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.

Friday Tip: Stay Tuned for Product Reviews

As you know I attended my first blogging conference, BlogHer’12, in August.  One of my goals in attending the conference was to develop relationships with PR companies and manufacturers so that I could become a brand ambassador.  I haven’t risen up the ranks of the highly sought after bloggers yet. I haven’t received a free trip to Disney World. And I haven’t had my face on a bill board in Times Square (yet).

I have made great contacts, gotten some cool invitations to events, and scored some swag. I have also been fortunate to get some products sent to me to review.

I will not transform Chaton’s World in to a “review blog”, mainly because I like writing too much and believe that other women can learn from my tales about the challenges I experience in balancing my life. And even if they don't actually learn anything, they may just get a good laugh!

However, occasionally, I will review products that I like.  Trust me, if I don’t like it I’ll let you know or I simply won’t write about it.

Stay tuned for my review of some cool products by Johnson and Johnson!
