My dolls were my favorite items to play with~!!
My favorite toy was Jane West and of course, her horse Flame. I loved anything that had to do with horses.
This sounds fascinating. I try to recycle, donate my extras to charity and buy from thrift stores but I know that I can do a lot better.
What a great review, when my boys were little( now they are 32 & 36) we had to do the best we could with clothes, thank God I had sons that were 4 yrs apart and could pass things down and kids nowadays don’t do anything, I had chores growing up and my sons had chores , it is important kids learn how to be humble but smart
My favorite was my Baby Alive doll. I waited and waited to get her too!
