Q: Tell us about yourself and your family.  Married?  Children?  How many?
Married to my best friend Duane, we have two beautiful children; Delaney (3) and Ashton (10 months).

Q: If you have children, what is your favorite part about being a mom?
I absolutely love when my daughter tells me she loves me.  It melts my heart.  With Ashton, I love seeing him interacting with his sister.  He looks at her with such admiration already!

Q: Cat or dog person?  Why?
Both, we have three cats and one dog.  I was a vet tech in a former life!

Q: Favorite color?  Least favorite?  Any particular reason?
My favorite color is indigo blue, my least is army green.  I'm not sure why, I just think it is ugly.

Q: What type of music do you prefer?
Jazz, I love it!

Q: Last book that you read - or tried to read?
The last book I read was Peace Like a River.  It took me forever after all of the stopping and starting!

Q: What do you prefer to do in your spare time?  Hobbies/Interests?
I love to garden, sew, hike, ski, and just hang out with our family.

Q: Funniest WAHM moment.
Talking to a customer on the phone while my baby is throwing up all over me.  NOT SPIT UP ... PUKING!

Q: What was the inspiration behind your business?
I've always wanted to own my own business, after having two children I realized I wasn't getting any younger.  If I wanted it, I'd better get on the stick!

Q: How long have you been in business?  Is your business all online or do you have any local business?
We've been in business only 8 months.  We are super busy and the local business is really starting to pick up.  We hope to have a brick and mortar store open within a year.

Q: How did you go about starting your business?  What was the VERY FIRST thing you did?
Researched on the web.

Q: What did others think when you started your business?  Were they supportive?
I think my extended family and friends might have been a bit skeptical at first.  Although, now that they see how busy we are they are certainly impressed and supportive.

Q: Do you have a business plan or flying by the seat of your pants?
Actually, a little of both.  I am constantly thinking of my next step.  I sometimes get a little ahead of myself.

Q: What is your daily routine?
Up by 5:00, nurse the baby, get daughter dressed, drink my first cup of coffee, feed everyone breakfast, get baby down for morning nap, check email, get myself dressed, hit the post office and bank, run errands, lunch, nurse baby, afternoon naps, package orders, check and respond to emails, DH comes home, dinner, bath time, story time, nurse baby, more emails, site updates, package any remaining orders, bed by 11 pm.

Q: What have you found to be the toughest part of the job of WAHM?
Finding the balance between work and family.  It is so hard because my work is in my home.  I can't leave it and go home at 5 pm.  I find myself working way more hours than I ever did at my full time job!

Q: What do you feel is your greatest strength and the greatest asset that you bring to your business?
Determination and creativeness

Q: How would others describe you?
Strong willed.  My husband says I always get my way! LOL

Q: On the other hand, what do you feel is your greatest weakness - how have you dealt with that in your business?
My greatest weakness is not being able to say no.  I have found in my business that I sometimes have to.  There are days when I just can't do everything and then I have to say NO!!

Q: How would you describe yourself?
Hard working, loving, funny and sometimes bullheaded.

Q: What is your favorite part of your job?
I get to be a mommy and have a career.

Q: What is your favorite other WAHM/WAHM sites?
I love Kiwi Pie and Wonderoos!

Q: What is your definition of a WAHM?
A mommy that found a way to stay home and have a career.

Q: What is most important to you in a Cloth Diaper Resource site?
It has to be easy to navigate.
