Playtime with Darcy


Aloha Sprinklerinos,

If you've read any of this blog before, you will know that I love me a list. Like seriously, I freaking LOVE writing a good list. 

With Spring in the air and Summer fast approaching I thought I would share a few of the things I like to do with Darcy round this time of year that I know she enjoys too. 



This is the first year we will get to enjoy our new decking in the sunshine (it was completed in Autumn last year after all the good weather had left us dagnamit) so we plan to - 

Race toy cars.
Play make believe in the wendyhouse.
Plant flowers or veggies in the flower box (that currently has only weeds and pinwheels).
Eat outside for every meal!
Try some new craft projects. 
Colouring (I want to order some adult doodle books to enjoy too).
Make good use of the trampoline.
Have friends over, big and little. 
Install a lot more outdoor lights so I can sit out at night. 
Have the paddling pool out. 
Pick flowers (if we manage to grow any!) and make posies for the neighbours. 
Hulahooping.
Sweet sweet evening cuddles in the beanbags with netflix on. Bliss. 

What makes you excited for this time of year?

Toodlepip!

  6. This sounds like a wonderful list. I really love making lists, too. Especially lists for things to do that I can check off. Sometimes, I make a list for housework and write down things that I've already completed, just so that I can tick them off. XD

  7. It's the little things that are important, and I am definitely on board with the whole writing lists thing, as I'll use any excuse to whip out a pad and pen and get listing!

  8. Being outside with little ones at this time of year is the best :) There's so much to show them in Spring. I like it being bright in the morning so you don't have to drag yourself from bed as much as winter. Counting the days until the Summer holidays too, we have family coming from Canada to Scotland for 3 weeks to do a full UK trip. Although I can see me abandoning them if you do a book tour, LOL X

  9. Being outside during the evenings is one of my favourite things to do in summer, I'm not a fan of the heat but I love dusk and sunsets!

  14. This is soo sweet. Darcy(& you, I'm sure) will just love all of those.
    We purchased our home last year & most major works then so this year we aim to get the outside space in good shape. Lots of colour in the garden, painting fences etc, simple but I cannot wait to make the space ours.

  27. I'd quite like an adult's doodling book...Anyway, I too am looking forward to eating outside. Also a friend and I have decided that we should have more fun with bubble wands this year. I'm hoping to go to one of those outdoor cinema events. A friend is getting married and I flipping love weddings!

    Basically, I'd quite like to go outside. Preferably without a coat on.

  29. Darcy will certainly enjoy the deck! We had one growing up and I enjoyed it as a kid to play, as a teen to lay out, and now as an adult to sit, chat, and drink with my parents! Enjoy!

  39. That sounds perfect! This time of year means that school is coming to an end, and while it will be stressful there is always that promise that summer vacation is coming up! Which means a lot less stress and more time to just lay on the deck! :)

  46. jesus..just kidding, it's 2015, read a book! (other than the bible) The world has been around for 4.5 Billion years, Dinosaurs walked the earth for 65 million years, humans have only been around 200,000 years and the idea of Jesus is only 5000 years old. Ignorance truly is bliss i suppose, have fun with that!

  50. reading bout everyone going into spring is making me miserable. We re just heading into winter over my side of he world, and although I do love a good raining day with blankets and soup it does hinder the wearing of pretty dresses. Enjoy your lovely out door activities, I'll be inside staying warm!

  61. Hi Louise! In this post you mentioned possibly getting some adult colouring books, and I really recommend 'Millie Marotta's Animal Kingdom'. It contains loads of mosaic animals, often made up of leaves and flowers and it is so so beautiful. Plus, it's only £3.99 on Amazon!
