Everyone Needs Playtime

In our hectic, modern lives, many of us focus so heavily on work and family commitments that we never seem to have time for pure fun. Somewhere between childhood and adulthood, we stopped playing.

When we carve out some leisure time, we’re more likely to zone out in front of the TV or computer than engage in fun, rejuvenating play like we did as children. But play is not just essential for kids; it can be an important source of relaxation and stimulation for adults as well.

There doesn’t need to be any point to the activity beyond having fun and enjoying yourself. By giving yourself permission to play with the joyful abandon of childhood, you can reap oodles of health benefits throughout life.

In My Quiet Time

I have been working on a fire place, it's not finished yet, but I am happy with my progress so far and so I thought I'd share a WIP photo with you today. The mantle still has to be stained and fixed to the top and I have to put the filler in between the "stones", blacken the inside of the fireplace so it looks like it has been used and add the wood.



























This is the second use I found for the flame-less tea light, which you can see sticking up in the centre. Hubby drilled a hole so it would sit low and I  would have access to the switch underneath. (More on the first use of the flame-less tea light will follow in another post.)

I also had something rather unusual happen today . . .  I had an offer too good to refuse for my Gotz Happy Kidz Katie (2015) which I receive back in March, 2017. She was one of my very favourite play dolls (and you all know how I feel about red haired dolls), but when someone says they are desperate to own such a doll, what is one to do?

So I decided to let her go to someone who will love her, rather than see her sit on the shelf in the display cabinet in my doll room, while I am busy playing with my dolls.

I'm curious to know if this ever happened to you? Has someone contacted you and asked if you would sell a particular doll?

It's rather cool here today and I have been yearning for something more substantial than salad. So I have a large casserole cooking in my slow cooker that is smelling rather yummy and I'm off to enjoy it now. Hope you are all having a great weekend!
Big hugs,
