Lazy Day!


Today wasn't so much a productive day... I did come up with a new concept for yet another children's book. Yet another idea I'm not willing to share publicly for fear of it being stolen. Mostly I just lazed about playing games on my computer and watching the Olympics. M and I had fun playing together and romping around on the pile of blankets and cushions I laid out for us. One thing that I can say took up a lot of my time today was researching toys for M. I'm looking to clean out her infant toys and upgrade a few things so that she only has one of everything as appose to twenty of each!

I searched everywhere online for doll sets. I just can't bring myself to spend that much money on items that I know only cost two to five dollars to make. I seriously considered going to home depot and getting some wood and nails and building the stuff myself. I'm sure it would be excellent quality if I did it myself as well! All the cribs and strollers and play pens for dolls are made out of such cheap plastic in Toys'r'us... I want my daughter to have good quality toys if I'm paying for them. Maybe I will do this it can be yet another project to add to my already long list of things to do!

This one is a really good one though. If I can do this with C's help of course, these toys could be keepsakes and heirlooms in our family forever. Passed on through tradition and some day my great great great granddaughter will tell her daughter "your great great great great grandmother and grandfather built these together when your great great great grandmother was just a baby!" I love it! I'm totally gonna do it! Doll furniture will be my family legacy and it will be amazing and I will be looking on in the afterlife so proud of my accomplishment. Something that my family will always have as long as time permits it to be around! I'm so excited I think I must go and get planning, writing the blueprints for all these little treasure's!
