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 The Spin Cycle on MomTV.com - a show that keeps you current and helps you to balance your world as it spins around you. She also co-hosts Why Moms Matter on Blog Talk Radio and is the Inspiration Channel Editor for MomItForward.com

ExtraordinaryMommy.com is a website designed to remind moms of the Extraordinary work they do daily while loving and raising their children. The site provides resources as well a regular blog chronicling life as a Mommy - as Danielle sees it.

Danielle makes ‘Give Good, Get Good’ a motto she lives by - aiming to teach her children to give of themselves daily.  She is currently coordinating volunteers for the St. Louis area Life is Good Festival, as well as the chair of Winter Wonderland - a holiday event for the Leukemia Lymphoma Society.

In her previous life (aka before children) Danielle was a Television News Anchor and Reporter as well as a Wedding Planner (she’s even agreed to take on a few weddings in the next year - because she adores being around people ‘in love’). Therefore, much of her life’s experiences have been in public speaking, writing and listening. Both career paths have served to make her the author, organizer, social media addict and right-brained, creative girl she is now.

Recently 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, 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.

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.
