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.

A Little Bear Who'll Steal Your Heart

Hubby and I risked the kiddy crowd today and went to see . . .


. . . if you get the chance to see it, please do. It's a real feel good movie, wonderful for the children and even better for adults of all ages, especially old sops like me! It made me laugh and cry.

Hope you are all having a wonderful week.
Hugs,

Do You Belive in Fairies?


Do you believe in fairies?
Could fairies really exist?
Do they live in flowers and gardens?
Do they play in the morning mist?


Do they tend to nature
With loving care?
Do they fly through the forests?
Would we see them there?

Are they oh so gentle?
Are they heaven sent?
Do they fly with the butterflies
Until the day is spent?

Oh I would love to see them,
To catch sight of them at play,
Dancing around the flowers,
Just going about their day.

P.S. Just in case you're wondering why the blog has been so quiet lately . . . I kissed a frog and he turned into a prince . . . which in turn has kept me quite busy!

Have a great week!

Looking Forward to a Bright New Year

Well as another year is quickly coming to a close, we (hubby & I) are finally prepared for the countdown to introduce 2018 and a whole new page in our lives.

There will be no further additions to the dolly hoard, so my blog will probably be more varied in content, taking into account my other interests.


It's been an interesting year to say the least and one full of surprises for me. 

To all my blogging buddies, you have added much joy to my life with your friendship and kindness,
I wish you all the very best for 2018 and may all your dreams of a bright future be fulfilled.

Warmest Hugs,
X

P.S. 28th Dec. I received this photo of my Little Darling today, she is completed and will be on her way very soon.
