barbies

I counted my daughter's Barbies. There was 18 (I had weeded some a few months ago). I didn't even think of counting  Barbie shoes, purses and hair brushes. Who has time for that? The Barbies and accessories are organized in various containers. A few years ago I went through … [Read more...]
