Creative Play
Everyday, I try to engage Bella in some creative play. Once she gets started...she will sometimes be busy for 1/2 hour all by herself. When I was a child, we didn't have to even think about "creative play"...but toys and playtimes have changed since then. Now, you can buy toys that do everything for you...make all the noises, move around in circles, tell you what to do, etc. In our house, we only have toys that require some sort of imagination to play with them. We have almost no plastic toys...opting for wood or cloth instead. And you definitely won't HEAR any electronic toys at our house.Bella's favorite toys are her playsilks (seen above as they provide a cushy bed for her dolly), her wooden food, and her musical instruments. It's so much fun to see her create scenarios and imagine all kinds of fun things to do...her mind is growing before my eyes!

Taylor could bring his barn and farm animals and they would have the time of their lives. Cute sweater!
I think your blog is so inspirational. Both this one, and the one about simple living. I've been making (or attempting to) similar changes in terms of how I've been living. So, getting to read about you and your family is truly delightful and (as I mentioned) inspirational. You have a beautiful family, a beautiful apartment, and a beautiful soul. Thanks for sharing.
I have a quick question for you. Where did you get the play silks and the musical instruments?
