Playing House

Last month, Maiya got a play house from our next door neighbor. She loves it and has spent a lot of time out there playing by herself. She has some chairs, listens to music, reads books and eats snacks out there. Although I felt a little sad for her one day when she pointed to the two empty chairs and said that she needed her friends Tula (lives in Detroit) and Lauren to be sitting in the chairs with her. She keeps a vase (yogurt container) in the kitchen window filled with poppies and rocks.

The big apple and lemon are vintage.
They used to sit in a bowl at our kitchen table when I was a kid.

Maiya likes to decorate the shelves with photos and books
