Lita - Jen

Hi, I’m Jen, also known as Lita!

Welcome to my updated site on Squarespace, where I continue to document and share my life’s journey.

The name “Lita” has a special place in my heart. Nearly 20 years ago, when I became a grandmother, I chose the name “Lita,” short for Abuelita (which means “small grandmother” in Spanish), for my grandsons to call me. Hearing them call me Lita has been one of the greatest joys of my life!

I’m a recently retired Graphic Designer and Marketing Coordinator, with over 36 years of experience working in the Traffic and Transportation Engineering field. Now, I’m taking some time to reflect on what my next adventure will be… stay tuned for updates!

Originally from Massachusetts, where most of my family still lives, I moved to Florida in the 8th grade. In high school, I had the exciting opportunity to work at Disney World, which sparked a lifelong love for all things Disney. After college in Tampa, I launched my career there before relocating to San Jose, California, where I contributed to CADD design for Highway 85. When the opportunity arose to transfer to the West Coast, I didn’t hesitate to make the move!

A few years later, I met my amazing husband, Jimi, and we’ve now been happily married for over 30 years. You can read more about Jimi, aka Pops, and his 36 years as an Elementary School teacher at Cherrywood School in San Jose.

Together, we’ve raised two wonderful daughters, Libby and Mimi, and are the proud grandparents of two grandsons, Hunter and Westly.

This blog serves as my digital journal where I share snippets of our lives, as well as my ongoing interests and passions. I invite you to follow along!

You can also connect with me on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, and Snapchat (@litasworldjen), where I share all the things that bring me joy. Please see the links below.
