On March 8th, this year, I reached out to @Mattel to ask about finding replacement parts for the #barbie Glam Getaway House that she had gotten as a gift. I asked if parts were available and if I could purchase them, since Mattel does offer certain replacement parts for sale on their website for most of their brands. The response I received was quick and unexpected. I figured I'd never hear back, or if they did respond, it would be an "out of luck!" Instead @Mattel replied the next day, was courteous, they found similar replacement pieces for the #barbiehouse, and didn't charge me a dime for them!π I am very grateful to the customer service reps at Mattel for their fantastic job. They have earned a new fan of @barbie in my daughter and have managed to bring me back into the #barbiefandom now as a parent and purchaser of #matteltoys (and former #barbiefangirl as a kid). Now I'm wishing I hadn't given away all my Barbie stuff when I was in my 20s... π #happycustomer #toys #customerservice #matteltoys #barbie #barbiehouse #fangirling

I am totally loving this look on @chimamanda_adichie made by @kikikamanu β€β€β€ For those who don't know about her, Chimamanda Adichie is an activist for women's rights, a TEDTalk scholar, and an author whose works include Purple Hibiscus and Half of a Yellow Sun. She is a fashion icon and has started Project Wear Nigerian with her sisters. She strives to wear clothing made by Nigerians to showcase their work and bring more business to them. Follow her story, not just for her looks, but for her words. She is an inspiration and a person I want Leocadia to have as a role model as she grows upβ€
3rd week of June's #weeklylayouts π This time I incorporated #washitape from @papergame.co #stickers I drew, and other #oddsandends I also used #goldfoilwashi and #gold flakes to give this week a bit of #shiny #craftymama #makerdreamerdoer #tombow #tombowdualbrushpens #sakura #sakurapigma #pigmamicron #wafflehouse #coffeegoals #coffeeislife #coffeelove #bulletjournal #bujo
I had insomnia again last night, so I stayed up till 3 am and did some work. Needless to say, I didn't get up in time to take Leocadia to daycare. πͺπβ°πβ But here's the good news: The dollhouse Kitchen is finished!πβ€π¦ The rolling door works, there's plenty of room for the Leocadia and the dolls to play, and I am putting all other projects on hold until after the holiday season. I'll post more pics of the finished room soon. Right now, Leocadia is stocking it with all our doll kitchen stuff and food. She won't let me near it!π #agig #altagig #joytoeverygirl #agdollhouse #craftymama #ogdolls #ourgenerationdolls #mladolls #makerdreamerdoer #agdiy #dollhouse #handmadewithlove #farmlife #upallnightcrafting #ineedmorecoffee
I'm at my local #wafflehouse again for #coffee and breakfast! I'm meeting the contractor we hired to re-fix our bathroom (and other stuff as time/money allows) at #homedepot soon, but wanted to share some #coffeelove with @wafflehouseofficial this morningπ and share some #hugs&love with all of you, too!π¦β€ I added some more goodies to make my #bulletjournal more functional for me. I sewed an elastic tie-around to my #bujo to help hold my essential pens and pencil! I found the elestic at #walmart π I also created a lovely page to start April off right and have started creating a few more #weeklies the one pictured is my favorite right now π Hugs! #craftymama #makerdreamerdoer #bulletjournal #bujo #wafflehouse #coffeegoals #coffeeislife #coffeelove #breakfast

With a new month comes more weekly layouts and ideas for my #bulletjournal I'm actually keeping better track of appointments and stuff I need to do with a #bujo than I ever did with a traditional planner! #bulletjournal #bujobuddies #craftymama #makerdreamerdoer #stayorganized #stayathomemom #farmlife
A little #lolsurprise love to my friends today! We FINALLY got some more #lolsurpriseconfettipop π¦β€
Tried some #selfies today, since it was so beautiful outside. I hope everyone's day is going well and if it isn't, I'm sending hugs your way π¦β€ #farmlifebestlife #farmlife #sun #sunshine #spring #curlyhair #frizzyhair #windy #smile
I've been texting a friend and got super happy, but since I have the best foot warmer, ever, stretched over my feet, I'm doing a mental happy dance.π¦β€π #dogsofinstagram #germanshepherd #furbaby
