Well! This has been an interesting few weeks. Unfortunately, when life gets interesting around here, there are longer breaks between posts--sorry. The biggest thing that happened was that I had to move my youngest to the opposite coast (I'm trying not to take it personally that Washington is about the farthest you can get from New Jersey while still being in the same country). That was both physically and emotionally exhausting, as you might imagine. But then when I got home, I was so tired that my brain stopped functioning and I managed to get conned by an online scam (the kind of thing I thought I'd never in a million years fall for), and so I had to cancel all of my credit cards, shut down PayPal, and do ten other things that I don't even remember. All I can say is that if anyone tells you to download software onto your computer in order to fix a PayPal problem (or any other problem)...don't do it. Duh. Big mistake.
What wasn't a big mistake was deciding to investigate a new mini doll that I found during one of my random online searches about a month ago. The dolls are from MGA Entertainment's Dream Ella line and are called Extra Iconic Minis. Despite the fact that MGA dolls take up about 20% of the toy aisle space at stores like my local Target, I have yet to see the Iconic Minis anywhere in person--only online. But they've only been out since October.
I've been meaning to review Mattel's new Barbie Extra mini dolls, and so my grand plan here is to look at the Iconic Minis today, and then compare them to Mattel's minis in a future review. I love mini dolls, so I'm pretty excited about this little series!
