Our Generations Dolls: Spend Valentine’s Day with Sandie Wall of Hearts

February 1, 2013 by Momstart 2 Comments

Our Generation sent us some dolls and accessories over the holidays and they made our holiday gift guide. Why? because they are the perfect alternative to American Girl dolls. They are at a much more affordable price point and still make girls quite happy. In fact, my daughter at first thought they were the American Girl dolls. Our Generation isn’t just about a doll or a book or even a fantastic miniature tea set. It’s about girls growing up together and creating the narrative of an extraordinary generation. And parents who understand the pressures of being a girl more than any generation of parents before them. It’s about a website where a girl can weigh in on issues that are important to her. Or spend hours creating the next new look for a fashion-forward doll. Or crafting a heart that will represent her story on a Wall of Hearts that represents the story of her entire generation. In honor of Valentine’s Day Our Generations sent our contributor Lynn a doll to review with her girls. Here is her review:DSC_0355

By Lynn:

Well we were lucky to receive the new SANDIE doll made by Our Generation the other day. Oh what a cute doll! I’ve never been much of a girly girl myself and was admittedly a little confused about what type of doll to get my little girls and when. And would they play with them? DSC_0366

This doll is super cute at 18”. She comes with a pretty outfit, including bag!, The skirt and top are Velcro closed so little fingers can dress and undress her while they play. There’s a little booklet showing other outfits you can get for her, my 3 year old is already asking for the “farm one”. DSC_0360

Sandie, the new Our Generation doll, is being released especially for Valentine’s Day. Her bag is heart shaped and has little heart details on her outfit! What impressed me too was the box Sandie came in. It is very sturdy and pretty, but!, you can also us the box as a gorgeous wrapping for the doll as a gift! (With helpful instructions on the back).OG-Dolls-mkt

Another fun feature Our Generation has set up on their website is called “Wall of Hearts” where children can draw and accessorize heart pictures for someone they love! Ok my disclaimer: My 5 year old can read well and is extremely computer proficient so she just flew through using this site on her own with adding hearts and drawing. So an adult would figure it out easily but children may need some assistance, especially under 5 year olds – depending on their computer ability – but they can still choose pictures and where they should go with you! A fun activity you two can do together!

The heart picture is published on the site – you can go online afterward and search their name, then you’ll find the picture they made! Oh and! Our Generation uses some of the hearts created on their website to decorate their packaging.

 

What a fun way to celebrate Valentine’s Day!

Yep it’s free, go check it out now!

About Lynn:

I met Lynn in MOMS Club and she has two children. One of which is the same age as my daughter and they love to giggle and play together. Lynn Hooper is also a local Mary Kay Consultant while also being a full time mom. “A lot of what the business stands for is true to my heart. Mary Kay Inc. has a foundation that donates funds to help end domestic violence and also funds research into cancers that affect women. Mary Kay also has what’s called "The Golden Rule" which means God (faith) first, family second and business third. A great principal for me and nice to know I am part of a team that believes in this too.”

Celebrate Little Mommy Day Any Day

June 6, 2012 by Momstart 12 Comments

By Emily:

Is it just my kid or are there other little girls out there that go overboard when it comes to hosting a playdate? What can start out as a simple get together with a friend or two, will usually turn into a themed party complete with an itinerary, snack menu, and music. I shudder to think what my daughter will have in store for her wedding day! But I honestly do love her enthusiasm and I’m amazed at all the entertaining ideas she comes up with.Dolls and Clothing

For our most recent playdate, we decided to check out the easy to use, Little Mommy Day Facebook application (Facebook.com/littlemommy) created by Mattel. Mattel’s Little Mommy dolls are a big hit in our home and the new Facebook application takes the fun one step further by organizing everything you need to create a special Little Mommy Day for your child. Parents can access a fun activity kit of DIY printables, as well as find great tips from Rosie Pope, host of Bravo’s “Pregnant in Heels”! Rosie Pope recently hosted her own Little Mommy Day in New York City and you can also read all about the event on the Little Mommy Day Facebook page.Little Mommy Logo

Little Mommy Dolls are specifically designed for girls as young as 18 months, and provide products that offer play for all stages of a little girl’s life. Every little girl loves to pretend that she’s a real mommy, and Little Mommy brings this nurturing play to life through a world of adorable baby dolls and accessories. We were given the wonderful opportunity to review the Sweet as Me Dolls which are the toddler stage of the Little Mommy doll line. My daughters really think these are their coolest dolls! We received the TuTu Cute and the Oh So Boho dolls, each with beautiful shiny hair, bright eyes and colorful clothing. Each doll has her own accessory piece and unique shoes. We were also fortunate to receive two additional outfits which my daughters have mixed and matched into their own stylish creations.Print Outs

To get ready for our Little Mommy Day playdate, we printed out Little Mommy invitations, birth certificates, scrapbook kit and matching card game. My older daughter got to do all the cutting and my younger one helped with the pasting. We used a simple and yummy recipe idea found on the Little Mommy Facebook page and the girls got to make their own graham cracker sandwich snacks. The set up was just as much fun as the playtime!

If your child loves being a little mommy to her dolls, I highly recommend checking out the Little Mommy Facebook page and hosting your own Little Mommy Day any day!Snuggle Dolly

Little Mommy dolls can be purchased at major retailers and online. For more information visit: www.littlemommy.com.

About Emily:

Emily is also very active in the local MOMS CLUB. She raises chickens and has 2 shih tzus. Her daughter Caitlyn attends Montessori school and she hates housecleaning, loves wine and enjoys dining out. She would love to find a cure for the depression and anxiety she has dealt with on and off over the past 10 years, just like me. She is an amazing mom and friend.
