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.

Twitter Tuesday!

on
On this dreary Tuesday knowing that there are other mothers our there sharing my struggling makes my day a little brighter.

Some of the women listed below bring levity to the Twittersphere and make me laugh. Some of the women below help to ground me when I am spiraling out of control because their world seems a little crazier than mine. And some of them make me feel like a complete slacker, even though I work, care for my toddler, my man and blog because they seem to do all that and more. In the interest of my sanity I seek balance. So, I have also listed some who make feel like a mommy rock star because they can’t cook, don’t manage to clean their house and don’t work! They even seem to look great doing it and manage to relax at the end of the day with a good glass of red wine. I realize that I may not be able do everything, but I think that I can really excel at the red wine part.

CHEERS!!!
