She says "Don't ditch your kid with a babysitter....make your day of love about the one you love, your child"

2. Enjoy the company of your girlfriends

Of course the first thought on your mind when you are single is to get a bunch of your other single girlfriends together and go out right? Well yeah! Best idea is to surround yourself with people who truly love you and want to share in some fun with friends.
