I love dolls, I always have. Growing up with a mother who loved dolls and finally had a girl who loved dolls as much as her, I was showered with dolls. At Christmas there would be so many dolls awaiting me and I was probably one of the only kids who had a mom suggest they get a Madame Alexander baby doll in the Walt Disney World gift shop rather than the typical stuffed Minnie.
I was very much the same with my daughter and relished buying her dolls of all kinds. Last Summer I was so impressed with Emil, a large Rubens Barn Original Doll that I could not wait to get another Rubens Barn cutie in my arms. Well, that opportunity arrived and Little Meiya may be smaller than the Original dolls but she is tipping the cuteness scales! She has a full head of that signature downy soft black hair and a darling headband with large bow.
Her adorable bubble romper is done in a bright cupcake fabric with a top in bright pink with white polka dots that matches the polka dot band of her headband. Her sweet little toes peek out and her big brown eyes beg you to give her a hug. She has a weighted bottom so she is quite substantial and able to sit without toppling over. In the Little Rubens Party Collection you will find Meiya and many friends who would just love to come home with you.
Rubens Barn Dolls are machine washable so they can join your child on their daily adventures. I warn you though, these dolls are addicting and you can’t have just one, which has me thinking about who should be next to join our family : ). Mommy Ramblings loves Rubens Barn Dolls so much she is adding them to our 2013 Holiday Gift Guide!

I have been a Magic Cabin customer for so long and they are really a company that has stood the test of time. For being a mom for over 2 decades, I can remember when there was no online shopping and pouring over the catalog when it arrived and then placing my order over the phone or by snail mail. Can you even imagine that now? One thing is certain this company is here to stay and is one I can count on for original, fun, educational and active toys for kids of all ages. Now, if you are ready for a double dose of cuteness, have I got something to share!!!
I don’t know if I have told you before, but I love dolls and still have all of mine from when I was a child and have collected many more over the years. I am a sucker for unique and adorable dolls. When I saw the Rubens Barn Dolls, Original Doll Collection, I was in love! Then I saw Magic Cabin carries the Rubens Barn Dolls Collection and I felt like I would never be able to choose between the babies that are anatomically correct, or the kids, or the party collection or the original dolls, or the…well, you get the idea. I went back and forth and I know myself I will end up getting one of each, but I started with one of the original dolls and the choice among just those six little, adorable, pudgy toddlers was so hard. I ended up choosing Emil because I thought my preschooler would relate to him as he seemed to have a head of crazy hair. My preschooler has the curly hair like 2 of his siblings and believe me some days we have a struggle to tame his mane.
Do you know sometimes when you order something and you are disappointed because it’s not as great as what you saw in the pictures? I have had that happen a few times with dolls. However this was the polar opposite, Emil is so much more adorable and endearing in person it’s unbelievable. His weighted bottom and size give you a whole armful to hold. This is definitely a substantial sized doll, I would have loved to have these dolls when I was younger.
When my preschooler saw me holding him, he thought he was a real child. Then he was amazed and could not help giving his hair a tussle, and this big, chubby toddler a hug. The great thing is the dolls are machine washable so they can get dirty like real kids and can partake in lots of childish fun with the kids that love them. We decided he needed a diaper, so we added a disposable, this little guy wears a size 4 diaper to give you an idea of his size. Then we dressed him and he was ready for adventure whatever that may be. I love to pose him on one of my antique school desks as he looks so sweet. Now which one should I get next, decisions, decisions!
Each of these handmade dolls from Rubens Barn® is fun to play with and soft to hold. The chubby, cuddly dolls have sparkly embroidered eyes, downy hair, and sweet pixie faces.

I have been a customer of Magic Cabin for over 2 decades. Being the mother of 5 children with a span of a couple of decades between oldest and youngest, I was a loyal and satisfied customer when there was only a catalog business and Internet or online sales was far in the future. I have always loved the toys they offered and have always been very happy with my purchases.
One of my favorite childhood toys had to be hippity hop balls and other similar bouncing toys. I remember I had some huge orange one that had an oval shape and had two horn like handles and a sort of friendly creature face on it. I can clearly remember what fun they were and how much we enjoyed them. I was recently asked to pick something to review from Magic Cabin Toys and when I saw their pony ride on toys, I knew I had found it. I chose the blue Rody ride on pony and the orange ride on pony ball. They arrived quickly and are very high quality, made in Italy and super durable for lots of bouncing fun indoors and out. We inflated them with our foot pump and then quickly inserted the air plug that is included (they send a spare as well). After that all that was left was to add kid power and fun naturally resulted.
If you are looking for something fun and that will keep your child active and using their energy, check out the pony ride ons at Magic Cabin.

When I had the opportunity recently to do a review for Magic Cabin, I was thrilled. I have been a fan of Magic Cabin for over twenty years, when I started my family. I have 5 children that span through 3 decades and it is no surprise to me, that Magic Cabin is still around providing creative and fun toys for my two youngest children.
Magic Cabin has been guided by the simple notion that children’s lives are enriched by ample time for open-ended, creative, imaginative play. They believe in good-old-fashioned make believe and in children’s innate need to interact with simple, natural toys and crafts.
While childhood becomes endangered Magic Cabin is a pioneer towards protecting this special time in life by conscientiously selecting products that are beautiful and enchanting, sturdy and safe, and best of all, FUN.
I selected the Little Jumpers Folding Trampoline to review. I chose this because I think it is a very safe choice for my little ones, who I feel are a bit too young for a full size trampoline. I love the fact that it has a handle with a padded bar. The legs fold in for storage but to tell you the truth I don’t think this will be in storage in our house. Upon opening the package, we laid out the parts for assembly.
The assembly instructions were very clear. The first step was to connect the frame with four screws and unfold the legs. The next step is to knot the bungee cord around the cord lock.
Next step was to thread the bungee cord through the eyelets in the frame. This works best with two people so that one can thread it through and the other can follow behind tightening it. My husband and I worked together on this and you really do need two people for this. When we were through threading it through all the eyelets, I held the cord tight while my husband tied the bungee cord to the other end of the cord lock.
Next, we placed the padded frame cover over the trampoline. This was very easy and it attached on the bottom of each corner with hook and loop closures.
Next, we attached the sections of the handle together and attached it to the frame.
Then after adjusting the rubber feet to make sure they are in full contact with the floor, we added the kids and pure fun and joy resulted.
Little Jumpers Trampoline-A Magic Cabin Exclusive
A great outlet for kid’s energy and sense of adventure, this heavy duty nylon mesh trampoline can be folded up and hidden under the bed. One of the safest trampolines around, it’s slip-proof: padded covers protect feet from sliding into the bungee cord holes, and the padded handle adds an extra measure of stability.
Use it indoors or out; both bounce mat and finish are waterproof.
Weight up to 60 pounds. Adult Supervision is recommended while this item is in use.
For ages 3 and up.
Size
33-3/4″ Sq. x 32-1/4″H
Floor to the jumping pad height approx. 11″
