[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe Cool Urban Mama, instead of "frugal" one?[/quote] That works![/quote] Or maybe Earth Mama in the City? She reminds me a bit of my mom and her friends when I was growing up in the Bay Area in the '70s. As it happens, my dad was a pediatrician. When he was in training my parents literally picked up furniture that people had put out at the curb, fixed it up and painted it to make it look whimsical and stylish. We still have some of those pieces, including a rocking chair I used when my own kids were little. I don't think my parents renovated the house until I was in high school, but they did send 4 kids through college and grad school and saved for a very comfortable retirement. Still, they probably wouldn't call themselves frugal, just sensible.[/quote]
