ohmygosh!!
I am laughing so hard at Banjo feeding the doll! Adorable!
Thank you for posting this...I am showing my 15 year old trying-not-to-conform daughter that children do NOT need corporate logo "toys" or electronics to have fun.
I love the way you are raising your kids, so natural, so real, so much time spent outdoors in nature. I heart your blog.

oh, this is like seeing my childhood all over again! as a waldorf graduate, i will always hold a special place in my heart for wooden bowls, grass soup, and handmade dolls. :)

the kitchen is adorable and kids playing outside is perfection. the kitchen utensils are awesome ...especially the little kettle in banjo's hands. i can just imagine what is going through those little minds!

I need to set up an outdoor play kitchen in my backyard. Miles is so drawn to them. I love yours; it looks like so much fun!

these pics are ADORABLE and made me smile - two beautiful sweeties being so occupied together and having such simple fun - what could be better ?

Adorable! And they wouldn't be so good at it if they didn't see Mommy in action. More is caught than taught, for sure. :)

So precious! When I was a young one, I used to cook like that outside. One of my favorite childhood memories.

So adorable! You have such a beautiful family. I love reading about all your adventures. I think it's so cool how in touch with nature your children are.

What an amazing outdoor play space for your little ones, I am lusting after it!!! So simple and so perfect for hours of pretending!!! Love these photos.

I've been thinking of how I would make Jonah an outdoor play kitchen, so I am SO GLAD to see Yindi and Banjo loving theirs! What sweethearts.

We are always feeding the toys around here too, and giving them medicine, and putting them to bed, and throwing them in the bath while the water's running and no one's guarding the bathroom door....I mean, giving them a wash. Yay for toddlers!
