Barbie Dolls
As I think back to my childhood and the many memories that I made over the years, I recall those times that my sister and I would sit for hours and hours and play Barbie Dolls. I, like many other young adventurous girls, had a true love for the beautiful doll that represented whoever I wanted her to be at the moment. One day she would be a doctor and the next day she would be a teacher. One day she would be dressed for a night on the town and the next as a beautiful princess. Countless days were spent with my Barbie dolls as I would enter an imaginative world and play for hours.
As a mother of two beautiful girls, I couldn’t wait for the day when they would be old enough to develop the very same passion that I had for the dolls. In fact, before my first daughter was even born, I made a very special trip to the store to purchase what would be her “first” Barbie. As I walked down the aisle that was dedicated solely to Barbie, memories of my childhood were quickly set before me. How my sister and I would have loved to travel across that aisle when we were younger! Tears came to my eyes as I realized at that very moment, I would inspire a love for Barbie in the life of my very own child. I wanted a special doll for this occasion; one that she could cherish for a lifetime. After careful observation, I chose the doll that I felt represented who my precious child would be. The Barbie Collector Couture Angel would be perfect for her. She was, after all, my little angel. At the age of 6, her face still brightens at the sight of the special Barbie Doll that was purchased just for her on that special night. The Barbie Collector Couture Angel sits high on a shelf overlooking where she sleeps at night. We talk often about the doll and how she will one day be able to pass her down to her very own daughter.

Barbie has a very special place in my heart. I still take the opportunity to get down and play with my girls when they are enjoying their very own imaginary world with Barbie. I’m continuing to make memories that I can reflect back on in the future.
