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.

Musings about Monday

Monday was a great day albeit a chilly one. After working a full day I returned home and scooped up the baby. She and I went shopping for a few clothes.

Moms, if you haven't discovered the Baby Depot Burlington Coat Factory, stop reading this blog and go! Burlington consistently has good quality, low cost, baby clothes. They carry the Carter's brand, which produces such quality things. They also carry supplies. You can get nursing supplies, laundry detergent and even cribs.  Whatever you need they've got it and generally much cheaper than other places, even the online outlets.  I  generally do a decent amount of online shopping because you can't beat the convenience. However, last night I made it out to a real store!

We also made it to Five Below where I was able to score some Easter supplies. I found cute cards and some favors that I tend to distribute at the National Aviary Breakfast with the Easter Bunny event this Saturday.  Since I'll be around so many moms, I might as well promote the blog, don't you think?!
