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.

I love Halloween because its the only time I get to sort through my kids bags and take out all the chocolate candy for myself and my husband. My kids don't like chocolate so mom and dad are stuck with all the Reese's, Almond Joys, Baby Ruth, Whoppers and such. I also love watching my kids get excited about their costumes and taking photos to send to all my family and friends. I also look forward to the kids marching around the house well into November with their costumes on. Fall is also my favorite time of year. Seeing the changing leaves on the trees is soothing to the soul.
