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.

Working Mom Tip: Save at The Pittsburgh Children's Museum!!! (#PGHKIDS)

We have a membership to the Children's Museum and it more than pays for itself. Indeed, it is among the best money that I have ever spent.  In exchange for the cost of the membership my daughter has made countless memories and experienced a million smiles!
 

The Magic of the Children's Museum

 
The management plans carefully to implement programming that educates and engages children. My daughter goes there several days a week and LOVES it! Recently they created a Clifford, the Big Red Dog exhibit. Among other things the exhibit has Clifford himself, live and in color. Nothing makes a kid happier than a big red cartoon character live and in person. As you can see from my daughter's face below, she is smitten by Clifford (perhaps less so with the camera though... :-))
