Barbie Is Moving Mobile Tour To Stop In Los A...
Published on Tuesday, May 28, 2013 by Caryn Bailey This is a sponsored post from One2One Network and Mattel. All opinions stated are my own. I remember some parts of my childhood with great detail.

Corolle Hosts Adopt-a-Doll Event and Transfor...
Published on Friday, May 24, 2013 by Caryn Bailey Even at the age of three, my daughter knows exactly how to care for a doll. Over the weekend, we headed to The Grove in Los Angeles, which was transformed into a Parisian Park for Corolle's Adopt-a-Doll Event. C'est Magnifique! From the moment she walked into the playground of dolls, she got busy bathing, brushing, and taking care of her doll's every need. Coro... Read More » -

Published on Monday, May 6, 2013 by Caryn Bailey In my view you cannot claim to have seen something until you have photographed it. - Emile Zola It's probably redundant to say that I love to take photos. If you've ever met me in person, than you know that I likely have at least one, if not two cameras in hand. Andrew Harvey once said that "your best camera is the one you have with you."

Family Friendly Guide to the Los Angeles Time...
Published on Friday, April 19, 2013 by Caryn Bailey Earlier this week, my daughter was sitting on our couch, "reading" a book aloud. She's only three, but we've read these books so many times in the past 3 years, she knows them from cover to cover. Even as infants, I recognized the importance of instilling a love for reading within my children. Story-time with my kids is one of my most cherished moments of the day, and... Read More » -

Published on Sunday, February 3, 2013 by Caryn Bailey I remember a time when my daughter would have nothing to do with the animated characters she met in person. She would hold me tight and bury her head in my shoulder. I guess that is why the moment she walked up to Strawberry Shortcake and her friends was so special. What you can't see is her initial conversation with Strawberry...oh how I wish I had a tape rec... Read More » -

Published on Wednesday, December 12, 2012 by Caryn Bailey Earlier this week, I was chatting with a friend about some parenting challenges I've been facing. I was frustrated with myself, for not always knowing the right way to respond when my children don't listen, get in trouble at school, or simply just misbehave. Her gentle, comforting response was that just because I became a mother 5 years ago, does not mean that I ins... Read More » -
