About

Danielle Smith is the wife of one of the funniest guys in the world and Mommy to two sweet and sassy small people. In her ‘free time’, she balances work as the founder and primary author of ExtraordinaryMommy.com as well as hosting and producing Bliss TV, creating Vlogging Tips for people looking to jump on camera and traveling around the country to speak on a wide variety of topics ranging from video and vlogging to blogger/brand relationships, the use of social media and the benefits of cause marketing.

Danielle makes ‘Give Good, Get Good’ a motto she lives by - aiming to teach her children to give of themselves daily.  She believes strongly in cause marketing and was lucky enough to work as a Correspondent at the 2010 Winter Olympic Games on behalf of Procter & Gamble and has championed the Fight Against Child Hunger - working directly with the Con Agra Foods Foundation. On a local level, Danielle has served as the Volunteer Coordinator for the Life is Good Festival in the St. Louis area, and has also chaired and MC’d the Winter Wonderland Festival for the Leukemia Lymphoma Society.

In her previous life (aka before children) Danielle was an Award Winning Television News Anchor and Reporter. Much of her life’s experiences have been in public speaking, writing and listening.

As a result of her work on ExtraordinaryMommy.com, Danielle has been featured on The CBS Early Show, Fox News, CNN Headline News, and NPR, as well as local stations in both St. Louis, Missouri and Memphis, Tennessee.  She is a contributing author to The Internet Mommy and The Little Pink Prayer Book - a Tribute to Breast Cancer Survivors.

Danielle, her family and ExtraordinaryMommy.com made international headlines during the summer of 2009 when a family photo - one used for their Christmas card, was taken from one of her sites and used in a life size window advertisement in the Czech Republic.  It is Danielle’s social media connections that brought this story to her attention and helped people to begin the process of protecting themselves online.

Mentioned in USA Today for her relationship with children’s publisher, Mackinac Island Press, much of Danielle’s energy is focused on teaching and sharing gratitude and ‘giving back’. Through her Give Good, Get Good Project, Danielle hopes to help parents learn new ways to make a difference, and by example, to teach their children one of the most important traits they can possess - a kind and giving heart.

Danielle looks forward to hearing your favorite mommy moments, learning your best tips for keeping your sanity and love of self, and your overall feedback on Extraordinary Mommy.
