Broke-Ass Mom Birthday Wish
My birthday is coming up (no, it’s not my 1/2 birthday as this photo would indicate) and people keep asking me what I want. Apparently, I’m difficult to shop for – the problem is that all I want every year is for people whom I care about (and it’s a
Changing Careers as a Broke-Ass Mom
Can a Broke-Ass Mom change careers and be a SAHM? That’s what I’m trying to find out. As I stated in my intro to the Broke-Ass world, I traded in my high heels for some Keen sneakers, my stockings for yoga pants, and my purse for a backpack all to

Last week my son and I hitched a ride to NYC on the coat tails of my husband’s business trip. My husband and I debated for days over whether to bring a stroller and a baby carrier or just the carrier. We opted for just the baby carrier. The last
Making Decisions as a Broke-Ass Mom
Last week I received an interesting question that got me thinking: “In what world is a $500 stroller broke-ass?” Although it just so happens that a stroller is a lot cheaper than buying a car (the BOB is our car), and we also bought it used for $200 (in the
Just a Broke-Ass Mom and Her BOB
It was a typical Monday morning. My two-year-old son and I were on our way to the Safeway about a mile from our home with our BOB stroller. Thirty minutes and ninety dollars later we headed home with a gallon of milk, and three bags full of groceries. As I
