Amazing “Athletic” Superhero Dolls I Can’t Wait to Hand My Kids….

October 23, 2015 by Deanna Tousignant 2 Comments

File this one under Mattel dolls I really want to give my girls... Check out these beauties: Here's why they rock: * Look at their feet. They are all wearing sneakers or kick butt boots, no silly high heels here. * Look at their outfits. They are modestly clad in super hero uniforms that would actual be practical for, you know, being a super hero. * Look at their … [Read more...]

Lottie Doll: Not Your Typical Fashion Doll

August 16, 2014 by aeryn lynne Leave a Comment

These days we all work so hard to build up and empower our kids to be strong and confident. Lottie dolls are trying to empower little girls through their dolls.  These are not just another fashion doll. They are striving to be a wholesome doll alternative for children aged 3-9, and Lottie is the perfect size for little ones to carry around! One key thing you will notice … [Read more...]

Lalaloopsy Littles, Little Sister Dolls

July 30, 2012 by Deanna Tousignant Leave a Comment

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. Whenever we look at families of objects I invariably get asked, "But where's the sister?" Anytime there are two of something sitting around, say two stuffed bears for example, they are immediately tagged as Big Sister, Little Sister. So I really … [Read more...]

Maplelea Girls All-Canadian Vinyl Play Doll

July 19, 2012 by Deanna Tousignant Leave a Comment

A little over a year ago we received a Maplelea Girls catalogue with my daughter's Chirp magazine. These Canadian play dolls looked amazing. They captured my attention immediately, and that of my daughter as well. I knew that Rainbow was too young for Maplelea Girls at the moment, but I was definitely leaning towards getting her one once she was a bit older. My only hesitation … [Read more...]

Lilikin & Friends, Unique and Adorable Dolls {Review}

June 23, 2012 by Deanna Tousignant Leave a Comment

  This is Lilikin (smushed and in hiding) and his friends Eleven and Mollycoddle. They are adorable and much loved! So I've finally figured out the trick to getting my kids to name their toys, apparently all I need to do is insist they already have a name. Lilikin a.k.a. MyMojoDoll or MyMojoCat, not to be confused with the real live … [Read more...]

Review Recap – How Stuff Stands Up Over Time…

January 6, 2012 by Deanna Tousignant Leave a Comment

As a blogger who does product reviews, I usually have a chance to try a product out for a week or two before I write up a review about it.  A few weeks, or a few months down the road I often feel like I have a thing or two I'd like to add to my original review.  Things I really feel like I should share with you guys, like I was wrong don't put that in the washing machine! So … [Read more...]

Mini Lalaloopsy Doll, revisted.

September 25, 2011 by Deanna Tousignant Leave a Comment

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 }

April 29, 2011 by Deanna Tousignant 10 Comments

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...]

What are you putting in your Easter Basket?

April 7, 2011 by Deanna Tousignant 4 Comments

April's here and Easter is fast approaching.  What are you going to tuck in your little one's basket? My husband grew up with a childhood tradition of receiving a new stuffed rabbit each year in his Easter basket.  I love that idea, so we’ve adopted it.  This years stuffed rabbit for G-Girl will be this Maileg beauty that I bought and set aside for her. As I've mentioned … [Read more...]

Soft & Cuddly Blabla Doll from Giving Gifts

October 1, 2010 by Deanna Tousignant Leave a Comment

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...]
