Lack of space in a home can be a real headache. There are only so many times you can step over the cat, the kids and an assortment of storage crates, on every journey to the kitchen. Eventually, you start to lose patience. But, moving to a new home is not always an option, due to cost, not being able to find a suitable property or simply being happy in the street where you live.

Yeeee Haw! Time To Head To The Farm!!
ME?? Heading to a FARM?? Okay, just kidding. The Husband has quite convinced me to head to Montana or Idaho to live on a farm. Not yet. Lord knows he does show me some amazing houses every night. But so far my toes are still firmly planted in the sands of Sunny California. This farm is doll size. From Timy the Wooden Farm House Playset is a Barn Horse Stable WITH accessories!! There is a lot that I really like about this farm set. First, it challenged 6-year-old Alice to put it together. Second, it’s sturdy. This set is solid and heavy. It will last through several generations of children. The bright colors are very inviting to play with. There are gates that open and close. Alice can easily remove the roof in case she wants to play in that particular area. The entire wooden farm set arrives in one large flat box. The instructions are easy to follow and use.…
