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: The Elf on the Shelf


This month our elf has been on the shelf, on the bar (guess she got thirsty), and all over the house.  As the story goes, the elf moves every night because she travels to the North Pole. And she does, except that one time she stayed in the same place for two days because she was "meditating".


In any event our elf makes us all behave better. The kids are trying to impress her and we're trying desperately to not let down the kids!



BTW-I preferred the plush elf, which is why we use this one.
