When I was a little girl, I remember playing with my Barbie collection for hours on end. I had the house, the car, and basically the works! The most special Barbie for me was the one my younger brother bought me with the money he earned as a model in a Chinese New Year fashion show. With his earnings, he bought himself a toy and Tropical Barbie for me. I’ll never forget his selflessness. What a sweet kid brother.
That was so many moons ago. I find it hard to believe that Moms and daughters have been playing Barbie together for over 50 years! My little girl is now five years old and received her first Barbie from a friend on her birthday two years ago. She and her friends enjoy mixing and matching clothing and creating new “looks” for Barbie. It’s a regular fashion show here all the time.
Little One’s quite quirky and has a very unique sense of style. I used to try to encourage her to wear outfits that were better “put together”. At four years old, she told me, “Mama, you’re squashing my creativity!”
In keeping with Little One’s “spirited” outfits, Barbie also has some interesting outfits that Little One has put together.
Little One has demonstrated a love of fashion at an early age. She loves playing dress-up and even chooses her own clothes for school. Between rigging up outfits for herself and for Barbie, Barbie My Dreams is a fun spot for Little One.

This was such a neat contest! The winner must have been ecstatic!
Who doesn’t secretly still love Barbie? It’s a classic. Great contest!
Pssst! Dani, you’re right 🙂
Wow this brings back so many memories… I still have all of my barbies from many moons ago and my daughter has her own little collection now to. Between that and her love to create I need to check this out. Great contest!
Yes! Check out the contest, Suzanne! It’s a really good one!
Such a fun contest! My little one loves Barbie and this will be great for her
Gingermommy, imagine winning that contest for your LO?!
Barbies seem timeless, I loved them when I was young and my daughter adored them when she was little. I hear you with the constant fashion show…that was our house exactly! The contest sounds amazing…will pass it on to my younger nieces!
{PS…your brother is the best!!}
Monica: My brother was so sweet. I wish I were a nicer sister to him when we were growing up 🙁 I was much nicer to our youngest brother. Ahhh…the things we learn when we’re much older…
Ok… first of all…. your little one is the cutest / sweetest thing ever. I love everything that comes out of her mouth. She’s wise beyond her years 🙂
Second of all… we had the same childhood. I also had the barbie house, car, the works! It was my favourite thing in the world to play with and I always had friends over because everyone wanted to play with it as well. Alas, my brothers didn’t spend their $ on me 😉
What a great contest…. would it be considered inappropriate if my mom and I entered as I don’t have a young daughter? lol
LOL!!! Love it! xo
I loved my Barbies and they were all I played with! My DD8 plays with them but not as much as I remember doing. Will have to sit down and check out Barbie my dreams with her, sounds like something she’s like!
The contest is pretty cool, isn’t it, Tammy? 🙂
