My Thoughts on GOTY 2021, and more.

 My Thoughts on Girl of the Year 2021

Here is my thoughts on American Girl 's Girl of the Year 2021 Kira Bailey. 

I like her and her sets and outfits. I really wanted to get the wildlife rescue set (the one with the wallaby) but probably won't because of the price. I like her outfits, but the only one I would definitely buy soon if possible is the koala pajamas. They're really cute and I think Ellie would love them. 

I will probably do some DIYs from Always Dolls such as the wildlife clinic (Which I'll probably turn into a veterinary clinic & doll doctor instead. 

I hope to find some fun fabric to try to diy some Kira themed stuff. 

A New Addition to the Doll Space

I was able to create a fun kitchen & living/sitting room to my doll space. It's walls are just tri-fold cardboard displays that can be folded up if I ever need to store it away. I added a fireplace made from a craft kit box, a couch made from a shoebox, a little coffee table and a fridge for their food. I have themed the kitchen to Blaire Wilson's restaurant and used the stuff from the Farm & Garden diy set from last year. There isn't a dining table yet though so I'll either have to use the doll desk when they eat or figure out a DIY for a small table that can be stored easily. 

Right now I'm decorating the space for Valentine's day. I have a surprise for Ellie that came that she will love!

Update: Sneak Peek: Doll Summer Camp - Quarantine Edition.

I'm going to hopefully start posting my Doll Summer Camp posts through August. I was hoping to do it sooner but other things got in the way. Here's the themes I'm going for and the details. 

Since everyone else has been stuck at home the past few months, Lily and Ellie will do these camp activities in their own bedroom or kitchen. Here's what is hopefully planned.

Credits to Brandy's Happy Home; American Girl Ideas / Totally Rudy.

The first set of posts will be STEM Camp inspired; The second set will be On the Farm; The third set will be Historical themed (each post set in a certain era); The fourth will be Around the World with each themed to a certain place; And finally the fifth and final will be Back to School, to kick off Doll School Themed posts. 

Coming Soon!

I've got some great posts planned for this month! 

1: My Doll Summer Camp posts. Except instead of an ordinary summer camp, it's taking place at my doll's home or "backyard" instead of like it's a whole new place. #QuarantineCamp2020! 

It's going to have new themes every time I post. STEM, certain decades, Scouts, Animals, whatever I come up with that day. I'm not entirely sure on the posting schedule however because it depends on how long it takes me to prepare everything ahead.

2: An American Girl Shop Haul. My first one ever, actually! I got some awesome summer stuff in the Last Chance section that I'm super excited about, plus two things for wintertime. 

3: Handmade Clothing! I'm planning on sewing some new outfits for Ellie (and Lily) soon! But of course Ellie will be the one to add her thoughts!

4: A Room Makeover: I'm hoping to make more stuff for Lily & Ellie's room including more blankets and pillows and decor. I'm really considering making Ellie's theme a very colorful, aesthetic, VSCO style filled with rainbows and llamas and unicorns!  LOL. Lily on the other hand is probably more aesthetic but sporty and horse themed stuff too. And it wouldn't be perfect if it didn't include their favorite Disney characters!

5: National Holiday posts. This month is National Best Friends Day, National Donald Duck Day, National Go Fishing Day, National Garfield Day, and Ellie's favorite: National Pink Day! And of course the first day of summer!

6: More Lily Reviews!: A My Life As Set I'm yet to review as well as two Our Generation sets.

7: Ellie Learns About!: Ellie is super curious and therefore is ready to blog about anything she learns about! Whether it's the world around us, animals, or a really random fun fact, she's going to share what she's discovering and learning and her crazy thoughts on it!

Stay tuned!

An update and late news

So sorry I didn't do anything big for National Pet Day and Zoo Lovers Day... the Human wasn't feeling well.

However...

For Zoo Lovers Day, Ellie was going to start up another column, something to do with the zoo and animal facts, but she's not sure of a name yet!

Lily's reviews will come soon, no worries!

Hopefully we'll have some DIYs or a decent update this coming week!

April Update

Hey everyone! So sorry we didn't post anything in March... time flies!

We just recently started on our Blaire Wilson inspired restaurant. Ellie is super excited! (She could easily be Blaire's secret twin sister!)

- Lily Reviews: Farm to Feast Craft Kit, Art Studio, Explore with Lea by American Girl; The Bed Table Set, The Well Traveled Luggage Set by Our Generation.
- Our first Lily and Ellie "Trip". We'll show what Lily and Ellie will pack, and will hopefully introduce a new friend to the team! However, she doesn't live close to us, so you won't see her here often (if she accepts!) 😂
We'll give you one hint: Her name is a Holiday.
