The American Girl-like Laura Ingalls Doll is on Sale for $65!

My daughters absolutely love Little House on the Prairie. Two years ago for their birthday, they received the boxed set of DVDs. It took us a year and half to watch all 9 seasons and now that we're done, we watch our favorites. Laura, of course, is everyone's favorite! Read on for the gonga discount...

After I realized how much my girls loved Little House, I began my hunt for dolls. It turns out The Queen's Treasures has a Laura doll and so much furniture and other items to go with her! I saved up for the covered wagon first and recently added Laura herself along with her old-fashioned school desk. Everything is the highest quality. The desk, books, and blackboard even have magnets built inside so that they don't slide away. The desk opens like a real old-fashioned school desk so that everything can be stored inside. My girls were so excited for this because they love playing school with their dolls!

We actually purchased the wagon almost 2 years ago and played with it with all of our dolls. After all that time of being pulled around and played with inside and out, it's held up incredibly well! It's such an amazing toy. My only hope is that The Queen's Treasures will make Laura's sisters and Almonzo, maybe even Nelly! In the meantime, our other 18 inch dolls join in the fun.

You can see the attention to detail and fine craftsmanship on the hope chest that comes with the covered wagon. Every single one of the items we have from the Queen's Treasures is just like this. So finely made, not like so many toys these days that don't last.

The covered wagon in its entirety. We don't have the horses yet but they're on my daughters' Christmas wish list. You can find an incredible variety of Queen's Treasures items at my favorite store, Educents.com, and you can get a discount! Read on to find out how...

Before I get on to the discount, I want to show you one more thing. I didn't realize when we first purchased it, but you can even turn the covered wagon into a sleigh! How neat is that?! We'll definitely be doing that come winter! Our dolls would love to have a sleigh ride as they sing Jingle Bells. You can find the covered wagon and the other Little House themed toys here.

  All of the Little House items are 25% off through Nov. 9 exclusively at Educents (discounts show up after clicking on any of the individual items). Plus, if you're a new customer, you can get a stackable $10 coupon here. This will sign you up for their e-mail newsletter, but don't worry, they only send e-mails about once a week. This is the way I keep in the know with all of their sales. ;)

And I have wonderful news for my more frugal readers who would love to have Laura but can't afford to purchase her. You can also buy her outfits separately so that one of the dark-haired dolls you already have can become her... or a blond can become Mary. You could buy one outfit or all of them. I love the calico! That one's on my wishlist. What's on yours?

Starpath Dolls, So Much More Affordable than American Girls but just as Beautiful! On Sale for $69 with Free Shipping!

My beautiful little girl loves her new Starpath doll so much! At $69 on sale, she's an amazing price. *Coupon at the bottom of this post. As you can see, my daughter wanted to braid her hair to match her doll. An American Girl had been on her wishlist for a long time... until she saw Morning Star. More beautiful than any other 18 inch dolls we've come across, her hair is very soft, and her arms and legs are poseable so that she can even stand up on her own.

Starpath Dolls were recently launched by a mom inspired by her daughter's love of reading. Each of the four dolls comes with a book you can personalize for your daughter. First you choose a chapter book -- currently A Fairy Tale Gone Wrong or Tiger Magic -- then fill in a few questions to create the story’s characters. Customized details are woven throughout every page of the book, making it truly her story. Paperback versions of the chapter book are sold separately ($20) and arrive by postal mail in approximately one week. Or choose an instant e-book, free with each doll purchase.

These dolls are the best Christmas gift for anyone with a little girl from 5 - 12. At $69 with free shipping, they’re more affordable than other 18” dolls and every bit as high quality, and I love that each one is so unique, very different from a lot of the other doll companies out there. My girls bring their Starpath Dolls everywhere, and they receive so many compliments on their beauty.

We love how Starpath Dolls combine play, reading and imagination. It's no wonder that they've already won an award!

Books and dolls are always a sure bet when shopping for a special girl on the Holiday list. But a perfect present would be one where your girl and her doll are written into the storybook! Imagine her surprise on Christmas morning when she reads about herself in a make-believe adventure with her new dolly!

So far, Morning Star and Wishing Star are a part of our family. My oldest daughter recently ordered Shining Star who should be arriving by mail any day. We can't wait!

  If you've never purchased anything from Educents before, you can get a $10 coupon here. This will sign you up for their e-mail newsletter, but don't worry, they only send e-mails about once a week. This is the way I keep in the know with all of their sales. ;)

The Stylish Play & Go Bags is the Answer Every Kid's Mess... Especially Legos!

Sometimes seeing is believing…because one European toy accessory can get your kids to play and then clean up without being asked! Play & Go is actually two nifty products in one – an appealing storage bag with drawstrings and a vibrant play mat. Before this came along, we used a blanket to dump the toys on (especially Legos). Of course that was still messy, especially the cleaning-up part where stray pieces would always be left behind and the kids couldn't clean it up and dump it back in the bins themselves. Play & Go is a godsend!

The outside artwork ranges from solid colors and zigzag prints to sports or pretty patterns to a funny moustache. This is the Mini Play & Go. We have both this one and the regular sized one above. The regular size is hugemongous and it would be perfect for Santa to carry his presents in! ;) Even the Mini is a nice size and can fit a gonga amount of Legos! The fabric is heavy duty. I can't imagine it tearing.

Here's how it works: play, pull the strings together, go! The play area is big enough for my 4 kids to play around, while still keeping their toys within reach. When play is done, pull the drawstrings tight and depart. Not a peep from the grownups to remind kids to tidy up. It’s amazing!

You can get Play & Go on Amazon with free Prime shipping!
