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.

Summer Beach Life

Family at the beach, Destin, Fla.


Currently, I am enjoying my second get away of the summer. It's a girls' trip with me and my daughter. We're traveling to Puerto Rico to celebrate her Godfather's birthday. It's also a celebration of her in some respects.
She's accepted to the local performing arts school for dance. She was promoted to sixth grade. And, she's a great help with her brothers. 

We're really excited. So, contrary to the last post, we don't have to wait till we visit the Outerbanks to enjoy the beach. Don't know what I was thinking when I wrote that last post!
