Miss M’s Twin! A My Twinn Review.
November 4, 2010 2 Comments
As some of you know, I love to enter giveaways that I find online. I have decided to start to review those products that I have been lucky enough to win. Here is the first of a hopefully weekly series.
As part of Miss M’s present from us, she received a My Twinn doll that I had won from the Happily Domestic blog. If you are not familiar with My Twinn, it is a doll like an American Girl doll. The biggest difference is that My Twinn is made to look like your child! This “magically” happens after you full out their extensive questionnaire and submit a picture of your special child. What most impressed me about the questionnaire was how detailed it was. It even asked if she had any freckles (how many and where) so that they could replicate. After that is received, their artisans go to work to create a truly one of a kind doll.

The doll takes about 4 weeks to be handcrafted and shipped to your home. When I first opened the box, I was a bit amazed. It was almost like looking at Miss M in the future, say when she is 8 or so. I was impressed by the craftsmanship and detail they put into this doll. M has a few freckles on the bridge of her nose and so does her twin! Also, M wears a barrette on the left side of her hair. Her twin was delivered with a ponytail and a bow on her left side as well.

The only negative thing about this doll is the cost of her clothes. She comes in one outfit (you choose from 3 or 4 options). Of course, after receiving her doll, Miss M wanted more clothes…especially ones for herself that would match her doll. Well, to get an outfit for both the doll and your child, it will cost over 50 bucks! To get just another outfit for the doll will cost you from twenty to thirty dollars. A bit pricey for me for doll clothes.
Overall, if you are looking for an unique gift for that special girl in your life, then you might want to consider My Twinn. As for the doll’s clothes, perhaps make your own or find someone who can!
A special thanks to Happily Domestic & My Twinn for the giveway that I won!

Halloween is SO Great! by Miss M
November 3, 2010 Leave a Comment
I went trick and treating w/my mom and my dad and my baby sister, C. We went to lots of good houses. I got lots of good candy. I also went to grandma’s house. I am mostly eating all of my candy because it tastes so good. It is so so great. It is the best candy EVER! I was a cat and C was a pumpkin. C got not too much candy because I went to more houses. One house I got a package of peanut butter crackers. I ate them all up! It was so good. Next year I really want another one of those! When I came home, I ate one of the pieces of candy. We made a jack of lantern with eyes that are kinda curvy and a mouth that is a circle. And that’s all.
Please come back to Queen of the Snot Princesses because we don’t have a lot of followers and we want a lot. So please follow us! Thank you.

Halloween Weekend Fun
November 1, 2010 2 Comments
On our way to pick some pumpkins…yes we waited till October 30th to do this!
If you live in the Chicago suburbs, go to the Farm at the Center in Palos Park!
When we got home, Baby C took a nap while Daddy and Miss M carved up
the pumpkin! But first you gotta remove the guts!
Getting ready to trick or treat on October 31st. Miss M had to wait
until Baby C woke up from her nap. It was torture!
Candy! Baby C riding in style while her sister gets the goods.
Overall it was a great weekend filled with fun and good weather. It was a little chilly but at least it was sunny and not raining or snowing! Most of my childhood memories of Halloween are of trick or treating in the rain and/or with a winter coat on! Gotta love Chicago.

Miss M after losing her tooth on Oct. 11th.
In commemoration of Miss M having turned 6 on Wednesday (10/13), I interviewed her. Thanks to The Domestic Buzz for the inspiration. Here are the results.
- How old are you now? 6
- How does it feel to be 6? It feels good.
- What did you do yesterday on your birthday? We went to CiCi’s and we went to McDonald’s for lunch.
- Did you do anything special at school? What I did at school was I met new friends and I love to play. My teacher is really nice. They sang happy birthday to me and to my friend, Carson, too!
- What do you think is the most important thing that you have learned so far? The most important thing is how to plant a tree and how to listen on the rug (but I already know that).
- How do you think you have changed from last year? I hadn’t lost my tooth and I always wanted to but this year I have!
- What do you like most about yourself? I am a very good person and I like fancy stuff like glittery shoes, fancy flowers, sparkly glasses.
- What do you like learning about the most at school? I mostly like doing calendar and learning new letters and having art.
- Is there anything you would do to improve your educational experience? What does that mean?
- What would you change at school? Is that what it means? I wish I could eat lunch there and have music there but probably when I am in first grade I will get to do that. (She only goes to school in the morning).
- Describe your family. Mommy, Daddy, Baby C and me, Miss M!
- What do you like most about having a sister? I think she is very cute. I like babies because she is a very,very best baby in the whole world. She is just 1.
- Did we go on any vacations this year? Last year we went to see Mumie in South Carolina. We also went to MaGa’s but she was on vacation with Pop. In St. Louis. A while ago we stayed at a hotel where there was a submarine and you could go inside. That was before Mama had Baby C and I was little.
- Favorite Books? Music? Movies? Favorite Music is We’re Going Out Tonight but that is on the computer and Justin Roberts. My favorite book is Princess and the Pea, Barbie and Star Wars and My Little Pony. My favorite movie is Blues Clues, and movies about puppies.
- Favorite TV Show? Arthur and Fetch and Curious George.
- If you had an entire day to do whatever you wanted, what would you do? What I would do is play with my friend Roo and go to school and play with Barbies, Polly Pocket and play on the computer and eat lots of popcorn and donuts and macaroni and cheese and quesadillas.
- What do you want to be when you grow up? I haven’t decided, Mom, yet. Because I might change my mind when I grow up.
- Do you think you will get married? I don’t know.
- Anything else you would like to say? I just love school. I am so happy that I am growing and that’s all.
- Is there anything I should have asked you but didn’t? Nope and that is so all. Please go to the Queen of the Snot Princesses because there might be something there that you haven’t seen so go there quick!
Happy 6th Birthday Miss M! We Love YOU!
