Ah! Just looked up the NaNoWriMo website. Can’t wait to see how it all turns out. 50,000 words? You can do it.

My 8 year old isn’t into American Girl dolls but she is obsessed with Polly Pocket! We have thousands of little rubber pieces of Polly Pocket clothes all over the house and mostly in the vacuum cleaner!

Loved the comment about the parcel of Christmas trees! I’m suddenly picturing a tree adorned with little ornamental targets!!

I’m in the process of writing one (hence the NaNoWriMo banner on the right) — can’t complain I don’t have the time anymore!

And wouldn’t it be funny if this post ends up with the most comments?!?!

So as a mother of all boys, I kind of wish for this type of outing. Clothes, dolls, etc. I was a tomboy growing up but it’d be fun to live vicariously through a daughter. Boys are cheaper despite the wheeled toys (and that never changes even as men).

Jenn,
You need to write a book! You’d be a hit.

I wish. If they paid me in dolls or doll clothes, I could at least take care of my daughter for Christmas!

They were the main sponsor for Working… With Kids for a while, but I think that was just a coincidence.

Darn it, I just realized another downside to getting laid off… I’m no longer going to get all the review copies of American Girl books and videos. For that matter, NO review copies of anything. And how am I going to get through late fall/early winter without access to all the movie critic’s Oscar screeners? Now I’m REALLY depressed.

AHAHAGreaterGrafton…you lose your job….and now you’re …shamelessly …promoting American Doll on your blog. I think you need to fess up here…are you on their payroll?

Bob C., any chance you would be up for a little hunting? I know a great parcel of land with pretty christmas trees and all.

She’s the perfect age for Bitty Baby!

She and Bitty can have MATCHING OUTFITS, perfect for Christmas pictures!

Yeah, I’ve done it… don’t judge me…but I think most of the time I’ve bought them (and resold them) on eBay.

Um, yeah, how ’bout those Patriots?

I have one (only 3.5), and I think that’s why I’m about to vomit.
