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.

Diane Mizota and Chaton Turner chat at the BlogHer'12 Conference (#BlogHer)

I finally figured out how to get the interview I made with Diane Mizota, VP of Pop Culture at "Pop Chips" at the BlogHer'12 conference off of my iPad and onto YouTube . I am rather embarassed that it took me a month to figure out how to do it, I decided to do what I planned and post it.
Have patience with me. I did the interview in a restaurant at the New York Hilton so there's a lot of background noise.  For my next interview I'll be more sensitive to that. Still, even with the background noise I think that it's a good interview.

Diane is a delight.  I really hope to collaborate with her in the future. (Diane, can you hear me?!) I met her through Rachel Blaufeld from "Backngroovemom" who has is a major "connector" ala Malcolm Gladwell's The Tipping Point. She seems to know everyone and has been kind enough to to introduce me people in her network. Thanks Rachel!
Enjoy the video!
