Counties.
Seasonal guides, sensory-friendly lists, hiking trails, family activities, date nights โ all created to help you spend your time living, not Googling.
The Hive isnโt just an audience โ itโs a family.
A place where no one is alone and everyone is welcome.
Small businesses are the heartbeat of Colorado.
I partner with them, lift them up, and help families discover the gems in their own backyard.
Itโs more than a website.
More than a calendar.
More than a brand.
Itโs my purpose โ shaped by every experience Iโve had:
๐ law enforcement
๐ teaching
๐ child psychology
๐ autism support
๐ ABA work
๐ parenting my own children from infancy into adulthood
๐ loving this community deeply
I built The Buzzy B to help families feel informed, supported, connected โ and never alone.
And this is only the beginning.
