Ideas for the Little One(s) in Your Life - and my citrus pillow cover

I was just doing a little Sunday evening catch up on some of my favorite blogs and came across a simply genius idea at Rhythm of the Home from Sutton Grace's Erin Woodword.  As I commented on Sutton Grace's blog, I can easily see the possibility in a funky flea market find, but to see the future of an MDF entertainment center is sheer brilliance!  And so I must share it with you...

Check out this play kitchen repurposed from an entertainment center by Erin Woodward of Sutton Grace.  Here are the pics; click on the link to see the how-to.  I am so inspired!  If it weren't after 9 p.m., I'd go hunting for an inexpensive entertainment center at my local thrift store!!







If you're looking for outdoor fun for your little one(s), you might want to check out this resource, 25 Easy Nature Play Ideas for Preschool Yards from Green Hearts Institute for Nature in Childhood.  At their website you can also download a copy of A Parents' Guide to Nature Play.  Very cool, very fun ideas that just might buy me some time to garden this summer, and help our little "O" grow his appreciation of nature at the same time. 

Finally, here's my fun little project of the day.  A pillow cover made from a vintage sheet and some vintage ball fringe bought at last weekend's fundraising garage sale.  It's such a fun, bright, splash of color that screams CITRUS or SHERBET or FRESH SQUEEZED.  I simply love it and can't wait to look at it again when I awake first thing tomorrow morning!  Nighty, night!  ~J
