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: Enjoying the last days of summer

on
Sibling love, albeit momentarily...
Last weekend was the last one before the school year started. So, it was the last few days of summer. We celebrated by having ice cream, attending church, attending an event at Heinz Field for the Steelers' game, getting our photos taken at "the Picture People" (thanks, Living Social!) and going swimming. My daughter also had the last day of her reading program! 

In a word, it was a jam packed weekend and we had a ball. Enjoy the photos!


A "Steelers Girl" at Heinz Field  
Watching her grow up has been a real treat. She's becoming stronger and more confident. I took this photo because she was proud that she had propped herself up on this barrier. She can lift her own weight, which is impressive. Those gymnastics lessons are paying off!

He insisted on getting in this canoe. We didn't even use it for our photos! Here's a link to a coupon for discount photos at "The Picture People" (Click here).
Enjoying the pool at her grandparents. She's one happy girl!
To say my daughter LOVES to swim is an understatement. She's like a little fish. She really took to her lessons and enjoys impressing all of us with her new found skills.
