I love our new place. I love it, I love it, I love it. The field is huge and our garden is bigger than our apartment. I have my own separate art studio space with it's own door (that's huge when you have a 15 month old and have things to work on while papa watches him). Our house itself is a little tiny, but I normally like smaller living arrangements. The only thing I would change would be to have a slightly larger kitchen as I have newly discovered a slight love for baking and cooking. Our most utilized space (the babies and I) is the courtyard outside of our front door. It's huge and has a giant raspberry patch. It has tons and tons of flowers and has quite a few trees covering a small walkway. It's absolutely divine and the babes and I adore it. My favorite bit is the fact that it's entirely fenced in. It's so perfect! I can open the front door and prepare lunch inside while the little ones run around outside playing, not that I don't peek my head out every minute or so just to check.
It was very cloudy today and I was afraid to pack the babies up and venture off, just incase it began to rain. Normally Paloma hops in the stroller and Odin rides in the sling. I really didn't want to be caught out in the rain so we decided to stay home. Of course they had ridiculous amounts of fun anyway and discovered loads of new things. Paloma really wanted to catch a bumblebee although I continuously insisted she shouldn't. They played peek-a-boo with each other from behind our big barn storm doors. They climbed up the steps and ran down the walkway. They feasted on raspberries fresh from the earth.
Although we were stuck at home, I think I would call today a very good day.
these are so pretty!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, gorgeous!
Deletewhat an awesome wee area, our house/yard is so impractical! its down like 8 step stairs and at the opposite end of the house as the kitchen/living area so one of us has to be outside with the kids, hard when their is so much to do and its normally just me home. but we will hopefully sell this place next year and look for something with better indoor outdoor flow!! Love Odie in his wee tights we have a pair almost exactly the same!
ReplyDeleteOh, yeah! That sounds like a pain! I hope you find a magical place that will work perfectly for you guys. We love these tights! I'm always thankful for a breezy day in the summer so that we don't let these cute leggings go to waste!!
DeleteThey look like they must be the best of friends! Your yard looks great and all of the plants and flowers must make it like a wonderland for the little ones. I have my own studio too and that door is sometimes wonderful, and sometimes it just means little people are constantly banging on it wanting to be let in ;)
ReplyDeleteThey're only a week apart! Odin first truly learned to say "mama" when I was in the studio. He sat outside the door and cried "maaaaa ma, maaaaaa maaa, maa maaaaaa" over and over until I came back in. So I guess there are ups and downs to having an enclosed studio! I need a studio that I have to walk or drive to!
Delete1. i LOVE odin's pants.
ReplyDelete2. you should definitely consider doing a "house tour" post! i love small spaces and seeing how people organize! our new place is tiny too.
3. so jealous of your yard, that is one thing i don't have anymore :(
Our house is all yard. Our house is so itty bitty, it's really hard to work. We have this tiny room at the end of our kitchen area that I think should be a dining room but it's too narrow for any dining room table. I just don't know what to do with it and it drives me batty!
