Lalaloopsy Littles, Little Sister Dolls
Sister is a word that gets tossed around a lot in this household. To tell the truth, my girls are somewhat obsessed on the topic.

Maplelea Girls All-Canadian Vinyl Play Doll

Mini Lalaloopsy Doll, revisted.
A while back I had the chance to check out one of the cute Mini Lalaloopsy Dolls, and it didn't go over all that well with my then three-year old Rainbow. However, I had a feeling an older kid would appreciate the doll, so I found her a home with my friend Kim's daughter. Now, here is Kim with a guest review on their experiences with the doll: When I found out for my … [Read more...]
Mini Lalaloopsy Dolls { Review }
When I was given the chance to review a Mini Lalaloopsy Doll, I snapped at it, because, well they look so darn cute! How could I say no? The Mini Lalaloopsy Dolls are small all plastic versions of the Lalaloopsy Dolls. The main difference between the Minis and their larger counterparts is that instead of removeable cloth costumes they have plastic molded clothes. They are … [Read more...]

Soft & Cuddly Blabla Doll from Giving Gifts
Last week I lucked out and won a Blabla doll from Giving Gifts. I let my Rainbow pick which one she wanted. Personally I would have went with this guy (Peeko), but she chose Lee Lee Plum. If I had any sense I would have picked out a Blabla doll and then tucked it away for a Christmas gift. As it was though, Rainbow had a blast picking out her doll and waiting for her to … [Read more...]
