Single mums

Over the years I have come to know a few single mums.  It seems that it is often quite a shock for a lot of them to end up in this situation.  Financially it can be really tough, and many have not worked in paid employment for a long time.  One of my goals in starting up Ulysses Blue, was to give opportunity for people like single mums an easy avenue to make a bit of extra money, through creating things and selling them online.  I know this is not something that everyone would be able to do, as you need to have a bit of creativity and skill, but for some it would work.
I have been a stay at home mum for the last 15years.  It is important to me to be available to our children as much as possible.  I think this applies to most mums, whether they are stay at home mums or working mums.  But those who can find work that fits in with school hours are blessed.  Personally, I don't know how I would cope with the pressure of working outside the home and housework, cooking dinner, dealing with issues the children have, homework, sporting activities etc...  Anyway, I am blessed to be able to not have to worry about that at the moment, due to my husband having a good job.  If I was a single mum though, the choices get a lot more limiting. 
I hope that through Ulysses Blue we can help ease the pressure off some people who are financially struggling, just by giving them another avenue in which to sell things that they make.
