Norwalk Granola Business Is A Collaboration Between Mother, Sons NORWALK, Conn -- It's no secret moms want their kids to eat healthy. They also want their -on-the-go-kids to be able to grab a snack that sustains them. And so, with those concepts in mind, Kelly’s Four Plus Granola was born. It started three years ago when then New Canaan resident Cordy Gould Kelly started making granola for her family. Because her sons, Nate and Will were into competitive rowing, the two started taking the granola to practice and regattas, leaving samples for others to snack on. "Before you know it, I had people leaving me notes with orders," said Nate. "Everyone kept…

Family Bond Is The Secret To Success For Mother/Son Chappaqua Businesss CHAPPAQUA, N.Y. -- There's one thread that weaves throughout the story of Chappaqua-based bobbysue's nuts! and that is "No one has your back or front like family." So explained Barb "bobbysue" Kobren, founder/chairman of the business she runs with her son, Adam Kobren, who serves as the company's president. And though it can be tough to "turn it off" and not talk business all the time, she said they work hard to separate the two. "You try to take something like laundry," -- Adam came over recently to use her machine -- "and separate it from the enormity of all you have to do to kee…

Weston Mother-Daughter Team Start New Girl Empowerment Network WESTON, Conn. -- Talk about girl power: The new social media platform, the 7Sisters Project, being launched this Mother's Day by mother-daughter duo Marilyn and Marisa Fezza is barely off the ground but already has Facebook followers from 49 countries. "It's clear we've hit a chord," Marilyn, a Weston resident, said of the idea. It was launched from a video project by Marisa, then a high school student at Convent of the Sacred Heart in Greenwich, that asked girls questions about current events such as "Can you name 10 U.S. presidents?" and then juxtaposed those questions with "What celebr…

For Stamford Mom And Daughter, Every Day Is Mother's Day STAMFORD, Conn. -- Never in a million years did Stevie D'Andrea think she would end up running a business with her mother. Yet, five years into owning and operating Jewels For Hope with her mom, Sandy, D'Andrea, she can’t imagine anything else.

The stores, owned by mother/daughter team Lynda and Jessye Piscitelli, are all about offering trendy, affordable items to clients with fun and interesting clothing and accessories -- the kinds of things a friend finds for you that fit just right.

Life's A Basket Full Of Fun For Armonk Mother Daughter Duo ARMONK, N.Y. -- Jennifer Colonna never thought she'd be working with her mother. But, after spending her college years helping out with social media marketing for Bedford-based Tasteful Treats & Treasures, a gift basket company, it just made sense.

For Rose Colonna, who started the business in 2003 when Jennifer was going to college, it was a relief. "Jennifer was interested in doing all the things I wasn't,"…
