You don't need to set up the perfect, most beautif You don't need to set up the perfect, most beautiful, colour coordinated play space for your children. To me, it seems there is more imagination and fun to be had in ordinary objects taking on new life. Right now there are old tins, buckets, a step, sticks, rocks, logs, string, and who knows what else, being used for all sorts of things around our yard. The uncared for garden down the side of the house is a favourite place to play! There are magical little worlds, shelters for kids living in the 'wild', and a perfect place for getting muddy.

Maybe it doesn't look Instagrammable. To them, it is wonderful!

My priority is not what looks good, but what feels good.
