Yesterday I told you about how much my daughter loves her dolls.  It’s one of the girliest things about her!  In talking with other moms with daughters, they have always said “Watch out…American Girl time is coming”.  I checked out their site and I’m sorry, I cannot, nor will I ever spend $110+ dollars a doll for my daughter.  Because lets face it, she’s a Tomboy.  She plays rough.  Need I say more?

However, I know she would like a “big” doll.  She sees her friends with them and like most kids, she wants what everyone else has.  Thankfully, there is a wonderful company, Springfield Collection, that has a collection of beautiful 18″ dolls that are high quality, but much more reasonably priced!

Say hello to Abby, Emma, Maria, Madison and Olivia!

They have silky hair and sparkling eyes and huge collection of trendy clothes and accessories.  I especially love that they have trendy looking glasses! Bella wears glasses and the last thing I want is to order her a dorky pair of glasses for her doll when Bella hardly wears dorky glasses:

 

About Each Doll

• Abby – sporting long blonde hair, this 18″ doll arrives in a cute blue dress that matches her eyes.  When she grows up she hopes to be a veterinarian.
• Emma – this sweet brown-eyed brunette arrives in a bright pink dress.  She loves to swim and she owns more than one dog.
• Madison – soft, curly brown hair accentuates the yellow dress on this African American doll with dazzling doll with dazzling brown eyes.  She’s practicing to be a famous singer one day!
• Maria – her pretty green dress shows of silky black hair with bright brown eyes framed by long eyelashes with a skin tone darker than her “sisters” Abby, Emma and Olivia.  She hopes to become a doctor.
• Olivia – You can’t miss this red head on the soccer field playing her favorite sport.  Note her green eyes and aqua green dress show off her gorgeous red hair.

Bella was sent Emma!  But you know what’s funny?  The description for each doll suits Bella to a T.  Bella wants to be a Veterinarian, she loves dogs, is always singing and she plays soccer.  The first thing we noticed was the fact that the eyes close.  Bella has never had a doll that closes it’s eyes!  This is exciting because now, when she puts Emma to sleep, she really sleeps!  It’s the little things!

Check out the cute outfit and shoes she got:

 

Here’s the funny thing, Bella JUST tried on a pair of shoes at the store exactly like those!!
