Plato said that "necessity, who is the mother of invention", and necessity is exactly what gave birth to the idea of KinderBuzz.com.

KinderBuzz.com founders, Jenelyn and Kathleen, met while playing at the neighbourhood playground with their sons. The two became fast friends, and discussed everything such as where to go for playdates, what to feed our fussy little eater, and how to deal with the men (ha ha). One topic that kept coming up was how time-consuming and difficult it was to find out about the local parenting scene in Regina.  There just wasn't one source of information available.  It turns out that they weren't the only parents in the city that felt that way. And so, KinderBuzz.com was born!

Jenelyn Santos Ong
Partner & Director of Marketing & Communications

Jenelyn moved back to Saskatchewan in 2006 with her husband and then 9-month-old son. Originally from Saskatoon, she's frequently asked what she likes about Regina. And her response is always "the people are amazing!" She has very strong family values, and is thankful to have found a loving husband who supports her 100% (no matter how crazy her idea is)!

Like so many parents, she's a multitasker as our marketing, communications & sales guru (at least she tries to be). She is also the Editor and writes an occasional article here and there. But more importantly, she's the mom to two energetic, clever, chatty children who always asks her, "Mom, why are you doing laundry again?"

Jenelyn holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communications, as well as a Business Administration Honours Diploma. She's worked in a variety of industries including oil & gas, sales training and non-profit.

Kathleen Fellinger
Partner & Publisher

Kathleen's first foray into the world of publishing was at 7 years old when she crafted her very first story. She carefully bound the pages with string and covered it with left-over Christmas wrapping paper. Born was a little girl's ideas of what stories, design and creating things all on her own should be.

Kathleen is the publisher, the other half of the KinderBuzz partnership, web designer, writer, creative phenom and mom of two!  She was an Army brat growing up, travelling the world for Uncle Sam with her siblings having lived in Germany, England and all over the United States.  She landed in Regina in 2002 and hasn't looked back since starting her family.

Over ten years and a plethora of websites later, Kathleen's excitment for her craft is as fresh as it was when she first sat down to create her book at 7 years old.  Kathleen holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in History and Certificate in Web Publishing.

Rita Holowenko
Partner & Events Editor

Rita first moved to Regina for university, and after finding work and her husband here, she made Regina her home. Years later, her two current employers came into her life - her son and daughter. With them in tow, she discovered the many events that Regina has to offer.

She is our resident know-it-all (and we mean that in a good way)! Not only does she keep us up-to-date with every family-friendly event going on in and around town, but she also keeps us in the loop about new products for kids that many of us don't know about yet. She brings with her a wealth of knowledge about Regina, as well as an avid interest in the arts. And she truly believes in the idea that "we may start as participants, but eventually we become a community".

Rita has a Bachelor of Arts degree, and over 7 years of experience in the performing arts and convention industry.
