It is always said the kitchen is the heart of the home. With two little kids, the kitchen is not only the heart of the home, but it is grand central station! No matter what is going on, the moment I step foot in the kitchen to cook something, I have two cute little people clinging to my leg. I mean, where else would you dance around in a turkey tutu or do a dinosaur puzzle while playing rhythm sticks, right?
