Made our day, literally, to see #WID2015 and #WomensInternationalDay trending on twitter, but did you happen to check out what was going on today on Instagram? 

So brilliant: Honoring Womens Day

2013 certainly has been no picnic for most of us. Some markets and industries are feeling pretty good about now; can you say  hashtag #Twitter IPO. But for most of us, it continues to be a "work hard, play hard and little chance to put money in bank for a rainy day" economy. The heavy storms have lifted in some markets but for the most part we've continued to keep our heads down trying to keep focus around keeping motherhood, work, daycare, social lives, school activities and downtime in…

The official Hallmark Holiday named Mother’s Day is approaching quickly.  I tend to believe that we should be celebrated every day rather than one lone Sunday during the month of May.  That’s just me.  Last year I blogged on Butterfly about giving ourselves the gift of time- time off and time out as…

As the Co-founder of Butterfly, I have been honored to meet a plethora of intelligent, savvy and witty women in business.  One such woman is Diana Kostas.  Diana is the Director of Business Development for…

We noticed that 15 moms on MyWorkButterfly celebrated their birthday today - April 22. 

That got us thinking. Yes, we're all connected here on Butterfly. But, do these same 15 moms within one community even know each other. Have they ever had a conversation -…

I ripped an article out of the New York Postlast week so that I could reiterate the growing job sectors anticipated for 2012-2020: Retail sales +70%, Home Health Care +69% and Registered Nurses +58%.  The financial services field and the information technology arena- not so rosy of a future.  In turn, does this mean that the unemployed population will be fighting for…

Spam. Never liked the stuff- be it in the can or out. Lately, I’ve been seeing more spam out of the can and in the pages of MyWorkButterfly.com.  If you are confused as to what “spam” is as it relates to our community- let me clarify:

1. If you are selling or directly promoting your business- that is spam.
2. If you…

I do hope that this past Martin Luther King Jr. Daygave you a much-needed long weekend with the family!  While it did offer me just that- MLK Jr. Day also gave me so much more…

On MLK Jr. Day, January 15, 2009, Butterfly was launched (so now we are officially three and in pre-school).  What began as a strong…

Happy 2012 to you and your families!  Let’s start off by getting a few clichés out of the way. I resolve to: eat healthier, or less, and to exercise seven days a week. I resolve to stay organized, spend more quality time with my children and to become a better cook.  But, what I really want to say is that, “I RESOLVE TO STOP BEING SO DAMN HARD ON MYSELF!!”…

While many are still occupying Wall Street (amongst other streets) in droves, I’ve decided to take a little action of my own.

Meet Amy Hudnael, Butterfly member, single mother of two, with a background in…

I have finally risen from my turkey-induced coma and was curious to know if anyone else ate oneself into oblivion? Nonetheless, it was a nice respite from work…that I am sure you will all agree.  I spent Thanksgiving Day, before our family feast, with my husband and kids at the Salvation Army.  The obvious notion was to show my…

Before October marks its end with a bevy of costumes and a sugar rush to boot, I urge you to consider hanging out with two unbelievably talented (and oh so cool) Butterfly moms, Danielle Monaro and Siggy Flicker:
