Karito Kids Review
June 20, 2009 by Krissy
Filed under Reviews, Reviews and Giveaways

A few days ago I introduced you to Karito Kids and the wonderful ladies behind the Karito Kids concept. I hope you have had time to go and check out their website.
One of the things that I love the most about this company is that it gives our kids the opportunity to make a difference for children all over the world. When you check out their website you will see a section for “play“. What makes this different than any other site that includes games for kids, is that on this one your children will earn “change” which they can then donate to the cause of their choice in the charity section of the site. It was no surprise to me when Rylee picked “Providing Milk and Eggs for School Kids” in China! Hanna has now donated twice and picked “Preventing Disease with Mosquito Nets” also not all that surprising since she is a major mosquito magnet. (Also appropriate since next week is Mosquito Awareness Week!)
There are currently 6 Karito Kids including the one we were sent to review, Wan Ling. I am so impressed with the quality that goes into making these 21″ dolls. Karito Kids are 11 year old girls who are all culturally unique and each has their own area of interest. Wan Ling cares for endangered Pandas in China and the book that comes with her is written as a mystery, suspense type story. My 9 year old LOVED this story! But now she desperately wants Piper (pictured above). Piper is from Australia loves to surf and loves dolphins (and so does Hanna).
Not only were we fortunate enough to receive Ling for review but they also sent Rylee their “Ling goes to Japan” Travel Charmer Soft Doll for her birthday! The Travel Charmers are super cute and small enough to take anywhere.
They also carry a very nice selection of fashion and accessories for the World Collection Dolls in their online store like clothing for a princess party, play date or even a slumber party!

Just check out this impressive collection of awards that the World Collection Dolls have received. Karito Kids offers the whole package – Beautiful quality doll, trendy well made clothing, great story, cultural learning and charitable giving!
Head on over to Karito Kids and see all of their wonderful products for yourself. You are sure to fall in love with this company and all they stand for!

May 21, 2009 by Krissy
Filed under Giveaways, Reviews and Giveaways
the card crate has taken me from a Stay At Home Mom to a Work At Home Mom. Thank you for making this possible.

I did not see the exact style that I wanted for Rylee’s card so I asked to modify a different type of invitation card. Sara was great to work with and changing the card to fit what I wanted was no problem at all! I think it turned out pretty cute and Rylee loves her “princess card“!

Buy it: The price for your own predesigned card is only $10.00!
Win it: Sara is offering one (1) predesigned card for two of our readers!

I think my girls are the only girls who HASN’T owned a Tutu!

And here’s a picture of her in it;
She is just adorable in it, I haven’t done anything with her hair and all that yet, I just wanted to show you how cute she looks!
