Growing up I always wanted an Easy Bake Oven, unfortunately, I never got one. To be honest I have always felt slightly jilted about this and even as an adult I have found myself wandering up and down the toy aisle trying to justify purchasing one.
As a somewhat sane 30+ year-old woman without children (yet) it just seems like the kind of product I might need to find some justification for; am I wrong? Buying it would not have been hard as most people would assume it was for my (non-existent) daughter. The hard part would be explaining myself to my husband when he came home to find me standing in our kitchen baking desserts in brightly colored toy oven.
Last week I was lucky enough to win an Easy Bake Oven from the Classy Mommy Site Warming party hosted by Resourceful Mommy. The crazy girl in me really wants to crack this puppy open and start baking Thanksgiving dinner. What do you think?
