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: Yet another purse surprise...

@Work
Like all working moms I occasionally feel guilty about being away from there. The good things for me is that my kids are always with me...


I don't know whether the kids are secretly planting toys in my purse so that I am entertained. However, I keep getting pleasantly surprised by what I find in there. this morning I found a toy cell phone that was in my purse. 

The baby loves playing with this thing. So, I better be sure to put it back in my purse after taking this selfie or there will be hell to pay!!!

(The other thing is, it rings. I really hope it doesn't ring in a meeting!!! #WorkingMomProblems)
