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.

See Santa Claus and Skip the Lines at the National Aviary!

As you know I am a fan of the National Aviary.  I love it even more because they are having Santa come every Saturday until December 22nd.  It's a great way for your child to sit on Santa's lap and for you to skip those horrid lines at the mall!

Details for Seeing Santa at the National Aviary

Kids can visit with the St. Nick each Saturday in December until December 22 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. as part of their regular admission.  Children can relay their favorite holiday gift choices to Santa, along with one of the Aviary’s 16 African Penguins.
Bring your camera and capture a remembrance of this great holiday experience.

About the National Aviary

The National Aviary is a Pittsburgh treasure and is America’s only independent indoor nonprofit zoo dedicated exclusively to birds. It is located in West Park on Pittsburgh’s historic North Side and has a diverse collection of birds.  It is a great place to escape the cold and enjoy a tropical day with your children. It can also be a great place for a date!
