This week's Smart + Stylish Mom Spotlight is on Jordan Lloyd Bookey, Chief Mom of Zoobean and former head of K-12 Education Outreach at Google.  She's 37 years old and lives in Washington, DC with her children, Cassius (5) and Florence (3), and her husband and business partner, Felix.  In 2014, Jordan and Felix appeared on ABC's "Shark Tank" and won an impressive $250k investment from Mark Cuban to grow Zoobean.
