 Tina and Francis Léger, Co-Publishers
You could say husband and wife team, Tina and Francis Léger, have been working together since their early days in the CIA – the Culinary Institute of America, that is, where they met as students in the mid ’80s. Over the years, they’ve made the transition from the culinary industry into business management and in 1999 entered the publishing industry when they bought into the Perfect Wedding Guide franchise. Now, in their third decade of their personal and professional partnership, these parents of three young children are excited to announce their newest arrival. Tina and Francis acquired the Central Florida edition of Modern Babies & Children in 2007. The couple is also producing the "SummerFun Expo" for families who are looking for summer camp activities. In their free time, they enjoy spending time with their children and keeping their culinary skills sharp with dinner and cocktail parties.

A Florida native, Francis is excited to help fill what he sees as a void in the marketplace for up-to-date information about products, services, and wholesome entertainment for families. He finds it satisfying to be able to offer answers to the same kinds of questions he and Tina have encountered in raising their two sons and daughter, ranging from ages 3 to 8.
Francis is focusing his attention on the administrative and technical end of Modern Babies & Children. He also enjoys his role in helping advertisers grow their businesses by introducing them to prospective clients.
After hanging up his chef’s hat years ago, this longtime entrepreneur has worn many others – including country club management, hosting his own cooking show (pre Food Channel) on local cable television in Atlanta, and owning his own driving range.

Just like her husband, Tina’s professional roots started in the restaurant kitchen. She made her way from the “back of the house” to the business and management side of the industry, transitioned into coordinating weddings, and eventually bought into Perfect Wedding Guide, after advertising her own business in the publication. Moving along with her brides and grooms to the next phase of life was a natural.
Tina’s focus with Modern Babies & Children is working with advertisers and helping to connect them to local families. However, when it comes to a job description, her children have their own idea. She reports that they are utterly thrilled that their mommy “owns her own dot com.” At a Halloween party, one of the kids introduced Tina as “She’s Modern Babies & Children dot com.”
As a mom, Tina can’t wait to share activities and events her family has enjoyed and to pick up some new ideas along the way.
She also thrives on working with her husband. They are each other’s ying and yang. Tina describes Francis as big picture oriented; she gets excited about the immediate details.
