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: Summer Adventures in Pittsburgh

on
Our daughter at PPG Center, Pittsburgh, Pa.

I just LOVE this photo because it truly captures the fun that is possible in Pittsburgh in the summertime!

Indeed, Pittsburgh is a great place to be in the summertime. Because the weather can be crappy, a lot, Pittsburghers seem to enjoy nice days as much or more than folks in other parts of the country. Also, the city really embraces summer. There are countless fountains for kids to run through like the one above. There are also free outdoor events that encourage a sense of community and an appreciation of the outdoors. If you're interested in learning more about upcoming events like some free concerts that are coming up, click here. There are also several concert series in and around Pittsburgh which make summer a great time to party in Pittsburgh, for free! (For a link to the schedule, click here.)

How do you enjoy summer in your town?!
