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.

A Peek Into the Life of a Blogging Mom: Saturday

on
Like most working moms I cherish my weekends. This weekend is no different. Well, it is slightly different... Being the dutiful son that he is and a lover if home improvement projects, Andre has committed to redoing his parents front steps. Apparently, there will be crushing the original steps with a sledgehammer, pouring concrete, and creating new steps. I am certain it's more complicated than that, but as you can see, it's a lot of work!

So, what's a blogging mom to do?!

I have to identify activities for me and baby to occupy our time. I also have to figure out how to do the housework alone, unless I go on strike... Hmm... That does have some appeal.

While I contemplate pulling a Norma Ray, I'm going to take the baby to community day at the Carnegie Library in Oakland. I'm actually typing this piece on my iPad as I wait for her to wake up from her brief nap. Let's hope we enjoy our library visit. Guess what?! She's up now. So, we're going in. I'll keep you posted!
