Barbie My Favorite Barbie: The Original Teenage Fashion Model Barbie Doll
Most children have a place in their heads where they go to when they day dream. For some children this is a magical place, where the grass on a hill is not green but constantly changing shades of reds, blues, mauve and green. Trees can be every colour – orange, red or purple. The sky is sometimes yellow, the rivers run in the colours of soft drinks and soda pop.
Personally, I’d find living in that kaleidoscope world forever a bit hard to take… but! If you’d like to help create a fantasy land for your child – and perhaps get away from the “Barbie” pinks and purples or “space” concept consider this.
Choose two similar tone paints as the base wall colours – a mid strength colour, not too pale. Colours to choose from include lolly pink, Wedgwood blue, lavender (make sure it is a “warm” lavender not a “cool” or “grey” tone), or warm rusty gold. Read more...

Like everyone I’ve had one of those weekends where I somehow was so busy I couldn’t do anything else yet got nothing done. I don’t know how weekends like that happy but it happened to me. I had planned to get a new outfit for a wedding I am attending next weekend, presents for my nieces birthday which is this Friday, a new TV as mine had given up with life and a voucher for my work colleagues 10th wedding anniversary.
There is no way that I will be able to get to several different shops and find the best possible products that fit my criteria. The best solution was to purchase these products online in my lunch hour. The only down side to this is that I then have to pay for several different postage costs and keep track of when they arrive. Nightmare!
I found several websites that did this all under one roof and had excellent reviews. All my Christmas’s had come at once. One postage cost, one package to receive and one site to search through. Read more...

History
1970s80s
The first Baby Alive doll was introduced by Kenner. It could be fed food packets mixed with water, and came with a bottle, diapers, and feeding spoon. The spoon would be inserted into its mouth, and a lever on its back pushed to have it chew the food. The food would move through her and end up in her diaper; this version did not speak, so you had to check the diaper a few moments after feeding.
1990s
In 1992 the first talking Baby Alive doll was produced. It was fed in the same manner, but swallowed automatically without the need for a lever, and used a potty instead of a diaper. There were sensors located inside the doll to detect what stage the food was at, and trigger its voice to say “I have to go potty” or “All done now”. These dolls did not sell well due to the loud gear noises and her “deep adult voice”. It was later discontinued, and a non-speaking baby was released in 1995 with snacks and juice boxes.
Present
After Hasbro took over Kenner, Hasbro redesigned Baby Alive and in 2006 released a more realistic speaking doll, with additional accessories sold separately. The doll (and subsequent versions) came in Caucasian, African American, and Hispanic skin tones.
Sip ‘N Slurp- A baby which when her tummy is squeezed she “drinks” from her juice cup with a straw attached and “wets” her diaper. She also came in either Caucasian, African American, or Hispanic skin tones. Sip n Slurp birthday doll released in 2008 is the same principle as sip n’ slurp, but her birthday can be celebrated everyday because she can “blow” on her party blower and “blow” out a candle on her cupcake she has a cup with attached straw just like the sip n slurp.
Wets ‘N Wiggles- This doll comes in either a girl or a boy and is given juice and lets you know its wet by crying and wiggling and when diaper is opened it may surprise you-so watch out.
Pat ‘N Burp- A newborn baby that “drinks” from her bottle and when pat or squeezed, she “burps”. She can come in numerous skin and eye colors.
Sip ‘N Snooze- A baby that gets “sleepy” as you feed her a bottle and gets snuggled when she falls asleep. She can come in blonde or brunette hair colors.
Baby Alive learns to potty- A new version where the baby gets fed and is given a bottle and tells you when she has to go potty, but she has a diaper just in case and says she “oops! I had an accident”
Baby Alive go Bye-Bye- A doll that is designed for travel by having a papoose and baby carrier in one unit.
Criticism
On January 22, 2009, Baby Alive Learns to Potty was nominated by the Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood for its 2009 TOADY (Toys Oppressive And Destructive to Young children) Award. Saying it will “Ruin your girl’s creativity” and also criticizing the cost of refills. It lost, however to one of the latest Barbie dolls. descarado

Description
This modern adaptation of the holiday classic casts Barbie in two roles, Clara and the Sugarplum Princess, as she embarks on a musical fantasy adventure for girls of all ages. New York City Ballet’s Peter Martins choreographed this wonderful animated film, with music by The London Symphony Orchestra, and featuring the voice of Tim Curry as the Mouse King. Amazon.com
Look who became a star. Barbie comes to life in this computer-animated Christmas tale that quite naturally takes the longtime favorite doll into a new realm. The plot is a slight variation on the traditional ballet based on Tchaikovsky’s music. Instead of being in an open-ended dream, Barbie and her escort, the Nutcracker (soon to be Ken, natch), are on an adventurous quest. Along the way there are more creatures and derring-do than in the original. The sole known voice talent, Tim Curry, has a good old time as the Mouse King, and the animated dancing is gracefully adapted from New York City Ballet choreography. A few clever characters, bright animation, and wonderful music should entrance any Barbie fans ages 3 to 9. The 78-minute feature debuted on video shortly before playing on CBS in 2001. –Doug Thomas Read more...
The industry for pet supplies has expanded in an exponential manner to cater to the growing demand of pet lovers. The days of canned or dried pet food with a colored collar are no longer the norm. Cats have given up hunting for their food and have become domesticated. A mouse dancing on its head wouldn’t even bring a twitch of interest.
These items are readily available in wholesale, retail as well as specialty pet stores. Other than giant bags of dried food and kitty litter stacked up to ceiling heights, there are vitamins and food supplements to ensure shiny and healthy fur coats. Since a good-looking pet complements a good-looking owner, a vast array of shampoos, conditioners and anti-flea products line the shelves to cater to all sorts of furry creatures’ needs. Accessories such as brushes, combs, ribbons and other decorative bits serve to give the final touch. For more ambitious owners who sometimes border on mania, cute outfits are available to make your animal stand up in the crowd. Read more...

When choosing kids’ bedding, your first step should be to consider your child’s tastes. After all, a child’s room is often an extension of her personality. Does your daughter like a particular color? Does she prefer a certain style? If you follow your child’s lead, she will lead you to the perfect kids’ bedding.
Kids’ bedding is available in a variety of designs, from cartoon characters to outer space. When selecting a design you must consider longevity. While your daughter might love Strawberry Shortcake this week, you have to think about the future as well. If you don’t mind replacing the bedding frequently, character bedding is fine; otherwise consider themes or patterns that can grow with your child.
Most children’s books, television, and movie characters are available on kids’ bedding (Barbie, Bratz, Gl Joe, Batman, Spiderman, Disney Princess, Lion King, Yu-Gi-Oh, Scooby Doo, Tom and Jerry, Mickey Mouse, Tweety, Bugs Bunny, Simpsons,etc. ). Before committing yourself to expensive character bedding, try to decide if your child’s love of the character is here to stay or just a passing phase. Read more...
