Sophia's Doll Clothes: 18" Doll Kitchen

Disclaimer: I received a product for free in exchange for a review. All opinions are my own. 

A conversation I had with Miss Koda the other day made a lot of her doll play make sense. I asked her what she wanted to be when she grew up. Her answer: "A Mommy" Her favorite thing to play with her doll, Bailey, is cooking. She also likes to have Bailey play mommy. When Bailey drives her jeep, Koda even puts smaller dolls in the back like her babies and then she cooks for them and feeds them. She's been begging for a kitchen for Bailey.

I had been shopping around for doll kitchens, but my questions were answered when Sophia's Doll Clothes offered to send me a doll kitchen for Koda and Bailey. It is absolutely perfect!



The Chef's Kitchen & Accessories from Sophia's Doll Clothes is the perfect kitchen for girls who love their best friends as much as Koda loves Bailey!

Order's Up! Your American Girl® Doll will have a blast cooking for all her friends with this 19 piece Chef's Kitchen and Accessory Set. Not only does this kitchen set come with a stove, sink, oven and shelving unit that has lights and sounds, it also includes the following cooking accessories:  a pot w/lid, frying pan, 4 utensils, teapot and 2 teacups with saucers, cupcake pan and 4 cupcakes, cake stand and a canister.  Need additional cooking accessories? You can extend your accessories with LA-BS, not included with this set. Fits most 18 inch dolls like Sophia's®, Madame Alexander® and American Girl®.

In addition to this amazing kitchen, Sophia's also has many playsets that brilliantly compliment this kitchen. I love that it is light, so Koda can carry it to where she wants to play. Also, it is one single piece, making organizing simpler. Koda has played with this kitchen every day since she received it. She plays with it with bailey and sometimes without Bailey. What a wonderful addition to a playroom! 

 

Doll Play: Clean Up Time

Disclaimer: I received a product to review. All opinions are my own.

I have written many times about my daughter's doll "Bailey" being her best friend and a wonderful therapy tool for her communication disorder and anxiety. She wants Bailey to do whatever she does and she loves vacuuming, so this cleaning set from Sophia's Doll Clothes is perfect for her!


This cleaning set is so stinking cute. The vacuum is the classic canister style that goes everywhere. It even makes noises and throws the little beads around like they are working. (Don't forget the batteries). The set comes with a "full-size" doll broom and dustpan, as well as a handheld version. Her doll can clean to her heart's content and pull the vacuum behind her.

This is sure to keep your little one busy while you are busy vacuuming and teach a valuable lesson at the same time on how cleanliness is a necessity. As always, the play set is made of wonderful quality and will stand up to plenty of play with your little ones- it even stands up to my son!

Doll Play: Let's Play Store!

Disclaimer: I received a product to review. All opinions are my own.

My kids love to play shopping/ cash register. Snapper has been wanting a cash register like hers for her Bailey, so that they can go shopping for groceries, clothes, and all kinds of other fun stuff! I was surprised that these are not as easy to find as you would think. When Sophia's Doll Clothes offered to send me one for Snapper, I was ecstatic and it did not disappoint!


It comes with a carton of milk, granola bars, cereal, a garlic, potato, pumpkin, and two apples. Change, dollars, and a charge card are also included. The really fun thing is that the register actually makes noise, has a drawer that opens, a scale, and a scanner. How fun! Just don't forget the batteries!

This is an adorable playset that your child will have hours of fun with. Snapper has played grocery store, mall, salon, and even veterinarian with this set and I'm sure she will come up with even more things that are fun to play with it. Like other sets from Sophia's, these can be fun on their own as well, even without a doll!

Creative Slim Pouch: Organize With #ThirtyOneGifts

Disclaimer: I received a product to review. All opinions are my own.

I received the Creative Slim Pouch from Thirty-One Gifts to organize goodies with. Oh, I've had so much fun with these getting me and the kids organized! I think I find a new use for them every day (don't worry, a 31 uses for post is coming soon!)


These are perfect for my washi tape collection and I have room to expand on it. It would be perfect for my knitting needles, pens, and so much more. I also use them in the kids' backpacks. They hold crayons, pens, pencils, stencils, and more. They can lay them beside them in the seat and be able to get to what they want without a problem. Then, we have supplies for coloring, school, and more with us at all times.

What I love the most about these is that they are durable. I've bought many pvc pouches for the kids and they last no time at all. These will last for years to come!




Doll Play: I Got A Dog! Play Set

Disclaimer: I received an item to review. All opinions are my own.

Snapper loves animals, so playing animals with her doll is often seen around our house. She plays pets, farm, zoo, and veterinarian. She loves adding to her collection of pet play for her doll. Sophia's sent me this playset for her and she instantly fell in love.




This is a fun and beautiful playset. It comes with a dog carrier, dog, collar, leash, dog bed, bone, ball, brush, and food. Plus the box it comes in is beautiful, as are all Sophia's boxes. One wonderful thing about this set is that everything fits inside the dog carrier, as well as the dog. The dog is soft and fluffy, too! Hours of play for your little girl, her doll, and her furry friend!

The construction is wonderful and beautiful- perfect for kids to play with! It won't fall apart with play!
