"Tonight has to be perfect, Popcorn," Z said, fluffing a pillow for the umpteenth time that day. She laid it gently on the bright blue chair before her and sighed. "I guess that will have to do." Popcorn merely barked, her head tilted and ears perked up as if to say, 'M and B won't care how fluffy the pillows are!' Z buzzed about the backyard, making sure each detail was in place. "It's not every day that you host an outdoor movie premiere, Popcorn! I've worked incredibly ha

“There! That’s the last one.”, I said, pushing a heavy cardboard box into the room. Wiping beads of sweat from my forehead, I breathed a sigh of victorious relief. This week, I moved from Seattle all the way across the country to my new home. It was quite the change for me- no more city skylines, rain, or visits to the Beanery. While I did miss my old home, this new place I had arrived at seemed full of surprises and adventure, and I couldn’t wait to explore (and vlog!) more.

Yesterday, we celebrated DollPandaLover's birthday with an American Girl Z Crew-inspired party! 🎉 Since DollPandaLover is a major Z Crew fan, this year she requested a Z themed party for her 10th birthday. My Mom, DollBaker24, and I searched for decorations and items that would match Z's color scheme, and I'll have to admit- this party turned out more fun and amazing than I had expected! Of course, with the party being involved with American Girl, I couldn't wait to share

Hello, everyone! It's definitely been a while since I last posted, hasn't it? I'd like to apologize for being away from the blog world this past two weeks. As usual, life has been busy! Our old house sold last week, and we've extremely busy trying to move out a few things (well, actually a lot of things) that were stored over there. But now that we're finally done, I am ready to get back to posting, and hear what's new with all of you! ☺️ Since American Girl is releasing quit

It's time to share another doll project I've been working on... Say hello to Z, M, and Popcorn as they welcome you to their new photography studio!✨ 📷 This was definitely one of the most fun doll projects I have ever worked on, and I am so excited to share it with you guys! Z is such a creative character, and that really inspired me as I dreamed up what the studio would be like. Overall, this big DIY took me about 1 week to complete (due to school and other events), but I lo

April is yet another exciting month for us American Girl fans- a new character is set to debut in less than two weeks!

For any new American Girl Fans or Readers, Z Yang is a new contemporary character from American Girl debuting April 27th.

Before I begin, I want to say that I'm finally back! Thank you all SO much for the sweet, supportive comments and kind prayers. I appreciated reading each one, and it touched my heart seeing how many of you cared about me. 😘 I didn't plan being gone for this long, but our internet wasn't on for until a few days after we returned, and the day it did start working again, DollPandaLover and I got sick from rotten pickles that a restaurant hadn't thrown out from the storm. Yuck

American Girl has partnered with Tongal to make a Z.Crew Video project. American Girl is looking for one filmmaker to bring Z's stories to life. The winner will get to choose from 3 different concept ideas that their Z.Crew film will be based on. Once the winner is selected, American Girl will provide the sets to make the videos, Z's voiceover, and even the 18 inch Z doll! That sounds awesome. :) Currently, the project is in the pre-production stage, meaning the filmmaker is

Guess what today is? DollPandaLover's birthday! DollPandaLover is my little sister, and she is the youngest kid in our family. Z and Popcorn wanted to wish you a Happy Birthday, sis! "HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM! I love you so much, and you take good care of me and Popcorn." Woof, woof! "Oh, Pop wants to say hello, too!" Ruff ruff, woof! Arooooooo! "That's 'Happy Birthday to you' in dog." :) "Now, c'mon Popcorn. We can't be late! The party is going to start soon. Bye!" I love you so m

Lanie's birthday was this month! (It was actually the 13th, but I didn't have time to post the pictures.) She's been in my doll family for 2 years now. :D Are you curious about how we celebrated? Here's a look at what Lanie and her friends did on the big day. ;) In honor of Lanie's birthday, her best buddies Georgia (DollBaker24) and Z (DollPandaLover) came over to party! Of course, the pets didn't want to miss out on all of the fun, so the girls brought them too. The 3 frien

This past weekend, my family took a little vacation. Z came along, and I decided that she looked perfect for a photoshoot! I call it "Z's Adventure" because I took photos of her in different places around our cabin. I hope you enjoyed!

My little sister, DollPandaLover, decided that the Funky Pet Bed was perfect for Z's puppy Popcorn! It's bright and fun, and we both love all of the doodles. Time for a review! The Funky Pet Bed is sold for $26. It comes with 1 mattress and and 1 bed frame. This pet bed is very colorful! As you can see, there are many funky designs and doodles. :) The bed is actually a lot bigger than I thought, but it's still very cute. A red American Girl tag is sewn on the bottom right cor

Z's life wouldn't be complete without her adorable Dalmatian puppy, Popcorn! DollPandaLover knew right away that this would be the perfect pet for her new doll. When my Mom ordered our birthday presents from AG, she also wanted to surpise DollPandaLover with the Dalmatian puppy. But when we opened the box, Popcorn wasn't inside! :P We called American Girl and they quickly sent us our missing dog. Now this playful pup is ready for a review! American Girl's Dalmation Puppy is

American Girl has new items for girls inspired by Z.Crew from their Youtube channel! I'm suprised they weren't released with the other Spring things; the Z.Crew items just appeared today on Americangirl.com. Z's signature shirt ($24) is available for girls, but there's not one for dolls yet. DollPandaLover LOVES it! :) I think it's kinda cute, too. This was interesting to me... It's a USB Flash Drive ($15). It holds things like digital files and videos. This would be useful w
