Ju-ju mommy-
Was wondering how your May bill was? We are having a cool spring up here, maybe you are too? Was wondering if your little baby is sensitive to heat? I know the years after I have a baby, I use more heat/a/c to keep the baby comfortable.
My electric bill was low in April, also, at $93. Usually it is over $100, I'm happy whenever it drops down.
May was fine... but this month (June) is going to be ridculous. It's always our worst summer month. And it's been especially hot because we're in some sort of drought. All my plants are dying and I've given up on my veggie garden (at least for now; I'll plant again in the fall). So, it'll be a high bill this month. But that's ok.
And yes, both my kids are very sensitive to the heat. I'm very cold natured, so I have to try hard to keep in mind that they don't need to be dressed as much as I am. When at the house, I typically keep the baby in a onsie or just a diaper (naked babies are so cute LOL).
Going through this thread again.... I saw Deb's suggestion about bamboo. I never thought of that! That is a great idea... it grows fast and depending on the variety it gets super tall. My grandparents have some in their back yard that's very tall and shady. I wonder how you transplant that? Hmmm... I might give it a try. We'll be here about 2 more years so it'd be worth the effort.
Have a blessed day,
Julie
