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: Back to School (#BackToSchool)

First day of school #BackToSchool

If you haven't heard, Back to School season is on and popping! For working moms, it is both the answer to our prayers and the cause of our problems. We know where our kids will be everyday all day without all of that camp planning. However, there are more activities and things to coordinate. So, it's a mixed bag.

What there is no conflict about is the cuteness and fun that is associated with the photos from the first few days. In these days, school is still a novelty, morning fights are fewer, and smiles are plentiful. Here are some moments that I captured.

Enjoy!
