One Secret to Success for a Working Mom, Expand Your Village (Jack and Jill of America)

Jack and Jill of America member and her daughter Recently, I have become keenly aware that good kids are created by accident. They become good because someone made a concerted effort to pour positive things into them--things like, honor, discipline and respect for others. These qualities are taught through lessons and by observation. For that reason, I have been actively considering how to give my children more examples of people who embody those qualities.  Indeed, raising my children to become good people is my most important job.

Friday Tip: Know Your Worth (Free Financial Advice)

I may have found my prince charming, but I still take responsibility for creating my own wealth and managing my own money. It may be because my dad was a banker. It may be because my mother was adamant that her girls be independent.  It may be because my grandparents all preached that we should be smart with money.  Or it could be, that as a career woman, an economics major and control freak that I need to be in charge! 

Regardless, I take my money very seriously.


Also, as a mother, I view providing for my daughter's financial security as much my duty as providing her with breast milk. It will take a village to raise her and it will take a boatload of cash and love to provide for her.  Still, even with my good intentions, sometimes I get so busy that managing my money takes a backseat to caring for my daughter, working, and ironically spending my money.

Isn't that a great site? I happened to meet Amanda, the founder, several years ago at the Pennsylvania Governor's Conference for Women and she was so dynamic and so incredibly NICE. Love her tips and her advice!
