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.

Memories from a summer gone by...

Mom and two kids in a field
These photographs are from a summer several years ago when I was a mom of two and believed I had a lot of things all figured out. Time has both humbled me and blessed me with a third child. 
I came across these photos of me and my first two babies recently. They were taken in Somerset, Pa. I thought I'd share!
