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 Mommy Blogger: Being Profiled in Mommy Noire Magazine

As I mentioned recently, one of the things that I love about being a mommy blogger is the love and support that I have received from other bloggers. Blogging seems to attract moms who are generous and interested in forging a virtual community. Some of my blogging relationships have even turned into friendships.
 

Check me out in Mommy Noire Magazine

 
One such friend is Heather Hopson from "Diary of a First Time Mom". As I recently mentioned, Heather recently hosted a lunch and learn with The Motherhood that was a great event. Also, it turns out she included me in a recent post she wrote for "Mommy Noire Magazine" entitled, "11 Mom Bloggers You Should Bookmark"      http://mommynoire.com/36468/best-black-mom-blogs/4/.  Being included in this post was a pleasant surprise and immediately increased my number of page views! Also, I was happy to learn that reading my blog had been helpful to Heather while she was pregnant.
 
Thanks Heather!!!
