I guess it's a big one. I changed the name of my other blog to The City Mom - I'm really focusing on living, and raising kids, in the city. The "frugal living" stuff is just a bonus.

Walkability
I wrote recently about walking to get a bunch of errands done; I do it at least 3 times a week. Today it was CVS and the bank.
Today I found a link to a site that will tell you how "walkable" your neighborhood is. My address got an 89 (out of 100).
What's your walkability score?

Like a weed
Little man is growing up. Yesterday he started pushing up a bit, mostly like he was doing a push up. Today he really started getting his knees underneath. It's amazing how fast it goes.

My social butterfly is always always always happy if someone's holding him but hasn't much cared for being left on the nice, clean, plush carpet surrounded by his toys. Now that he's starting to be able to move around a bit, things are changing for the better. Today he spent at least a half hour on the floor spinning around on his belly and checking each toy out in turn. I guess that's the benefit of having no short-term memory, hell he probably has no long-term memory either - on each rotation when he came to the next toy it was totally brand new to him. Even though he'd just played with it moments before. Works for me.

Blooming
Massive growth.
So the Burpee order that I canceled? They refunded me, but shipped it anyway. It arrives today with a whole load of tomato seedlings inside. I'll inventory it when it comes in and figure out what the heck to do with all of these new babies! I'm excited, but I need more planters and soil (and space!).
Hmmmm...

CVS May wrapup
Went to CVS yesterday to get the rest of the Free After ECB items on Stewart's account.
I haven't added up the merchandise worth, but to get all of this (including toothpaste for Nate which we just needed), CVS paid me $11.70
Those days are passing, since my $5 / 15 coupons are now officially expired. It's sort of fun to look forward to figuring out new good deals in the coming days!

Meal plan - week of June 2
It's gotten hot here, so I think it's time to work some cooler meals into the mix. Tonight we'll have the Tofu Parmigiana - I prepped the tofu yesterday but we ended up going out for BBQ and eating our weight in ribs. Leftovers for lunch today Yum.
So, in no particular order, our dinners for this week:
* Shrimp summer rolls (Stewart loves these) I do my own version with shrimp, chives, cilantro, and a peanut dipping sauce. They're a little complicated to make, so it'll definitely be a "after the kids are in bed" dinner
* Soba Salad with Tofu
* Roasted Corn, Black Bean, and Mango Salad
I think we'll have leftovers from at least one of those meals, plus the nice weather is encouraging us to eat out in our local restaurants. I'll just plan those 3 dinners and play the rest of them by ear.
