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.

Friday

Do Pigs Really Fly?

THINK PINK IT'S FRIDAY!

Yes it's that time again and this week I'm sharing a photo of Maisie my Soom iMda 2.6 Collette, Normal Skin, who arrived in May 2015. She is wearing a PINK and white hand knitted dress made by me and pretty PINK sandals. Maisie is accompanied by her pet PINK pig Pork Chops who was made by Linda Benson of Benson's Bears.


MAISIE: "Just because you have wings on your back Pork Chops, it doesn't mean you can fly!"

Have a wonderful weekend!

Sunday in the Park

Quick snap this morning . . . anyone for cricket?


We have free entertainment each Sunday through summer with cricket in the park.

Our temperature reached 42c on Friday (some places in our state actually reached 47c), but dropped to 21c when the cool change came through, and it's been like this ever since. 

Hope you are all having a lovely relaxing weekend.
Big hugs,
