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.

How a Working Mom Failed Picture day (#PictureDay)

on
A picture day from preschool when I had my act together

There was a time when I only had one child and she attended preschool across the street from our home that I had a pristine calendar that I followed. That included noting that picture day was coming up, preparing for it and even going to the school to participate in it.

Well this year, I slipped.

That Time I Forgot Picture Day


I forgot that our son’s picture day was on September 18th. So, he attended school in a t-shirt, in need of a haircut. However, he was of course wearing his ever-present smile. We’ll see how that turns out.

For my daughter’s picture day, I remember to dress her appropriately. I did her hair. She was able to wear it out as opposed to in a ponytail and her face was washed and lip balm was applied! Still, I failed. Why? I forgot to send money for the photos! Oh well, I can take solace in the fact that she will look darn good in the class photo!
