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.

Wordless Wednesday: A Visit to The National Museum of Play

As a working mom, I appreciate fun-filled weekends A LOT! Last weekend, I visited my hometown of Rochester, New York. While there, my mom made sure that we stopped by the Strong Museum, otherwise known as "The National Museum of Play". I am so glad she did. It totally rocks!

The National Museum of Play had so many great fun things for kids. It had a dance room replete with a strobe light that my we all rocked out too, especially the baby. It had a pretend Wegmans Food and Pharmacy with little shopping carts and faux food. It also has a replica of the stoop portrayed on Sesame Street. As a girl raised on Big Bird, Oscar the Grouch, and the Count, I was impressed and had to try it out. So, below is a photo of my sister, my daughter and I just chillin' on Sesame Street...

If you haven't taken your kids to The National Museum of Play, I highly recommend making a trip to Rochester.

I found out how to get to Sesame Street...
