Hello, everybody! It's great to be part of such a wonderful network.

Do you guys actually celebrate Valentines day there? I have always wanted to visit India as well. I think the Culture is very interesting to me.
My kids age are 5 which is my youngest son. My daughter is 6 and my oldest stepson is 18. He just left for a military school..

I have written about the gender ratio in India and I am helping a women promote a documentary she is making about the issue. I'd like to meet some of the people I have interviewed in person.

Have a good day!

I shall get my sister to join the bandwagon, too. She's married to an American and they live in Spokane, WA. I've visited the US several times and enjoyed each trip.
I'll get on the job of joining a group asap.

Have a wonderful day!
Ciao, Sharon

Welcome to Butterfly! Thanks for sharing your story! You may want to start your journey here by joining one of our group (groups under members tab) to connect and network with like moms. Would LOVE for you to start a INDIA MOMS group or GOVERNMENT MOMS group. We have many moms here from India as well!

I would love for you to write reguarly about the experience of work/life for moms in India. It's interesting to know that you write that we face the same kind of challenges --because we truly believe that no matter who you are, whether celebrity mom, every day mom or single mom, we all have to deal with many of the same obstacles.

Each month, we feature a mom mentor video to inspire and empower the Butterfly community and to prove that we can achieve both personal and professional aspirations. Enjoy our exclusive January video with Dina Manzo of the Real Housewives of NJ as she speaks about running a non-profit, her daughter and mean girls, date night and finding time for herself.

Don't miss the resource editorial in health, finance and fitness, to name a few. Let me know if you have any questions.

Please take a moment to invite your circle of moms into the community by way of the invite tab. Enjoy the content and the conversation.
Best,
Terry, Co-Founder, Bfly
