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.

Sunday

Pleasant Sunday Afternoon

Great band, fabulous syncopated jazz music from the 1920's, period venue with fun lighting, people of all ages, from all walks of life, some with their children, some in costume of the time . . . we couldn't think of a more pleasant way to spend an afternoon on a wet Sunday in Melbourne!

Looking forward to the return of Andrew Nolte and his orchestra to the Spotted Mallard. :)

Shoes for iMDA 2.6

I recently ordered a pair of shoes from eBay to try on my iMDA 2.6 as she is in between a Pukifee and Littlefee foot size . . . 3.3mm from back of heel to tip of big toe. The shoes I ordered are for the Seely body Bluette dolls. Unfortunately, I received two left foot shoes instead of a pair, but this was quickly remedied by Judy, the shop owner, who offered to send another pair immediately.

Feeling a little awkward about the situation, I offered to order another pair in a larger size for my iMDA 3.0 and said she could include the replacement with them, meaning I would cover the postage. However, Judy admitted it was her mistake and she would have had pay for the replacement's postage anyway, so she's sending both pairs completely free of postage . . . how's that for service??

With socks on, they are perfect!

If you're looking for little shoes for your iMDA 2.6, you can find them in all colours HERE.
