World's Greatest Play Kitchen Revealed

Ladies, I'm sorry I've been remiss in not revealing where I got Scarlet's Red Play Kitchen ...everytime it shows up in a post I get a flood of emails wondering where I got it and how much it cost.  So here's the scoop...

I researched all the play kitchens in the entire universe and I have to say it paid off.  This kitchen is compact yet has everything a child wants in a mini-kitchen including a microwave, sink, fridge, oven, cabinets and even a phone!  This is the single best toy Scarlet ever received, and she's played with it since about 11 months and still plays with it every single day.

It's made by KidKraft and costs less then $150.  I'm not gonna lie, my husband DID NOT ENJOY assembling it, but he did get an extreme sense of pride when it was complete.  GO GET IT HERE: KidKraft Red Vintage Kitchen And if you have one, or have thoughts on this or other Play Kitchens, please share with us in the comments!

Nesting

Despite what looks like a perfectly pleasant Spring day, we are in hibernation. Blame it on the North Texas allergies, my undying love of leisure-wear or any of the options below...

We have been admiring our new Liberty of London lampshade in Clare's room.

Brainstorming what we can do with all these file folders (besides filing.)

Wrapping up brown paper parcels of giveaway prizes!

And admiring our latest Goodwill find, a GIANT (and fabulous) relish tray, after all those regrets. $4!

What are you up to?
