Mud pies and outdoor play kitchen inspiration



Sunnyboy loves making mud pies with friends in the garden.


July 2011

He's always had an indoor play kitchen and also a box of kitchen utensils, bowls and buckets for the garden, where he has a mud patch. Recently he said he'd like Nozy to help him make a wooden cooker for the garden so I've been looking for inspiration for an outdoor play kitchen area we can get ready for spring. These are some of the kitchens I found.

Climbing a hill

This week we went to the first of a series of workshops about the river in our city and this week's session was about the history of the river and this hill nearby. It's one of very few hills near where we live and has a fascinating history. It's also a part of Sunnyboy's history as it's where Sunnyboy was given his name at 3 weeks old. After the workshop Sunnyboy and I decided to climb the hill.

This is the post I submitted to the Creme de la Creme of 2011

Saying Goodbye Again (from Sunnydaytodaymama): A mother says goodbye to the embryos that didn’t make it post-transfer, all the while looking at her IVF child and knowing how much he wants to be a big brother.

Today another could have been due date passes and I'm thinking of all our babies.
