Imagine our delight today when we received in the mail a package from my friend Diane, addressed to Lynn and Michaela.
And now, crackling in the doll house, is a nice warm fire in our new doll house fireplace. And that’s not all. We also received a handful of little, old-fashioned, miniature toys. See them on the mantel and around the fireplace?
I noticed as I put these little treasures in the doll house (yes, I was playing dolls this afternoon) just how very much this doll house life mirrors my own. Why, just look at mom stretched out on the perfectly clean couch in her perfectly clean living room, not a care in the world.
And right across the room sits hubby, reading to his wife from something lovely. A fishing or hunting magazine? My, no, not here. Why, he reads to her from a cookbook or a decorating book or the newest homeschool magazine.
And what is that next to hubby? Oh, yes, that’s the cake he baked, so that when mother decides to get up off the couch she can instantly have a bit of something to quell her sweet tooth.
Doesn’t she look relaxed? That could so easily be me. I mean, that virtually is me!
Tee hee. Tee hee. (Everytime I write that I’m taken back to good ol’ Archie comic books).
Actually, Diane, we love these little treasures, and it was a fun relief for me to lose myself in doll house ease for awhile and just play. Thank you. 
Michaela will enjoy them always! We just love the sound the fireplace makes.
Tomorrow we’ll be participating in an art and music show with our homeschool group, where Michaela will be showing a couple of her art pieces. We’ll also be hearing music performances from some very talented students. I’ll be sure and take pictures!
for you to leave a comment, but you can also e-mail me at lynn AT thehealthyhomeschool.com
Love the new pieces for your dolls’ house. What a lovely friend you have in Diane!
I also enjoyed your showing me around – and the parallels with your life. Tee Hee indeed!
What a perfect world–where the husband bakes and reads to you!
The mother doll looked like she didn’t have a care in the world. I love the dollhouse pieces too. Friends like that are priceless.
Lynn,
What a lovely little blessing…I really LOVE that little fire for your fireplace…wonderful, wonderful treasures!
Hey, check out my blog…I have something there you might find “interesting”…I was thinking about you and your princess a lot when I posted my last bit.
Love seeing the new treasures for the dollhouse!
love,

What a treat visiting your parallel universe, Lynn! I can just imagine the fun you and Michaela have playing together.
My husband was kind enough to build a little 4-room house for Anna Rose and me, and we’re in the process of planning out the decor and collecting things to furnish it. See how you’ve inspired me?
Have a blessed day in the Lord!
Dear Lynn,
May I come live in your doll house? I’m sure that I could squeeze in there somewhere! And that that cake would NOT lead to high blood sugar or dental decay
.
Good luck to Michaela and her art show!
Love,
Marqueta
Ohhhh, I have never seen anything like that sweet fire. What a wonderful addition to your wonderful dollhouse. The Mr. and Mrs. look quite at home♥
Hi Lynn,
What a delightful way to live! I was tickled by your post and am glad the fires will always warm Michaela’s dollhouse.
Hugs,
Diane
So cute.
Jeanne, you made me laugh! Indeed. I loved your post on the maps! Great info.
Thanks for stopping by, Kisha! Doll house life is just so easy!
Carrie, I’ll be over ASAP. I’m working today, of course, and yesterday we were gone almost all day! I was thinking of you yesterday as well.
Emily, we have enjoyed our doll house time so much. It strengthened the “friend’ bond that we have. I know you’ll have fun with your doll house!!
Marqueta, please do come right over! Nothing in the doll house has any calories, so we can eat everything we want. It’s a fun “break” but I guess we wouldn’t want to stay there forever.
I want to get a chance to visit you today. I love the housework post and will be back to tell you soon! Ah, time flies around this place!
Diane, it’s just the best. I wish you could hear it in real life!
Diane M, we certainly got a kick out of the fireplace. Thank you for getting us back to the doll house for a little while. It’s been a busy few weeks for us!
Tonya, thank you!
Lynne
I just read your message to me on my blog. I popped over to yours to say “thanks” and discovered your beautiful doll house. I LOVE it. We gave our oldest daughter a doll house for Christmas and I’m just as excited as she is about setting up house. I’ll be sure to show her your blog tomorrow. I know she’ll love it!
