Pretend Play Kitchens

I love pretend play.pretend play kitchens

Kids love pretend play. They learn so much in the process.

Our favorite pretend play theme is cooking, but I’m a little snobby about the toys Grace uses. Without exception, KidKraft toys are good enough to get into our living room. Grace’s kitchen is from KidKraft.

I was happy to learn about Pretend Play Kitchens. Pretend Play Kitchens sells KidKraft (and other great brands) at well below the original price. It’s the best of both worlds!

Paper Culture Review

by Tara on September 9, 2009

I’m a stationery hound. I have all kinds of papers and cards and stationery, and I love to write letters with real pens on real papers.

A few weeks ago, I received a sample pack from Paper Culture.

The cards are all sturdy and expensive-looking. They aren’t cheap, starting at $1.49 per card, but the quality and the company’s business practices justify the expensePastel Colored Photo Baby Shower Invitations.

Paper Culture’s designs are cute, and they are all exclusive. For the most part, they are simple, modern, and elegant.

Paper Culture makes eco-friendly stationery; their paper is 100% post consumer recycled paper and certified by the Forest Stewardship Council. They are also elemental chlorine-free and created using wind-powered electricity.

I thought all of that was cool.

And then I noticed two things.Elephant and Whale Birthday Party Invitations

First, Paper Culture will address and mail your cards for the price of a stamp. You don’t have to pay extra; you pay the postage, and they address and mail your cards. (I hear that offer is good through January 1, 2010.)

Second, Paper Culture will allow you to add a personalized note to each and every card.

I’m sold. Paper Culture is definitely in the running for my Christmas cards.

Through the end of September, you can save $15 on a $75 order!
