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.

Halloween ain't just for kids!

on
Sometimes you need a reminder that things don't have to be serious all of the time.

This past Friday night I attended a Halloween costume party. Costumes and positive attiudes were both required.

I attended as "Go Go Cat", a newly invented superhero. It's amazing how creative one can become with a wig, a mask, and a pair of gold tights! :-) While Go Go Cat's specific special powers have yet to be identified, she has been known to conquer the dance floor in a single bound!

Others relied on more identifiable and well known celebrities, characters, and in some case, insects. As you can see from the photo, we had the big bad wolf and a beautiful bee. We also were visited by Shaquille O'Neal, Julius Caesar, and Cat Woman, just to name a few.

To top off the party there was crunk music and witches brew. All in all, it was a good time. It reminded me that even though we're not in college anymore, we can still kick it!

That party was the bessssstttt Halloween costume party EVER!!!! I have never seen a gathering with such boo-tiful people inside and out, ful of positive energy, laughs, fun, and not to mention "goulish" food. Perfect. I agree, live shouldn't be taken so seriously and Halloween is no longer for the kiddies. It should be an annual event. "Go Go Cat" was adorable too. Keep that mask - it might have nine lives! LOL
