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: Almost Wordless Wednesday (Mornings)

Every morning is a struggle in our house.  Some people have an internal clock that wakes them up early with a smile.  Nobody in my house got that gene, except for maybe the baby.  If he's going to survive here though, he's going to have to change...

I have adjusted like most moms do to getting up earlier than my internal clock would like.  If I didn't get up early, I'd never get everything done. I'd also never have time to myself.  Because I'm often up with the baby alone, I am able to create some funny shots.  Here's one of them.

Enjoy!
