Super Women of the Web: Exclusive Interview with the Owners of JustMommies.com

The creation of the Internet has helped individuals make their dreams of owning their own business a reality. Thanks to anonymity, unlike reality, persons are not judged by their looks, gender or personality but rather solely on their ability to run a business. The owners of "JustMommies.com" took a few moments out of their busy schedules to do an interview with me.

Tell me a little bit about yourself. What area did you grow up in?

Patty: I was born and raised in Florida. I moved to Georgia when I was 18 and that is where I met my husband.
Teresa: We grew up in the Tampa/St. Petersburg area of Florida. Up until age 13 we lived in Port Richey, Florida

What did your parents do?

Teresa: My parents were divorced when we were very young and my stepmother and dad raised Patty and I. I have always considered my stepmother my mom, but I also have a relationship with my mother as well. My dad and mom (stepmother) were insurance brokers and my mother does graphic design for a living. She spent 12 years in the Navy during our childhood and we did not see her as often as I would have liked.

What type of educational background do you have (private school, public school)?

Patty: I went to five different schools during high school and then homeschooled my senior year of high school. I was living with my aunt and uncle who were in the military so we moved a lot. I have been to college four times now and have quite a few credits but no degree. I dropped out of nursing school with one quarter to go. I was doing fine academically but after seeing someone in the emergency room that had shot himself in the head, I just decided that nursing wasn't for me.

Teresa: I went to public school mostly, except for the half year that I spent in a private Christian school. As an adult I attended nursing school in Florida. I went through a divorce and did not complete it. I later completed a medical assisant program. I made a second attempt at nursing school. I was actually attending nursing school when we began Justmommies. As Justmommies grew bigger I ultimately decided my heart was here and nursing school would have to wait again. I am still unsure if I will go back and complete my degree.
