One Secret to a Working Mom Success: Minimize Expenses

on
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 - Working Through The Pain

"I'm just one stomach flu away from my goal weight." -Emily, "The Devil Wears Prada"

I haven't been on a diet, but I was struck with a stomach bug around noon. Wouldn't you know I also had mandatory training today that started at 1:00 PM? Needless to say it was an uncomfortable three hours, which ended with me throwing up in a parking lot attracting the interest of strangers.


Yes, that happened.

Whatever I have is still running it's course. So, I feel terrible. There's one bright spot today, other than my family. I received these flowers at an event today--another centerpiece.  This time they let me keep the vase too!

Being sick sucks, but these flowers make it a little better.
