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.

The COVID19 Love Train!

This period of sheltering in place has resulted in some of us spending time with our favorite people. However, other spending time with folks they don't like very much. And others are simply alone, lacking direct human touch and interaction. And while there are certain blessings to each situation, and we are, "maintaining", this situation is less than desirable for everyone.

One of the things that has made the situation more bearable are the virtual dance parties some DJ's are throwing. Even though I am not a DJ, I thought I'd share this song, an oldie but goodie, that reminds us that we are all in this together.

Sending love your way!!!
