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.

And the winner is... (Giveaway Results)

on
The giveaway promotion with "East End Eden" was a tremendous opportunity for me as a blogger. Some bloggers giveaway things all of the time, but this was my first foray into the giveaway space. It is true what they say, giveaways increase your blog traffic lie no other. I think that it's because the only thing that Americans like better than Reality TV is free stuff.

I decided to take the plunge for the reason that most bloggers succumb to the lure. I wanted to increase my blog traffic. However, based on my conversations with my readers they are overworked and could use a break from it all.  So, I was thrilled that Emily Escalante decided to give one of my readers the opportunity to win a free massage.  Also, I LOVE "East End Eden" and thought that it was super cool that I could run such a great promotion.

The winner is: Kristie Bowman!!!

Thanks to everyone who entered the contest, including fellow mommy blogger, Rachel Blaufeld. With the help of Andre, I selected a winner. Kristie Bowman wrote a compelling piece about her husband who makes breakfast, helps with the kids and nursed her back to health after she had cancer a double mastectomy. Kristie and her family have endured so much and it sounds like her husband has been their rock. Based on what she has been through Kristie could have entered on her own behalf. However, she nominated her husband because of what he has meant to her and her family. Her husband, Jimmy, sounds like a great man and one who is deserving to win.

Let's all celebrate Jimmy and pray for Kristie's continued recovery.
