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 Peek Into the Life of a Working Mom: The UPMC Children's Ball

on
This weekend we got to have family time. And family time is always good!

Anybody who has kids understands that it is important to keep them stimulated. One way to do that is find out about interesting events going on and attend those that make sense. In the past twelve months we've gone to the circus, to see "Yo Gabba Gabba Get the Sillies Out" and to a Chinese New Year celebration to name a few.

This past weekend, we attended The UPMC Children's Ball at the Carnegie Science Center and it was a night perfect for adults and children. We arrived and walked on a red carpet, which seemed fitting given that we like to say that we're raising our daughter, "Hollywood style" in Pittsburgh.

The Carnegie Science Center is a great place to have a party!


They had great food. There was a carving station with Prime rib and turkey, salad and French fries and chicken fingers. And how many balls can you attend where they have peanut butter and jelly?!

As you can see from the photos below we partied hard. Perhaps we are rock stars after all...

Moving and rocking we're never stopping! (See our little bass player in the corner.)
