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.

A Peek Into the Life of a Working Mom: Why I Love Saturday Morning

True confessions, I have not been faithful to getting up at 5:30AM. Doing that was a really tough grind, especially since I usually go to bed at 11 or 12. Still, I think that my thoughts about rising early have influenced my sleeping patterns. I usually get up at 6:30AM without prompting, which is much better than I used to do before I attended Spark and Hustle last year and met all of those women who get up at 4:30 AM.
 
I admire those women. I am in awe of those women. And I am more than a little intimidated by those women...
 
My early rising carries over to the weekend. And has led to Saturday mornings being my favorite time of the week.  I prepared a video to tell you all about it. Check it out! (By the way, don't judge my appearance too harshly. I made the video right after a run!)
