My May in Review.

From the City...

What happened this month:

-Simon and his band left for tour and it has been Theo and I holding down the fort.  We're one week in with one and a bit still to go.  So far, so good.  The total number of meltdowns (from me not Theo) can be counted on one hand so I definitely think that's saying something.

-I hit the mother load at the thrift stores, purple lee jeans, crocs for Theo, more summer clothes for the mama

- Our co-op daycare is restructuring and restructuring some more.  Our current location is just not cutting it for us so we're on the hunt for a new and better location....

-I've found my cooking groove again 

and have been making some tasty things including these carrot muffins and these vegan friendly peanut noodles. 

-had an amazing girls weekend with my three favourite ladies....think girly movies, junk food, indian food, celebrity magazines, yearbooks and no shortage of gossip

-Theo and I planted our balcony garden...including our bean plant from Nate, all the herbs one can ever need, zebra tomato plants, salad greens, yellow and green beans and of course a couple beautiful orange and yellow marigolds which Theo promptly pulled the flowers off.

-We ate our weight in asparagus

-I found a new blog to love...you should definitely check it out cause then you'll be as hooked as me

-Theos hair is growing and growing!  It's soft and fluffy and sun bleached..oh how that child is adorable.

-My first full day in the daycare as the duty parent...it was a really unique experience because I got to watch Theo interact with other kids and basically how a day in a daycare unfolds, which trust me, is completely and utterly exhausting.

What I'm looking forward to in June: 

-Strawberries and of course more asparagus

-Simon returning home to us

-Finishing up the end of my work contract 

-Swimming in a lake 

-Planning our summer including a couple camping trips, summer musical festivals and day trips

-watching our garden grow

-Splash pads in the park  

-a trip to the Toronto Islands

- a date night with Sime.  We're determined to get out there and try a new restaurant.

-my sister coming for a second girls night!
