play creatively
We’ve been doing lots of random things over here at Banister House, such as putting flowers on Frida (an illustration I did for the Frida Kahlo edition of Bravery Magazine). Playing with legos on our new Gathre mats. They are absolutely perfect for keeping the little pieces from falling into the cracks. Miss M was …
