Wednesday, November 25th, 2009

I love to watch my daughter play mommy with her dolls. She knows how to give them pretend baths and push them in the stroller. Once it is time for her to go to bed though not all of the dolls are fun to take to bed with her. Many of her ”babies” have plastic feet and arms and most have a plastic face. The dolls from GRANZE Inc. called Adorable Kinders are all soft, all over, and with 26 to choose from {one named for each letter of the alphabet} there is sure to be one your little mommy or little daddy will love to play with and even fall asleep with!

Like all of her Kindergarten friends she comes with an Internet key-code that may be used to register online at the Adorable Kinders School. Kids can play educational games with their dolls and can even move up grade levels when all the games are completed successfully.

My favorite part about these unique dolls are how soft they are. They are all 100% soft cloth rag dolls and the dolls and their clothes are all machine washable! For all of the little mommies and daddies who love to dress their dolls more outfits and accessories can be ordered from Adorable Kinders. I assure you that theses are not like any dolls that can be found in mainstream box stores. They are unique, sweet and will be loved and cuddled by the little one you give them to for years to come!

Dandelion

Thursday, November 19th, 2009

You are going to flip when you read about these products, the first ones I want to show you are so cool! Well, how they are made is sooo cool! Talk about all natural, how much more natural can you get…tableware products for your babies and toddlers made out of CORN! That’s as earth-friendly as it gets for sure!

There’s a couple “big” words describing the process so I’m going to let Dandelion explain:

“Really! We use a unique corn (PLA) formula. Unlike conventional plastic, which is largely made from petroleum, our bioplastic is primarily made from corn! Polylactic acid (PLA) requires significantly less fossil resources, and generates far fewer green house gases than conventional plastic. And corn is a renewable and sustainable resource.”

I love it! We’ve sampled the Danelion tableware products and are 100% pleased! All are perfectly sized for my toddler in mind, he loves the independence and Mom loves knowing that what he’s eating with and eating off of it safe for him and his foods!

Plenty of other Organic items at Dandelion, including the fabulous totes above plus toys, rattles, and more! The roomy organic tote is made from 100% organic cotton canvas and features plenty of space, pockets, and “green” graphics. Time to make the switch from your non-earth friendly diaper bag or purse to this stylish tote!

I’m loving the Teething Blanket above, that would make the best gift topper for showers or the holidays! So much for baby to do on one little blanket, and yep, organic cotton of course so no worries there! Check out all the other earth-friendly products Dandelion has to offer, you will be pleased with their superb quality and of course what they stand for! Just another way for you to continue on the path to a greener lifestyle for all areas of your life.

American Girl

Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009

Did you grow up adoring these dolls, are your little girls obsessed with them already, even as a parent don’t you just love them?? As an “American girl” growing up these days, they all know about and cherish their beloved American Girl dolls; they are a constant in homes near and far, loved by both young and old. We wanted to introduce you all today to the newest family member in the American Girl collection with hope that Rebecca will start the Hanukkah celebrations early this year!

Okay, let’s meet Rebeeca. The newest Historical Character in the American Girl collection, and she’s a beauty! As a girl growing up in New York City in 1914, Rebecca celebrates treasured traditions passed down through her Russian-Jewish family. With a little creativity, Rebecca learns how to stay true to her heart as she follows her dreams in the big city. It’s never to early to teach your children history, and what better way than through something they love. All the historical characters from American Girl not only entertain your girls for endless hours, but think of the educational value their books and traditions give. Rejoice in ALL the holidays this season, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwansaa, New Years, and so many more…no matter what you celebrate, teach your children about them all. Culture them in ways we never were. It’s a blessing to know that companies such as American Girl put in such effort to “expand the horizons” of their customers with their dolls, like our Rebecca here! Trust me, we have a sample of her, she’s gorgeous and so worth it! {Take a look at all the Historical Characters, from 1764 and Kaya the Nez Perce Girl to 1974 with Julie & Ivy, Creative 70’s Girls!}

The Just Like You collection gives your little ladies a chance to find a doll that matches their personality, their unique spirit and look.

Follow your inner star! A brilliant tag-line to inspire little girls. What do parents love most about American Girl? For me, even as a mother of boys, it’s a joy seeing appropriateness in the clothing and accessories, and the dolls themselves. As I shop for my niece and my little girl cousins and friends, it’s scary seeing what Barbie and the BRATS dolls look like now a days! American Girl is quite modern, yet quite wholesome and sophisticated, but still totally age appropriate. Even as an adult, I’m envious of little girls and their American Girl dolls! I could still sit and play with them for hours!! And the accessories, holy smokes! Furniture too! After looking through the newest catalog {which took me, a 31 year old woman, hours too look through…hours of girlie enjoyment} I was prepared to give my niece the best Christmas of her life!

Meet Chrissa, 2009 Girl of the Year! Chrissa finds courage to stand up for herself, and others!

Your precious little girl will not only have a pal for life, she’s also ALWAYS learn a life lesson when reading the American Girl stories and interacting {through healthy play and imagination} with her BFF, such as with Chrissa! Again, as always, I am quite jealous of you mommies with girls. The holidays will be truly fun and amazing if you share American Girl with them! I would LOVE to hear any stories you have about American Girl in your home…comment away if you wish! And head on over and do some shopping…I’m on my way over to get some accessories for our Rebecca…like these…
