Just a few off the top of my head...

Donate blood, make and sell craft items, any extra "junk" around the house or any clothes that don't fit you/baby can be sold on Craigslist.com, offer to babysit on the weekends, and maybe pet-sit.

Hope some of these ideas will help!

Just remember that if something sounds to good to be true.....RUN.

Also, don't invest money in something that you think will make you money.

You say you are a graphic designer...how about using that in some way independently. Maybe someone needs a designer like yourself but wants to save money from using a larger corporation.

A good babysitter is hard to find...maybe you have some neighbors who might need your assistance.

Get on a product research panel. I've done focus groups and been paid as much as $250 (cash) for a 2 hr session. That is a little out of the norm...most sessions pay anywhere from $60+. It is one of those things you can't so a lot because companies don't want career focus group candidates on their panels. You can usually do one or 2 a year, depending on what the company request.

Hang in there and good luck.

I agree with TF, since you are a graphic designer, look for some freelance work, there are plenty of companies that would pay you good money for special projects. This might mean some late nights and maybe having to work weekends to get things done. Being a single mom is not easy, and I commend you for it. Good luck! hope you find something that really works for you!
