Comments
Leigh Anne Wilkes (@homebasedmom) is a mom of four teens and young adults, wife, blogger and homebased business owner. She loves using her vision, creativity and time management skills to inspire and motivate women to create the life they want.
Over the last 25 years I have run various types of home based businesses and for the past 18 years, a direct sales business. What started out as a way to earn a few extra hundred dollars a month to feed my shopping addiction turned into a successful business with a full time income.
I am currently a top leader in my direct sales company, have led a team of over 700 women and spoken at many regional and national conventions and earned awards in sales, recruiting and leader development.
I love helping 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!)
Two years ago I discovered the world of blogging and since one of my talents seems to be knowing a good thing when I see it and jumping in I decided to start a blog. Fortunately, Sparkplugging (then e-moms at home) was one of the first blogs I came across! How fun that I now have an opportunity to intern here!
I currently maintain two blogs, yourhomebasedmom.com and ilashgirls.com with my friend Sherra, another intern here at Sparkplugging! I love sharing, mentoring and inspiring women (and a few men too.)
Helping others learn to balance their family/home priorities with a successful business is my passion.
I look forward to the opportunity I have to be a Sparkplugging intern, to improve my blogging skills and knowledge as well as learn more about Internet marketing, affiliate marketing and development which will help me with some other fun projects I have in the works including a network of blogs that supports, inspires and helps women.
I also look forward to sharing and learning right along with all of you!

Congratulations and welcome! Oh please, while you’re sharing your expertise, share your cake recipes!!! =) Is there a connection between being a good cook/baker and a good businesswoman?
