we have a basement...as well as an attic....but most of the activity happens in the living room....I guess that's why it's called the 'living room' eh? the forts are becoming quite elaborate....with many mazes and tunnels...
finding their path through all the colors is so fun for them......

| the oldest daughter is now making dolls....so super cute!! |
even me
I have my ways of having respite...and it oftentimes involves coffee and the kitchen......
but there are those times when I am able to get out of the house....(imagine!)
and this weekend is one of them.......my friend Sherrie has her studio doors open this weekend -
Friday 5-8pm and Saturday 10-2pm.......for more info, go to her facebook page: a ruffled nest...the studio
in case you haven't been there before, she sells everything from painted furniture to architectural salvage
xo + looking forward to the weekend already blessings,
Hello Anne-Marie! The doll looks so cute! I wish you and your family a wonderful weekend! With love, Geli
ReplyDeleteThe muffins look yummy! I agree a home means a family lives there not just stops by! Have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you! I always wonder about how you can have such a perfect family,even you have six kids to care about...but I know the answer,it's just LOVE! I can see it everytime in every pic you show us,you are all under the power of love! bye!
ReplyDeleteDon't we all love the cocoon/nesting feeling of a fort or special hide-a-way? A special place, indeed.
ReplyDeleteHow Wonderful to have Creative kiddos as well-the dolls are adorable-the detail in the eyes-
ReplyDeleteI too have many forts-all of which end up in our family room- They grow so fast-you have to enjoy those sweet lil memories..

Beautiful post :) Your children are very creative, I think they must take after you! Have a wonderful evening. -Al
ReplyDeleteThose forts are the best.............often our whole lounge room has been just one big giant fort.....every piece of available blanket and pillow and pegs.......are found and used....great fun, simple fun...
ReplyDeleteIm rarely away from our three beauties....but sometimes, just sometimes....I get to go by myself....and I check the back of the car because it seems like I have forgotten something...often its just a trip to the old wares shop, or I sneek into our vintage cinema for a late night movie by myself...( I love that...)....maybe a dinner with a friend....but mostly its just home, my garden, our children and my husband...and I wouldnt have it any other way.......
My little third munchkin starts kindy next week, she is four now..............I have so loved being with her...I will not like the feeling of everyone being in different places after these weeks of holidays home here together..........its the first time in over ten years that I will wander through the house and garden without anyone............Im keeping an open heart about it, as just thinking about it and typing that made my eyes well up......life is all about change..........
What a material of un-ambiguity and preserveness of precious knowledge concerning unpredicted emotions.

ReplyDeleteI so love you guys! You show the everyday life at Na-da Farm and do not always tidy up before taking pics. This is a real blog, a real family!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations for the book and that's so funny, you are able to go out of the house..imagine!

This made me smile...my girls did this all the time with our blankets. Now they are older and my Molly and Sydney still make forts sometimes to sleep in overnight or to watch a movie! {20 and 17 years old} Yesterday my Molly wanted to have a picnic in the middle of the dinning room floor! I LOVE it! xoxoxo Hugs
ReplyDeleteMy little guy has recently started making blanket forts (he calls them tents) in our living room. Such a fun memory from my own childhood. I have been sewing, stitching, and trying some new bread recipes. The cold can be hard, but I do enjoy getting cozy together inside.
ReplyDeleteJust love a good fort Anne Marie. Nothing like it on a cold and icy weekend. Stay warm my friend. Love, Penny
