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.

A wonderful trip to San Juan...


I recently returned from the most beautiful vacation in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The island is amazing. The sights, sounds, and smell of the island transported me to a more peaceful place. Me encanta!

The sun is bright. The beaches are full of white sand. And, the sky is majestic. I enjoyed the kind of vacation that makes you want to remain in paradise forever.

My enjoyment outweighed all of the sand bites that populate my body like a game of connect the dots. I am very aware that the minor annoyance of itchiness could have been the pain of a jelly fish sting that some other hotel guests encountered.

Quite frankly, the fun has overshadowed the minor inconveniences that come with travel. Instead, my mind is full of those things that make me smile. Here’s looking forward to my next vacation…
