Q: Tell us about yourself and your family.  Married?  Children?  How many?
I've been married for 10 years to my wonderful hubby, John.  We have 2 children, Brennan is almost 7 and Noah is 14 mos.  We have had a long road with infertility and have 5 angels waiting for us in Heaven.  We are looking at adopting in the future.  We originally wanted 4 children, but will settle for 3! :)

Q: If you have children, what is your favorite part about being a mom?
All of it  I just love my children.  I love taking my oldest to school and being involved in his room.  I love that my youngest is home and am enjoying having a baby again.

Q: Cat or dog person?  Why?
Cats, they do their own thing.  Love you, want to be your friend, but have their own life!  Also, they are low maintenance.

Q: Favorite color?  Least favorite?  Any particular reason?
Pink.  Black.

Q: What type of music do you prefer?
Christian Rock

Q: Last book that you read - or tried to read?
Cookbooks, local newspaper and the Bible.

Q: What do you prefer to do in your spare time?  Hobbies/Interests?
I am very social.  I love having friends over and playing cards, or letting the children have their friends over.

Q: Funniest WAHM moment.
I guess it was this year when we were putting the tree up and I found a diaper ornament.  I hung that bad boy on the tree and showed everyone.  LOL  I received it from a company that I ordered from last year and this year I am doing what I love.  Selling cloth diapers myself.

Q: What was the inspiration behind your business?
My son Noah.  I cloth diapered him and there was no one in my state to buy from.  So, I started my own webstore and let the people in my state know I am here.

Q: How long have you been in business?  Is your business all online or do you have any local business?
5.5 months.  I do both local and online.

Q: How did you go about starting your business?  What was the VERY FIRST thing you did?
Got my business license.  Very important beginning part of business operation.  People won't sell to you without a business license.

Q: What did others think when you started your business?  Were they supportive?
Most people thought I was crazy.  I had a few supporters who have been here from the beginning though.  But most people said I would quit cloth diapering the first month also.  That hasn't happened either. :)

Q: Do you have a business plan or flying by the seat of your pants?
I am flying!

Q: What is your daily routine?
I get up and get the boys fed.  The oldest goes to school and then the youngest and I get online and check our email.  Then we go about our daily living: laundry, lunch, dinner, cleaning, etc. . . More checking email, boys home from school, snack, hubby home, dinner, email, bed.

Q: What have you found to be the toughest part of the job of WAHM?
I constantly can find things to do online to try to generate business.  It can take over.  But I don't let it and if I start to my dh puts a stop to it pretty quick.  He wants us to spend time together as a family at night time.

Q: What do you feel is your greatest strength and the greatest asset that you bring to your business?
The knowledge of cloth diapering, the testing I myself have done on my products, and my good business sense.

Q: How would others describe you?
Fun, money savvy, Christian.

Q: On the other hand, what do you feel is your greatest weakness - how have you dealt with that in your business?
I sometimes will think something is a great advertising idea and I'll mostly lose money on it.  But that's okay, because you can't learn if you don't make mistakes.

Q: How would you describe yourself?
I'm a wife first, momma second, and business owner, third!

Q: What is your favorite part of your job?
Being at home!

Q: What is your favorite other WAHM/WAHM sites?
I love WAHMall and WAHMChicks.

Q: What is your definition of a WAHM?
One who works at home and is able to balance children, husband, house and business.

Q: What is most important to you in a Cloth Diaper Resource site?
Information.
