Play dolls house. Matilda loves to rearrange the furniture in her dolls house. Her dolls are particularly house proud :)

I love the endless stories the girls come up with for their little animals and dollies.

Sometimes they will follow the story line of a favourite film or book, other times the stories will be far more mundane and include everyday details an family anecdotes, often their stories will escape completely into the realms of fantasy and fairytale.

  3. Your home looks so peaceful, so inviting! Mine, with all its boys, is usually noisy and chaotic!

  4. Suzy it's great to have you back and to see what you and your family have been up to. Very lovely in all ways. Your life seems so beautiful and peaceful (I'm sure it isn't always, but fundamentally --).
