One Secret to a Working Mom Success: Minimize Expenses

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: Making Summer Memories

In my mind, like Elvis, Spring has left the building and Summer is upon us. For me, Memorial Day marks the official start of summer, even though the calendar may disagree.

These are the ingredients for fun times and great memories. Here's to summer!!!
