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
Tonight President Obama delivered the State of the Union.  Regardless of your political affiliation you have to be proud that we live in a country where the president can address both houses and express his vision of America.  And, if you are proud to live in America you should be proud that we all have an opportunity to listen to him safely.  It may be a stretch, but listening to the State of the Union made me proud that the Constitution protects my first amendment right to Tweet.  I am not sure if that’s what the founding fathers had in mind, but I’m not one to let a privilege go to waste.

Below is a list of women who are exercising their free speech rights on Twitter as well.  Where else but America could Jennifer Marshall proudly call herself @nuckingfutsmama?  I love her wit and her humor. I wish that I had thought of that name! I have found other women who are committed to helping us become more organized, live happier and healthier lives, and achieve balance. Another mom admits that her children actually rule the roost.  Ain’t that the truth!

Finally, I would like to recognize @SJM_CookiesMom who helped me finally cross the 800 Twitter follower mark.  She is a wonderful an example of moms helping moms!

Great points! Who knew 200 some years ago that the country's future would include things like the Internet, Twitter, blogs, Pinterest.... I can't even imagine it without our First Amendment rights.

On a sidenote, my friend recently moved to DC and she said all of the preparation yesterday before the State of the Union Address was incredibly exciting!
