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.

A Wonderful Sunday at The Pittsburgh Children's Museum

On Sunday, we thought about attending church. However, Andre had been up during the night sick from food poisoning or something. So, we got up around 6 and stayed up. My normal Sunday wake time is 7:30 AM. So, today was a change. Despite his sickness, he went over to his parents’ house to do a home improvement project… So, the toddler and I were left to fend for ourselves. We occupied ourselves with iPad apps, games and stories. Although we miss him, life can be a lot of fun when daddy is otherwise occupied.

After our stimulating morning the toddler and I went to the Pittsburgh Children’s Museum with my mother, affectionately known as GG.

Since we live really close to the museum, going there isn’t a big deal. However, today was different. There was a celebration for the Chinese New Year and GG was with us so today was special.  Everyone must have thought it was a special museum day because mommies, grand mommies and kids were dressed to the nines. Everywhere I looked I saw Louis Vuitton bags, Hunter wellies and Burberry scarves. It was as if I had died and went to designer heaven. I wish that I had known that it was dress up day at the museum. I would have stepped it up a bit! J

Of course, the toddler was cute as the dickens. Also, we had fun. That’s all that matters!
