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.

Wednesday Words of Wisdom: Networking is the Key to Success

This week I am attending a conference called, "Corporate Counsel Women of Color". It is a tremendous opportunity to network with colleagues from all over the country. As an in-house lawyer who lives in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, this conference means the world to me.  Pittsburgh is a great town, but it is not the most diverse. This conference lets me network with the best and brightest lawyers, gain career tips and have a great time.

Also, these women are all potential blog readers!

Once I have a chance, I'll write about the challenges I had getting out of the house for this conference. Until then, visit the link below for my tips about networking.
