Jane Delaney
Founder of eMeals
Jane DeLaney is the creator and Founder of eMeals. As a mom to four kids and wife to a busy pastor, eMeals grew out of the frustrating reality she shares with many other parents who try to pull off dinner night after night. In 2003, she embarked upon creating a unique menu planning service that could incorporate all the components she needed for her own life into a “simple and good” money-saving system. From Jane’s innate sense of organization, frugality and determination a vision became a reality, and
eMeals was born. Jane’s goal, which is at the core of the eMeals mission, is to keep God and family her first priority while juggling the many demands of life and business. She says her life is crazy like most working moms. “My life is… my kids, then eMeals, then my kids, then my kids, eMeals, then eMeals some more, then back to the kids… multi-faceted!!!!” Aside from operating as the President of eMeals, Jane has also been very involved in ministry efforts in Haiti. Jane’s deep desire is to see eMeals be a practical tool that enables parents across this country to invest in the heart, connection and closeness of their homes through regular dinnertime together.

She says that her family is her test market, which translates into spending more quality time with them. Jenny says. “I am enjoying this exciting part of my journey in life, always learning and delving into the new challenges eMeals and parenting present everyday.” Jenny loves beauty all around her, is an accomplished musician, plans and pulls off amazing theme parties, encourages everyone she meets and is known in her circles as the “Queen of Comfort Food.”
Judith Barber

Judith Barber spent twenty years in corporate Marketing and Advertising, during which time her sisters, Jane and Jenny, were developing and perfecting eMeals. Judith could see eMeals had the clear potential to help thousands and thousands of busy people and families. So in 2006, she joined forces with Jane and Jenny as Marketing Director and began implementing strategic marketing initiatives. Judith is passionate about her son, her family, her friends, her art, her faith, reading and travel, and a champion for the people and the causes she cares about. eMeals has become a central crusade in her life because of its power to inspire and resource the crucial bond that dinnertime creates within families. Now the eMeals “train” is moving down the tracks at increasing speed, and Judith says she loves being with her sisters and the eMeals Team on this wild ride!

Jon Acuff’s blog, Stuff Christians Like, is a hilarious twist on the funny side of faith that challenges thinking people with brilliant wit and a side-hug. eMeals has the distinct honor of sponsoring SCL, but it was all his idea to launch his 90-Day Challenge to “Bring Dinner Back” to his family table and challenge his readers to accept the challenge along with him. Jon is posting as our guest about his adventure on our blog every Friday, so we just went ahead and added him as one of our authors!
