A well-chosen gift can make someone, like my son Mark, very happy!
Hello!
We've got some wonderful things to make your kids smile! In our family business, we search out quality, educational toys that are great fun, plus teach your children.

17% OffA Real Shopping Cart for Little Ones
When we went searching for a sturdy grocery shop for kids' play, we wanted one made by the manufacturer of real adult grocery carts so it would be sturdy and non-breakable, and here it is!

This real shopping cart will last a lifetime, made of heavy gauge steel with front, spring-loaded wheels that pivot all the way around! Of course, there is a baby seat for your child's teddy bear.

view | The Sweetest Doll! Every year I do a most-thorough search! It takes me weeks of research. I look at every website, in every specialty toy store . . . everywhere.
What am I looking for? The perfect doll, of course. A sweet, innocent, non-Barbie that a little girl can snuggle and sleep with and dress and rock to sleep and be a mother to. A soft-bodied dolly—not with a hard face. Amazingly, there are not that many dolls that fit those specifications. But I found just what I was sleuthing for!
May I present to you the sweetest doll on the market! She is 18" tall, which means she'll fit easily in standard doll clothes. She is super-easy to dress—a very important factor when you are considering happy play for your little one. She wears an easy to remove top and jumper that use velcro closings. She is snuggly and soft as can be, which is crucial if you are going to take her to bed. Her hair is full and soft. And she radiates sweetness!
Lovely little details make her adorable, such as a charming little button nose, embroidered eyes and lips, bows in her hair, embroidered needlework on her jumper. Another detail that I always look for and appreciate is that she is wearing permanent undies, with a flower on the front of them. A nice touch!
And she wears removeable Mary Jane shoes—now that is very important to a girl! Buy her fuzzy socks below (in the Booties & Bottle set) to warm up her toe-sies at bedtime.
A pink satin and fluff ballerina outfit is available for more exciting dress-up options! It even has ribbon-tied ballet slippers!
This sweet doll fits wonderfully in our little stroller. And she comes in 4 different hair and skin tones, so every little miss in your family can be delighted! Choose from Blonde, Brunette, Redhead or Dark. The Dark doll has the cutest curly hair and dark tan skin tone. 18", surface washable.

Hi!
I am Diane Hopkins, mother of 7 children (ages 14 to 34) whom I have had the privilege of homeschooling over the past 23 years. I'm a mom, just like you, and have those fabulous days and those not-so-good days like we all do. My hope in writing is to share experiences, and hopefully we can encourage one another in this wonderful, intense adventure of childraising--that is really what homeschooling is, after all.
Hoping to help, if I can!
Love, Diane
