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.

Endless summer...


God and I are on the same side. He has granted Pittsburgh more days of sunshine than we have had in quite some time. We have warm days, humidity, and all of the other elements of summer.


While Al Roker said that summer ended yesterday, I remain steadfast in my belief that summer remains. Tomorrow, I shall run, drink wine outside, and hang out with my friends. I shall pretend that the calendar is a liar and that I have at least a full month left with my new boyfriend, Summer.

Personally, I don't see my self deception as a problem or unique. Isn't that the foundation of most romances? :-)
