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.

Free Event: Pittsburgh Children's Festival

Come by Schenley Park for the Children's Festival. It's free and lots of fun for the kids.

Our daughter was singing and dancing and playing. That is until the meltdown... We can't blame the meltdown on the Children's Festival though. Her parents are to blame.

We took her out at nap time to attend the drum show. At first she was scared. The music was loud and the lights were flashing. I don't know what she was thinking, but she needed some time to process it. Once she got into the groove she started to feel it!

Let it be known. My daughter likes to move! The next thing we knew she had run up front and started dancing! She developed a fan base.

One woman came up to me and said, " she's found her calling!"

I think we may have a rising star on our hands, or at least a girl who likes to dance!

Make your way down soon. The festival ends tomorrow!

If you go, check out the Mirazozo exhibit. It's this peaceful light exhibit. It's a great experience, very Zen. We all enjoyed it. Be forewarned though. You have to take off your shoes before you enter the exhibit. I'll try to upload some photos soon! Mirazozo
