My kitchen seems to turn into a disaster area on a nightly basis - it's where all of our coming home clutter seems to accumulate. I can clean it top to bottom in about a half hour once a week - it's the everyday stuff that piles up in there that drives me crazy.

Home Goods/Marshall's usually have a good selection of Chantal tea kettles for about 1/2 the price of other places.

I remember the Christmas of the cabbage patch doll shortage! I got my first CPK in the spring of that year after I broke my nose. She was a redhead with pigtails named Daisy. She still lives at my moms house - now covered in sharpie after my younger sister had a go at her. My second was a premie doll named Benjamin- but I wanted a girl so I renamed it Michah (which I thought was the girl version of Mike - a name I LOVED) and called him a she. My mom would buy me handmade clothes from a woman in the neighborhood and I when received doll bunk beds as a gift I was in heaven! Oh how I loved those CPKs!

i use soy milk in my coffee everyday - i always pour the soy milk into the cup first then the coffee and never have curdling issues. no waiting or cooling down. I also heat soy milk for lattes without any curdling... i've used many different brands/packaging of soy milk through the years.

i have had almond milk curdle in my coffee though.

@alexiso I bought mine at Babies R Us online 2.5 yrs ago. We love it - it has held up well during that time for our (very rambunctious) baby thru toddler boy and is as good as new and ready for number 2.

quick google search found one on amazon with free prime shipping:

The song is Flight Attendant by Josh Rouse.

i tap the lid on the counter, gently, a few times. always open right up after that.

i'll add almost anything into scrambled eggs.. a few favorites include ricotta and herbs, any type of pesto (we are partial to cilantro pesto minus any nuts), roasted red pepper humus, or leftover lentil soup - sounds odd but tastes great.

i'm with trishdom. we use a changing pad with a cover on top of my sons dresser. a fuzzy white cover no no less... and have never had problems. we also use the same method to change diapers... it's all about the under diaper! and we throw the cover in with he wash when we do it (once a week).
