For the love of Barbie<\/h2>\n

While I don’t have too many childhood memories (my brain works in mysterious ways), I will always remember my Barbies and my Barbie doll house. Barbie brought me companionship when my friends were too busy to play. It also frequently brought friends over to my house as we all loved playing with my Barbies. I loved nothing more than playing pretend and dressing up Barbie.<\/p>\n

I also clearly remember the day I had saved enough money to purchase the Barbie Dream House. \u00a0Even back then (we\u2019re talking about mid 80\u2019s here), it was AMAZING. The Dream house included three floors, an elevator and more. I played with that dream house for years, every year adding a few more accessories like a bathtub, car and kitchen.<\/p>\n

Me, at age 6! I loved playing pretend.<\/p><\/div>\n

You Can Be Anything!<\/h2>\n

I love seeing my nieces play with and love their Barbie dolls just as much as I did. It’s no wonder that\u00a0Barbie\u00a0is an iconic doll and it’s so great that children in today’s technological age still enjoy\u00a0playing with a classic Barbie doll.\u00a0Barbie provides your little ones with\u00a0hours of entertainment and imaginative play. The best part is that Barbie is now available in\u00a0over 155 careers. \u00a0From Teacher\u00a0to Movie Star, Pet Vet to Police Officer, Fashionista to Eye Doctor, there are countless choices for your little ones to let their imagination soar.<\/p>\n

\"Barbie<\/p>\n

As a parent, my dream is to raise well-mannered kids who become happy and responsible adults. Part of that is encouraging them to dream big and to let them know that through hard work and determination, they can be anything they want to be. At the moment, those dreams for my boys include being a hockey player or a baseball player. Most importantly, I just keep encouraging them to keep practicing and working hard. It’s a life lesson that will get them far no matter what they want to be as they keep growing.<\/p>\n
