The Adorable Kinders are very high quality soft-dolls (true rag dolls) exclusively designed for GRANZA, Inc. by famed artisan Aranza Zamora.

The fundamental theme of the Adorable Kinders collection is an active group of kindergarten friends.  Each student has been designed with a different personality in mind.

The name of each character begins with a unique letter from the English alphabet. ‘A’ is Alise, ‘B’ is Brittany, ‘C’ is Christy, and so on.

I can remember my first doll when I was a little girl and I know how special they can be. Here is your chance to get that special doll for your little girl. Adorable Kinders are sweet 18″ rag dolls that are durable and washable. There are 26 different dolls to choose from for both boys and girls.

My daughter received ‘Mari’. She is so adorable. I have to tell all of you something funny – my 4yo has imaginary friends. One is named Emily and another is a teacher – Miss Mari. Now when I chose ‘Mari’ to review I didn’t even think about her imaginary friend. So when the doll was delivered and I opened her up – it was then that I realized ‘Miss Mari’ lives. Kind of creepy. You can see on her face how happy and excited she is about this doll. The clothing is removable and washable. You can also purchase other outfits.

Here are the highlights:

• Made in the USA
• Doll and clothing are washable
• 100% safe for children 2 years and up
• Stuffed with non-allergenic polyester

Adorable Kinders are very well made and will last a long time. These will be one of those keepsake items.

About BABALU, INC: Babalu, Inc. was launched in 2006 to better a classic toy tradition with the introduction of the FeltTales brand. Its founder, Blair Everett, has an exceptional 30-year career in the toy business and he brings that knowledge and commitment to the growing classic toy product with improving play and quality.

In June 2009, Babalu acquired WJ Fantasy, a 25-year-old toy company specializing in a distinctive selection of nesting blocks, toys, advent calendars and children’s books. WJ Fantasy and Babalu will operate under two separate divisions until 2010, when they will be joined.

I was set the cutest set of drum building blocks called “Let’s Play Drums! Building Blocks”. Here is some info below:

5 fun-filled drums depict people and places around the world – Early America, Asia, Africa, Native America and South America. These drums introduce children to rhythm, as well as to daily life in cultures and times both near and far. Children will spend hours of play time with these soft-sounding, yet solid, drums that can be played together, or one at a time. The drums stack and nest for added fun, and they all conveniently fit into an attractive carrying case, making them easy to carry. Drumsticks are included. 8 3/4″ diameter, 5 Drums. Age: 3+

Check out the video of my little guy playing with them. He loves them and plays with them daily. They are very well made and the price is very reasonable for all their products. You can’t go wrong!

CONGRATS!

Recently we went to our local Renaissance Festival and my girls went a ride that was similar to bungee jumping. Check out the videos below to see them. They had such a blast!

I am a mom through and through. I am always looking for things to show off the fact that I am a mom – shirts, jewelry, etc. Well, I have found the most unique item that also holds alot of meaning – Imprecious! Imprecious is a fingerprint charm jewelry that shows off your children to all in a very precious manner.

About Imprecious: The mission of Imprecious™ is to provide jewelry that is both beautiful and uniquely meaningful to the wearer. Every person has a unique energetic presence which can positively influence those around us, and particularly those we love. It is effortlessly delivered through touch.

By capturing the one-of-a-kind beauty of a fingerprint in delicate silver charms, Imprecious™ intends  to promote the wearing and sharing of these physical and energetic imprints of those we love for the good of one another and the greater good of the planet as a whole.

We intend to do so by creating heirloom pieces to wear forever and pass on, to always keep it interesting by providing custom pieces and thereby expanding the line with unique styles.

As we grow we intend to do so with responsibility for our “footprint” and our community. We make the commitment to reduce, recycle and reuse wherever possible.

Officially, Imprecious is really just me, Robin Foley, but in reality it has been a collaboration with several people, some of them paid, most of them not, lending their talents and time to help bring the vision to fruition. For this I am truly grateful and truly blessed.

Imprecious is the most beautiful silver jewelry made from fingerprints. My necklace is a cascading design with 4 charms made from the fingerprints of my children. It is so easy to have one made. A kit is sent that tells you exactly what you need to do. You just follow the instructions, make your fingerprints and then send it back. There is plenty for error so no worries. Here is how it works. You can choose from several designs – necklace, bracelet and earrings. As you can see from my picture on the left, I chose a cascading necklace design. This design shows off all the  fingerprint charms beautifully.

I don’t know about all of you but I always have a hard time picking gifts out for my mom and mother-in-law. Imprecious makes the perfect gift for that hard to buy for person. Robin is a doll to work with. If you have something special in mind just ask and I know she can help you. Imprecious is the best mom jewelry you could ever find! Well worth the price and it will be the best forever gift anyone could ever receive.

Have a pet (dog, cat, etc)? Imprecious can even make a charm for your furry friend. Same process. How awesome is that! So even those with four-legged children can join in and show off their children.

Check out Robin blog and all the blog features she has to offer along with blog giveaways!

Prize:
1 lucky reader will win a single charm necklace from Imprecious!!!
