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: A Girls' Trip

Me and the Dallas crew

Last weekend my daughter and I took a girls' trip. No boys were allowed. So, we left daddy and the baby at home in pursuit of fun and fellowship with her god mother and god sisters in Dallas, Texas. Our trip had some twists and turns. We left a day later, spent night at the airport Hyatt and a toilet was clogged. (Intentional use of the passive voice to protect the culprit! :-))  Ah adventures... 



Enjoying ice cream
I love my time with my entire family, but this girls' trip was truly special. Seeing my daughter enjoy her extended family, seeing them embrace her, and feeling the love shared by all was an awesome experience. Still smiling...

Flying is humbling and always makes me count my blessings!
