About JFM

This site has been designed to make it possible for all moms and women, if they choose, explore the opportunity of working from home, build a business, feel self gratified and take care of their children while contributing to the family budget. As a mother of 2 boys and a new baby girl, I also realize the importance of taking care of myself first. In order to nurture the people you love, you must first nurture yourself. Learn how to pamper you. Take a few minutes that are only for you and feel good about it.

I value the importance of being home with my children, because I was raised with my mom at home. I grew up in a suburb of Rochester, NY and have a brother and a sister with whom I am very close. We were fortunate that our mom made the choice to stay at home and I valued the experience enough that I chose to do the same for my children, but I also realize that today, it is almost impossible to make it on one income.

My goal with JustForMom is to touch women’s lives when they need it most. Whether you are a married woman with children who is searching for a creative outlet; a single mom who needs support and encouragement; a woman who has lost a loved one and is looking for some camaraderie; or you are just plain tired of the rat race; we are here to help you grow that special spot in your life that you may not know exists. It is our goal to be a support system for the woman who needs it most-mom; and together with many amazing women we are going to make it possible for women to find refuge for themselves and build a business from home with helpful tools to guide them. We welcome any woman who wants to share in the growth of this exciting adventure. Our goal is to "Touch Each Mom’s Life, One Mom at a Time."

Warm Regards and many blessings,
Tara Paterson
