I am a "stay at home" mother of 2. Of course "stay at home" means juggling my 2 year old, a full time business, pick ups and drop offs of my 6 year old to school, not to mentions cooking, cleaning and shopping. Its a busy life but I love it!

4. How long have you been a Mom Entrepenuer?
Since 2002 - one article written about my business wrote "For this mom, necessity really was the mother of invention." and it really was. I was pregnant with my first child and I looked everywhere for a navel ring or barbell that would allow me to keep my piercing through pregnancy. A few months later I was a mom with a mission....

5. What made you get into the business?
I thought I couldn't possibly be the only woman out there that wanted to keep their piercing through pregnancy and since I couldn't find anyone who could help ME I figured I needed to be the one to help others. So after much time and research I came up with a product that allowed me to keep my piercing. Right away I started selling on ebay which quickly turned into a website and the rest is history.

6. What motivates you?
As far as my business my customers are the best! I receive pictures and stories and they really keep me going. Check out http://pregnancypiercings.com/bellyofmonth.php Also the network of other moms that have come up with products and have websites. It's so nice to work with other moms and bounce ideas off each other. Being a mom in business is productive and inspiring.

7. Can you recommend any good resources/websites/networks?
Linkswaps are good, Getting your product on a site like mom4life.com, singlerose.com, cafemom.com, and amomentrepreneur.com of course :)

Editors Note: I emailed Denee early this week to ask for a photo, for this feature. She replied back the next day and told me about her two year old son, who is battling for his life against leukemia. I hope she doesn't get upset with me for sharing this with you, but it's such a touching story and this little boy needs all the prayers we can send.
