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.

A Peek Into the Life of a Working Mom: Almost Wordless Wednesday (Photos at Carnegie Science Center)

Disclosure: I was able to visit the museum, compliments of a media pass.

I've long appreciated that The Carnegie Science Center is a great community resource.  While I was on maternity leave I was able to visit there with my children. The visit reminded about why I like it so much!

One of the great exhibits at the Carnegie Science Center to teach the kids about science.

It's educational and fun!
The Carnegie Science Center is family friendly and looks out for breastfeeding moms. The Family Care Station on the first floor is great for nursing.  It was reasonably clean. However, if it's not and you have time to ask them, I'm sure they would clean it for you.  Since I had an infant and a toddler, I didn't have that type of time.
