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.

Let's Hear it for the Daddies (Happy Father's Day!)



A Daddy and his baby 


Reading all of the Facebook tributes to fathers got me thinking about the men in my life who have stepped up and showed out--showing other fathers how it's done. Any man with sperm can "donate" sperm to make a baby. However, only those with courage demonstrate the love and support that goes along with being a father.  So, I salute all of those guys who took the road most traveled, but fraught with turns and bends in the undergrowth.


Those men make their kids feel loved. And they do the job every single day. 


I love reposting a poem from a prior Father's Day that I wrote because it captures my feelings about fathers. Fathers help make the world go 'round and make all of the babies feel loved and discover their potential. Let's hear it for the daddies!!!
