One Secret to a Working Mom Success: Minimize Expenses

on
Following Instagram posts can make you feel like other moms are either made of money or have sugar daddies funding their lifestyles. I can assure you. I have neither. There is nobody funneling money into my household except for me. And because I was an economics major and my dad was a banker, I am keenly aware of cash flow, assets and liabilities, and expenditures. Still, sometimes, I forget how expensive life can be. It's not because I lied about having a sugar daddy or have a trust fund.  It is because I am frugal. Indeed, being conscious of expenditures is integrated into my lifestyle.  I know that it is gauche to discuss money and yet, I feel compelled to share some thoughts.

Wonderful Wednesday: Save Big at Brookstone!

on
I bought an iPad on Black Friday and since then I have been a bit obsessed with electronics.  I have never been an "techie". However, buying my  iPad has made me a believer.  It has added so much to my life. I haven't been this excited since my parents got cable TV when I was 16! (Back then, that was a big deal since they didn't let me go anywhere and nobody had the internet at home.)
Although my iPad has changed my life, I want more electronics.  In particular I am amazed at how cool my toddler finds all things that light up and make noise.  She likes the "adult toys" more than I do and definitely more than her baby toys.  Perhaps she'll become an engineer???
Anyway, I was thrilled when I found out that Brookstone is having a sale. If you need anything you should check it out. Look below for details on how to save big!

I'm not someone who needs the latest gizmo, but I've gotta say, having an iPhone has truly rocked my world.

I dropped by from #commenthour on Twitter. Nice to meet you! :)

I tend to be the one dragging and screaming into new technology. I do like my laptop but I really like to keep things simple.

In regards to keeping your house clean, I do 30 mins online and 10 offline. It works for me. You can read more about it on Mental Mosaic's blog or mine.

Peace,
Morgan

Except for laptop I have no technology. I mean, I have radios and cassette players but nothing that starts with an I-.

Housecleaning is always a challenge. Since my spouse is working on her writing I vacuum a lot and do kitchen work. I clean the bathrooms but space it out so I only do 20 minutes at a time.
