One mommy blogger who once made enough to support three people and pay for an assistant has now all but moved on[.] And: I know I've said this before — just a few days ago in fact — but without my own Patreon campaign I couldn't even keep this site running. For some insane reason, I live in NYC, where working two jobs 14 hours a day to pay for a room in an apartment with three other people living in it is pretty common. A 260-sq. foot apartment built from Legos in the middle of a park full of homeless people across the street from a mental hospital rents for $2000 a month here. (This is a block from Stately Beat Manor, BTW.)
