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.

Beach trips make summer more special!

Going to the beach is one of our favorite things to do during the summer. And although we prefer the ocean, any beach will do. Last summer, because of concerns about COVID19, we only made it to Presque Isle State Park in Erie, Pennsylvania. Still, because we had been locked up all year and the waves were high, we got our fix and it held us over till this summer.

This summer, we have a family trip planned to the Outer Banks of North Carolina where we plan to fellowship, play in the sand, and yes enjoy the ocean. Until then, these beach time memories will have to keep us going!

This our first time visiting Outerbanks. I lived in North Carolina and never made it previously. So, I'm excited. I've also organized this trip for nearly my entire family and the expectations are high. So, please help me look good! If you've been to the Outer Banks, let me know what you love about it. This is going to be our first time visiting there!
