Pin itOur dolls are upstairs practicing for their next gymnastics competition, but while they are getting their workout in, I wanted to share this super easy, FREE (always good) “how-to” with you.

Pin itGymnastics leotards for dolls is certainly nothing new – American Girl has had two versions of a leotard and warmup outfit in the past and I have seen leotard companies selling doll sized leotards at competitions for years, however, with McKenna the GOTY 2012 being a gymnast, I am thinking we will see a [...]
Pin itOne of my all time favorite outfits is Emily’s Snowsuit. I have looked at it ever since it came out and just love the shade of yellow in the jacket. When I saw it go on sale again the week after Christmas I just had to get it .. and I’m glad I did [...]
