While on a pinning spree I came across this adorable play kitchen. I did what every good Pinterest addict does...ripped off the idea and ran to the store for supplies. So today, our family went on a little treasure hunt. I excitedly told our 4 year old that we were going on a treasure hunt at the Re-store....imagine how upset he was when we got there and the place was just full of cabinets, chairs and random doorknobs. I have to say, I could have spent a lot more time in there, but with two children in tow, we had to move fast.  I came across this beauty and fell in love, but the pricetag said $70 and there was NOOOOOOOOOOOO way I was spending $70 on a cabinet to drill holes in it and turn it into a play kitchen. But upon further inspection (and a second opinion from the hubster) it was actually $20! MUCH more reasonable given the fact that we had a store credit for $13 from last summer when we gave them our toilet (we totally thought we would have to PAY to get rid of that toilet ...

Today is the birthday of Dr. Seuss....so I thought I would share the "artwork" that I made for the kids playnook (we call it a playroom, but it's really just the corner of the living room!) Upclose... The quote is from  Oh! The Places You'll Go! and says... You have brains in your head You have feet in your shoes You can steer yourself in any direction you choose I hope as my kids get older they will read this a lot...a mother can hope! :) I bought a cheap canvas at Michael's, painted it blue all over then sponged on some white puffy clouds. Then borrowed my friend's vinyl cutter to do the letters. Easy Peasy!  It didn't turn out 100% like I thought it would (I'm an amazing artist in my head, in reality I'm on par with a 4th grader)....but my son thinks I'm cool, and that's all I can really ask for!

I found this adorable craft idea on Pinterest . I already have felt and ribbon laying around, so it was super cheap and easy for a 3 year old to do (of course I did all the cutting, but I did it at night so everything would be ready to go the next day) the almost one year old enjoyed eating them (now that is a shocker!) The garland will look super cute when we decorate the house on Valentine's day....and maybe even decorate the neighbor's door! :)
