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.

Wordless Wednesday (not really)...

I don't believe an accident of birth makes people sisters or brothers. It makes them siblings, gives them mutuality of parentage. Sisterhood and brotherhood is a condition people have to work at. -- Maya Angelou

During this holiest of all weeks I am incredibly grateful for my sister, Jeryn. She is my best friend in the world. Those who know us well know that we call ourselves Tbecause we are more powerful together!

She goes out of her way to be there for me and for my family. She is kind, generous and thoughtful. I would not be the person that I am without her love and support. She thinks so highly of me that she makes me a better person.

She is traveling to Pittsburgh tomorrow to spend her Easter holiday with us even though she was just here for the baby's birthday two weeks ago. That's just one example of her selflessness. Below is my favorite photo of us. Enjoy!
