FRANKY SECOND... WE NEED TO COOK!
It leads out into the living room! (Or, the room you see when you first enter the house.)
We've been cooking up something incredible: Your MC's Step 2 kitchen!
The teapot is adorable, the bowls of fruit are to die for, and I'd just love to know what the post-its on the fridge say.
Will your MC be stirring up a storm in here? Or are they more of a... cereal kind of person? 🤭
The thrift shop remains in Step 2 💕
Some of these pieces are still there from your Step 1 year, but new items have also appeared! Which one catches your eye?
WELCOME TO APRIL! 🌸
We're working away on Our Life: Now & Forever, and have our plans for the upcoming month here for you.
