One Secret to a Working Mom Success: Minimize Expenses

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.

Let's Make it Happen This Monday Morning!

Sunday was a great day. It was sunny and bright in Pittsburgh. Andre had the great idea to capitalize on the great day by hosting a cook out for our family and friends.

After realizing that nobody was there to babysit her or kidnap her the baby warmed up to the guests and settled in next to Andre's brother's girlfriend who ingratiated her with chips.  For you concerned moms out there, my baby eats a well balanced diet. However, on occasion, I allow her to eat a few chips broken into bite sized pieces.  She loved the company and the chips!

Now I am off to work with high hopes for the day.

Wish me luck!
