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: New Shades (Almost Wordless Wednesday)

If you haven't noticed, my toddler is a bit of a diva. She wants anything with rhinestones, sequins, or sparkles. And she hasn't met a crown that she didn't like. Indeed, she wears one every day. And, if you call her princess, she won't correct you.
