About
Welcome to Your Homebased Mom!
My number one priority has been and will always be my family.
But I also feel strongly that it is possible for women to incorporate all of their interests, goals and ambitions into a balanced life.
I love working with women and helping to inspire them to achieve their goals and dreams while still maintaining motherhood and family as their number one priority.
I have been a homebased mom for 26 years since my first baby boy was born! I have been married to hubby Jim for 28 years and am mom to Logan, 25, Clark, 23, Calista, 20 and Tessa 16. I have run various types of homebased businesses – from selling crafts, teaching children’s sewing classes and for the past 10 years a direct sales business. I have been fortunate enough to receive numerous national and regional awards in personal sales, recruiting and leader development. I am a top leader in my company.
I love helping other women learn to balance home and business. I believe strongly that you can be a great mom and run a successful business at the same time! You can have your cake and eat it too! (And I’ve got some great cake recipes if you need them!)
The purpose of this blog is to share with you tips, ideas and systems I have learned during 17 years of running a home based business. I also want to share with you other things that I enjoy – spending time in my garden, cooking and entertaining for family and friends, reading and of course scrapbooking! I also look forward to hearing from you – I hope you will take the time to make a comment on a subject that inspires or interests you and that you will share some of your tips and ideas, recipes etc. too!

Hello, I just stumble upon your website looking for quantities for feeding large crowds. I just recently was asked by my church to head up the events team. We have about 700 people at our church so it requires some knowledge of quantities. A young couple who doesn’t have much money also asked me to cater their wedding of around 300. Although I have 6 children and host alot of parties and gatherings I am never confident. If you have any tips or recipes you would share I would be truely blessed by your gift.
God bless,
Lynn Sullivan

I’d be happy to give you some suggestions. I will email you privately with my phone number and we can talk about it live on the phone if you’d like!
My husband and I are about to have our first child. It is my dream to be a stay at home mom. I have thought numerous times about starting a home-based baking business but have absolutely no idea where to begin. I was wondering if you have any tips on getting a home-based business started.
Your blog is always a source of inspiration. It’s always very positive, upbeat and makes me gain weight just looking at all the YUMMY photos
You have a beautiful family!
Hi Leigh Anne,
I found your blog about 2 hours ago and I already have your sugar cookies cooling on the counter. I was looking for something to bake that didn’t call for eggs, since I’m out. They smell great and I can’t wait to frost/eat them. One question, in some of your recipes you refer to a “cube” of butter, is that the same is a 1/4 pound, a stick?
Can’t wait to read and try more, and greetings from Wiscconsin!!
I was fortunate enough to find your site today! We’re preparing for a trip to Destin in a few short weeks and I am an avid shell collector. We went to Shell Island last year, however, the shells were mediocre. Do you remember the name of the shell / dolphin cruise line that your company used? I would like to do this with my family. Thank you so much for your valuable information & blog!!
I haven’t been reading your blog for long, but I started receiving the email updates and realized today that you have a daughter named Tessa. I have my own Tessa. She’s 21 months old. Great name choice!
Hi Leigh Anne.
I wanted to thank you for the link back to my magazine – ‘Snapshot’. Karen Herrema is great to work with. I am so glad I met her. Sounds like she is getting a huge response, I’m so excited for her.
You have a great blog! I love all the recipes, yummy. Kudos!
If you ever want to contribute anything to ‘Snapshot’ just let me know. If you’re ever interested, I am also starting to do website link exchanges. Thanks and have a wonderful evening.
Best regards, Shiela Strubel
