***Birthday Bash-Hearthsong review and JUST MY SIZE KITCHEN GIVEAWAY***

If you never heard of HearthSong before, you should definitely go check out their amazing selection of toys. They have everything from outdoor toys, games, puzzles, arts & crafts, and much much more. They have so many fun toys to offer. 

Going through their site i was impressed at how incredibly easy it is to navigate and find what you’re looking for.  Every different type of toy/item has its own header with a drop down list of all of the items and a side bar with all kinds of ways to search for the perfect toy or gift.  If you have a particular item in mind, you can use their search bar to find what you are looking for.  You can also shop by price, interest, age range, amongst other things. 

As I was trying to decide what we wanted to review/giveaway I came across so many fun things to get.  With the HOT summer months coming to a close and cooler fall temperatures on their way it is the perfect time for those outdoor toys for fall time.  With me being almost 30 weeks pregnant, the heat is just too much to bear.  So some cooler weather will be much appreciated. We can get our little ones outside to play and have fun in the sun. If you are looking for outdoor toys Hearthsong is definitely the place to go.

Since my son has always loved playing with toy kitchens at other peoples house, I decided to review the Just My Size Kitchen for his birthday.  The great thing about this kitchen is that it fits well into a smaller space and doesn't take up all kinds of room. It is the perfect size for a small child and has all of the options that a kitchen should.  It comes with a stove, hanging rack, clock, shelf, sink, oven, and storage space for hours of food fun.

When the kitchen showed up on our front step it just happened to be naptime so it was perfect timing to put it together (without having a two year old undoing when you just did.)  After getting all of the pieces out, seperated, and ready to put together I got started. The actual assembly of the kitchen could be done in probably 10 minutes or less.....well lets just say that the directions for putting the kitchen together are basically a picture with a bunch of arrows showing you what you are supposed to do. So it took just a little longer to put together than expected. I had to take it apart once because I missed a step since there wasn't really much info on the directions. That is the one and only thing that I would change about this kitchen.....and it doesnt really have anything to do with the actual kitchen. If it had easily understandable directions that told you step by step what you were supposed to do it would be a breeze to put together. You could probably have it done in 10 minutes or less.

After I figured out what I was supposed to do I got it all put together and moved the kitchen into corner of the livingroom. I got all of the stuff that came with it put with it and everything ready to be played with.  The kitchen comes with 3 cooking utensils, 2 pots (well 1 pow w/ lid and one skillet), a fried egg to put in the skillet, a stainless steel sink (that is removable), an oven mitt, and a pretend clock with movable hands.

The kitchen is designed with decorative detail on the outside and is very well painted. It didnt come with any knicks or scratches and has withstood the abuse of a 2 year old and our almost one year old niece that lives with us very well. It is played with almost daily and is loved by all kiddos that come over. My son and niece love to take the sink part out (that is removable) and carry it around the house banging on things. My son has also decided to make the kitchen storage area a storage place for his Papas books. We find new random things there every day.

Kids will love cooking up imaginative meals with their first wooden play kitchen. Designed with decorative details, play set comes with 3 cooking utensils, 2 pots, stainless steel sink, oven mitt, pretend clock with movable hands and lots of storage.

It’s the perfect size for little ones and great for apartments or smaller rooms.
