Someone even more obsessed than me!

Okay, so I have gotten a bit obsessed with this internet thing, blogging, starting boutique sites, and promoting Mom's! I also have a new LOVE for web design. I find myself browsing the sites of web designers and looking through their portfolios repeatedly! Believe me there are some great Mom web designers and some no so great ones out there. One really great designer that kept jumping out at me was Red Peach Designs. I would go to sites that just looked awesome and again and again they would be done by Red Peach Designs, quickly I added www.RedPeachDesigns.com to my favorites. In the process of ordering ads for my sites I got an order form back for completion and I learned that the owner of RedPeachDesigns.com was who had sold me the ad through one of several websites she owned. I went to each of the sites just loved them all!!! I was impressed by the quality of the sites and the products in each. So, I wondered does this mad woman own a top-notch web design business, a boutique site that carries fabulous baby/mommy items, a jewelry boutique site plus she makes the jewelry!!! How could this be possible? I had to find out because if she really did do all this my plans seemed minuscule next to her current accomplishments!!! Below you can read my questions and answer session with Danielle (who we shall refer to, for always and forever, as Wonder Woman): Q: I got to ask though do you really own all those websites and manage them? Wonder Woman Answers: Well, my primary business is the web design but I do own www.redpeachdesigns.com, www.emilyjuliette.com, www.sparklemama.com, www.topbabyboutiques.com, and www.clothdiapersites.com. Q: If you tell me something like that you have like 5 kids, home school, run all those sites and do still manage to keep your house clean I am going to VOMIT! How do you run 5 sites? Wonder Woman Answers: I don't do all the cleaning hubby helps with that. The topbabyboutiques.com and clothdiapersites.com sites basically run themselves (except for the advertising which I set up). I make the jewelry for sparkle mama and the hubby helps with the boutiques. To keep you from Spewing I won't mention the projects and sites I have in the works! ;) Q: So, with doing all this how do you manage to do such great quality work in all that you do? Wonder Woman Answers: It's hard with the two kids. It's funny to even say that because they are my inspiration. My son has autism and we decided I should stay home to be here with him every day to help him grow, learn and have the best chance at living a fulfilling life. In doing that I have learned how time manage and live a full life! That is why anything I do I pour my complete self into, I give more than 100% and I hope it shows in the quality of my work. Q: Wow! You are really amazing and all your work that I have seen is a testament to that. Do you ever think you are doing too much? Wonder Woman Answers: Yeah, I think I'm in over my head and I don't sleep a TON, especially with our whole family in one bed most nights, but the lack of sleep is worth the success and the positive encouragement from clients keeps me going. Q: So, is there anything else that you are passionate about other than complete and total Web Domination? Wonder Woman Answers: Well, I am not quite ready for web domination but give me some time. What I am really passionate about is Autism Awareness and Research. I have created a special Autism Bracelet

that I sell at www.sparklemama.com, 20% of the proceeds from all Autism Awareness Bracelet sales are donated to the Autism Research Institute in San Diego, CA. Q: So, you are Wonder Woman? Wonder Woman Answers: No, I am not Wonder Woman. I am just another mom who is really doing everything I can to make a difference. If that difference comes from creating a pretty bracelet someone loves, providing great mommy and baby products for sale, donating money and time to the cause of autism or creating a site that is easy to navigate and pleasing to the eye then that makes me happy! Well, as you readers can see she is a Wonder Woman even if she won't take credit for it. I am very glad I got to know her because now I know that my aspirations are possible if I pour myself into my work and give it my all. I'd love for all of you to support her great works by visiting one or all of her sites; you can use the links below.
