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.

Thoughts of Thanksgiving...

on

Thanksgiving is a special time. It involves family traditions of eating tasty food and coming together. Last year, my dear friend and her girls joined us from Texas. We showed them a Pittsburgh good time. I've included a photo of us (minus their mom who was napping) from Market Square with Santa.


Indeed, Market Square and the People's Holiday Market is one of my favorite Pittsburgh traditions. It is decorated like a European market and there are treats and sites to see. My sister and I took the girls on a walk through downtown and we even went up to Mount Washington to give them the best view of the city. Of course, they had to take the incline, which they thoroughly enjoyed.

As usual, Thanksgiving dinner included our family and other dear friends--all twenty plus of us. And we had all of our family favorites, mostly cooked by my mom. As the years go on, I am ever grateful to have her in my life healthy and sound. So, on this Thanksgiving eve, I have a grateful heart.  I am reflecting on Thanksgivings past and I am looking forward to tomorrow. 

HAVE A HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
