I am sorry I missed this one. I love how you moved the dollhouse over so it's more visible. Great thinking and I hope it works. Being a mom and playmate is exhausting, I remember! I wanted to tell you though that your daughters room is just so pretty! I absolutely love how you decorated this room!The Decorative Dreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05279782113691828056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-375410841094504951.post-88109450122254720192010-11-14T15:39:54.248-08:002010-11-14T15:39:54.248-08:00What a pretty room!

About spending time with the children--lots is great, however, they do need to learn how to entertain themselves, so if you have chores, don't feel guilty. My 11-yr. old can still play for long periods of time with her Polly Pockets while we're in the same room.KimMalkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11153549261521697368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-375410841094504951.post-91791176482130982882010-11-13T06:54:41.206-08:002010-11-13T06:54:41.206-08:00Beautiful space.

We painted the inside of our pantry door and created a trimmed out 5'x 5' space along a back hallway leading to the garage and they LOVE it. They play school, draw pictures and entertain themselves and each other. We can guide & interact with while we work and they play in the kitchen and on the bigger one in the hall they can get creative or I write a bunch of fun/educational things for them to do/work out on the board and they never get tired of it.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12343303791801390272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-375410841094504951.post-19759999217153803322010-11-12T18:31:38.978-08:002010-11-12T18:31:38.978-08:00I love your book nook!

I love the changes you've made. *I* want that reading nook!<br /><br />I've found that kids having a pretty and clean space to play in is integral to them playing happily. I can tell when mine drift out of their rooms and start mulling around like they have nothing to do, it's usually because they've made too big of a mess of their space and it's no longer fun to play in. We go in and reset and suddenly they notice toys they didn't see before. :)Miranda @ Pressing Onhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10919836627194878839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-375410841094504951.post-68892882691380447982010-11-09T10:38:10.612-08:002010-11-09T10:38:10.612-08:00Very cute!Very cute!Joy@Thrifty Parsonage Livinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12803809176994311396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-375410841094504951.post-77731505556571036972010-11-09T09:31:16.966-08:002010-11-09T09:31:16.966-08:00Love the changes!!!!!I feel like I don't spend...Love the changes!!!!!I feel like I don't spend enough time with my kids.

First let me say, what an ever so charming room...lucky to make a book nook for her. When my boys where little we played, played hard. I did though make a lot of play dates and get together with other MOM's...that helped me get through those toddler times. It was good for them as well. Hey I can be a big kid too, but sometimes they really do think you are a their entertainment. They need to learn to occupy themselves and use their imagination too. You are a great Mom..you will find the balance you need.Debbiedooshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18206855970605853635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-375410841094504951.post-24009494543569246592010-11-08T18:01:16.902-08:002010-11-08T18:01:16.902-08:00My kids are teenagers but I have a passion for boo...My kids are teenagers but I have a passion for books and this definitely looks like a cozy place to curl up & have some quality mommy/dtr time!!!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02934185689258570947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-375410841094504951.post-46792661644800832342010-11-08T18:01:09.471-08:002010-11-08T18:01:09.471-08:00My kids are teenagers but I have a passion for boo...My kids are teenagers but I have a passion for books and this definitely looks like a cozy place to curl up & have some quality mommy/dtr time!!!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02934185689258570947noreply@blogger.com
