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.

Just Another Manic Monday...

on
It's Monday morning! I'm actually really not manic, but the 80's song did make for a good title of this post.

I have great hopes for this week even though it is turning colder. We have had summer-like weather for weeks. It's a little disappointing now that the temperature seems to be getting more seasonal.  I'mtrying to just be thankful for the sunshine we've enjoyed instead of lamenting its loss. After all, I do live in Pittsburgh. I really shouldn't have high hopes about the weather anyway!

Yesterday we had Sunday dinner with my mother and brother, which was great. I have really come to value these dinners. It's great seeing how my daughter gets to know my family.  These little things really do mean so much.

Monday represents the beginning of the workweek. I vow not to simply wish the week away longing for the weekend.  Instead, I will focus on what I have to accomplish and on the blessings that I have. I'm also focus on planning our vacation!

Have a great week!
