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.

Wordless Wednesday: The Beauty of Flower #PGHGoesRed

on
Nothing beats Free Flowers




Last Friday I was honored to attend the Pittsburgh Go Red for Women Luncheon. It is a great event for a great cause. Heart disease is the leading cause of death for women in the United States. It kills nearly half a million women each year at the rate of about one per minute.  For that reason, fundraisers like the Go Red for Women Luncheon matter.  

Because of the nature of my work, I am pulled into a lot of matters unexpectedly. One of those matters pulled me out of the Go Red for Women Luncheon. I missed the majority of the event,
including the keynote speaker, Muriel Hemingway. Indeed, I was not done with my call until they had cleared the tables. I was disappointed because I had planned on attending and because I missed the awesome looking dessert, which was angel food cake topped with chocolate sauce and berries. It was a treat I would have enjoyed!

Before I could feel sorry for myself, someone offered me a couple of the centerpieces. The flowers in the above photo were in there. Just like that, I felt better!
