Jennifer Leigh Corliss (nee Chastain)born October 18, 1976, is an American blogger who resides currently in Helena, Montana. She is the creator of a personal blog called mybeanz.org. Corliss explains that the name comes from the desire to not have her family name associated with a dot com combined with a nickname given to her daughter.

Jennifer was born in Vancouver, Wa and raised all over the Pacific Northwest, stating her mother was "sort of a gypsy who could never stay in one place for very long". She graduated from Kennewick High School in Kennewick Washington in 1994 and when on to attend several different community colleges. She has lived in over 25 different towns and cities but refers to Portland, OR as her "hometown". Jennifer is married to a retail manager from Sandpoint, Idaho and together they have two children: Liam (born 8/28/01) and Natalie (born 6/3/09).

In 2010 Corliss started a web blog with the intent of keeping friends and family informed. She writes about her family experiences included the candid retelling of verbal abuse from her mother, complete and total alienation of her blood family, and her sometimes harsh opinions about everything. She has received criticism for her sometimes unconventional parenting methods and black humor. She accepts text and image advertisements on her website and hopes to one day make enough profit to quit working and devote her time solely to the website.
