WHAT?!?? How can this beautiful angel..this gift from God EVER be considered a problem? Well, I'll tell you. This same wonderful darling turns into Satan's minion every morning at exactly 6:00 a.m. 
Take last Thursday morning, for example. Miss Priss's grandmother gave her a plastic box that contains about 1,500 small rubber bands in varying colors and sizes. I awoke that morning to the feeling of those same 1,500 rubber bands being sprinkled onto my face.
Not cool.
Unfortunately, since we've made the switch from crib to big-girl bed, Miss Priss is now free to get up and wander into our room...at 6:00 a.m....every morning.
Not cool, indeed.
So, Hubby and I got the brilliant idea to buy Miss Priss a little TV/DVD player and set it up in her playroom. Our plan was to teach her how to turn on the television in the hopes that she would bypass our bedroom and maybe, just maybe go into her playroom and watch television for about 30 more precious minutes every morning.
The only problem was we didn't really have a safe place to put the TV. Also, I also wanted a stand with wheels because television in our house is a privilege and I wanted to be able to remove it easily from her room if we have to. But, of course, I wanted to pay absolutely nothing for it and I wanted it to be pink.
I didn't realize what a tall order that would be. So I hit the thrift stores and here is what I found...
Well, it had wheels and it was a TV stand...two out of three ain't bad.
BEHOLD THE POWER OF PAINT!!!
What kid wouldn't want to give mommy a break and watch a little TV in the morning with a set-up like this?
Oh well, a mom can dream, can't she?

You need to invest in this clock. I learned about it from an FB friend and I'm seriously thinking about getting it because Pookie Doo is such an early riser and still has no concept of time (I figure it gives us something to work on over the summer). You set the time and it gives kids an 'ok' time to get up or come out their room or whatever you want to tell them.

BTW - the cart looks awesome!
I am SO loving the pink tv stand - Very cute! Good luck getting in some extra sleep in the morning - hopefully, this will do the trick!
That pink tv stand is super cute. What a great idea, I hope it works for you.
