Hi Reachel!
I could not resist commenting. Your list is adorable and inexpensive, too! So well put together! I knew the source as soon as I saw item #3 – Le Creuset! Hope you are doing well and I cannot wait to meet the new Bagley through photos and videos.
This is a great list, and I’m stealing some of these ideas, but I can’t help but comment about the toy scale. I know scales are a must for bakers (I use mine all the time for that), but I also feel like a lot of little girls only see their mom’s (or friends’ moms or older sisters or whatever) painstakingly measuring their caloric intake on scales. And the fact that it comes with an apple sort of alludes to that (maybe?). I know it’s just a toy, but as someone living in recovery from more than one eating disorder, this is not something I would want to give to a little girl.
Georgia, I hadn’t even thought of that. I use my scale for measuring roll dough and mailing packages, but I can see what you’re saying. Eating Disorders are an important issue to me too, and I appreciate help in breaking down those triggers and pathways.
Thanks for the response, Reachel. I don’t mean to hate – it’s really pretty cute. But, that was the first thing I thought. And the fear of passing on my issues to my as yet non-extant children/how to promote healthy attitudes in young girls has been on my mind a lot recently for whatever reason. Just something to think about.
I will definitely be putting a few of these suggestions to use and your list helped inspire some other ideas as well, so thanks! Quick question: do you have any recommendations on makeup brushes? The person I’ve drawn for Christmas this year has been asking for some and I’m not very familiar with good brands, especially within a $30 price range. Any advice would be super helpful! Thanks!!
I would add a Silpat to your list. Makes us side-tracked cooks look good when our cookies don’t burn.
