A little about yourself...: I'm 24 years old and just about to finalize a divorce from my ex who had left when our youngest was 4 months old. So I've worked nights as a waitress in a local restaurant in addition to raising the kids without much help from him at all. I started to feel a bit down about my situation but due to our "Bake Night Mondays" at work with the girls I was actually offered a job baking for the restaurant I work for! So now I wait tables, bake AND work at the hockey rink concession stand...all at night while my parents watch my little ones. And to top it all off, I have an amazing boyfriend who has done more with me and the kids in the few months we've been together than I could ever have hoped for.

I love to bake, knit, write, make jewelry and do all sorts of crafty things and am hoping to be able to get a portfolio together so I can apply to art school in November. :o)

You have definitely come to the right place...also please feel free to invite in your wide circle of mom friends/family/colleagues.

You can start your journey here on Butterfly by joining our very active SINGLE MOMS group...and also consider starting a BAKING MAMAS or COOKIN MAMAS group??

How did you hear of us??

Each month, we feature a celebrity or hi-profile mother and a peer to provide inspiration to our moms. This month, we are featuring Jill Zarin, Real Housewives of NYC. Jill tells it like it is for sure!

Enjoy our original content, and explore all of the various resources available on our site -- from our career coach and psychotherapist to our national job board (with over 10,000 posts)!

I would love to hear more on if you're able to get your portfolio together for art school. I originally went to Ithaca College for an Art Degree...some 2 years later into the program I elected to also take a Business Management degree as well.

Enjoy our community -- and start the conversation! Let me know if you have any questions/comments.
Best,
Terry, Co-Founder, Bfly
