We’ve been chatting with a few people about play We’ve been chatting with a few people about play houses and it has me nostalgically looking back at our past builds. This was our first play house we ever did for another family. Made in 2016 before this little business had even been born, it was built with reclaimed wood as a surprise for dear friends to come home to. . . #curatedplayspaces #reclaimedwood #kidsplayhouse #dcmom #naturalplay
A cubby. A fort. A playhouse. Whatever you like A cubby. A fort. A playhouse. Whatever you like to call them, you can’t wrong with adding one to your backyard. One of our big considerations when planning a playhouse is to think about how it can grow with your child. What a toddler wants from a playhouse isn’t going to be the same as what an older child wants, so it’s important to look and plan ahead so that it can be enjoyed for many many years to come. . . #curatedplayspaces #cubbyhouse #playhousemakeover #annapolismoms #backyardplayground
No #sundayscaries over here. Winter might have cre No #sundayscaries over here. Winter might have crept back in overnight, but the sun is shining, the coffee is hot, and the morning nice and slow. I recently rediscovered these beautiful photos from @juliette_fradin_photography of her daughter working at their mud kitchen (one of the first ones we ever made). Juliette is an absolutely incredible DC area photographer and amazing human who you should be following too! . . #curatedplayspaces #mudkitchenideas #dcmoms #letthemgetdirty #outsideplayanyday
Chestita Baba Marta | Честита Баба Ма Chestita Baba Marta | Честита Баба Марта Today is one of our favorite holidays of the year. Our daughter Tippi was born in Bulgaria and on March 1st Bulgarians celebrate Baba Marta Day. Baba Marta means Grandma March. When Baba Marta is feeling grouchy the weather is cold and wet. On Baba Marta Day people try to cheer her up so she will bring warm spring weather. Friends give each other small red and white bracelets called a martenitsa and say, “Chestita Baba Marta” which translates to “Congratulations Baba Marta”! Everyone wears their martenitsi on their wrist or pinned to their shirts until the first sign of spring like a stork, swallow, or tree beginning to bloom. Then they take them off and hang them on a flowering tree for good luck. For those in the DC region, Baba Marta was feeling extra cheerful today and graced us with a perfect early spring day. It won’t be long until we are tying our martenitsi to blooming trees again. We can’t wait! . . #babamarta #martenitsa #dcmoms #learningthroughliving #bulgarianadoption
