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.

Top Entertaining Tip for Working Moms (When Social Media Ain't Enough)

on



As I mentioned recently, sometimes I crave in person socializing. Sometimes I do it at events, bars or restaurants. However, there are other times when I like to entertain the good old fashioned way.  I like to have people at my house. 

When I was single, my parties used to be kind of like those thrown by Holly Golightly in "Breakfast at Tiffany's". I've always liked that movie and Audrey Hepburn exhibited such great style! However, I actually cooked food for my guests. I come from Southern grandmothers and when we invite people over we feed them!

Now, I entertain on a much smaller scale.  I would love to feed people a grand meal or fancy hors d'oeuvres every time I have company. However, if I waited until I had that kind of time my daughter would be in college...  Still, I like for people to feel welcome and I like for them to feel like I made an effort to entertain them.  Although my food may be sushi and snacks from Trader Joes' my beverages are homemade.

Indeed, great drinks are how this working mom entertains like Martha Stewart.  My tips can be found through this link:   Lemonade: The Working Mom’s Key to Entertaining Like Martha Stewart
