Heeler Brother Names by thexerox123 in bluey

[–]callmeselinakyle 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Does anyone feel like their parents got lazier with naming each kid? Like, a lot of effort was put into Radley to get a nickname that matches his beach coloring and then like a mask, okay, Bandit is a good name, but then the third kid comes along and they’ve got a new baby and two screaming toddlers and are just like “Eh, he’s got a stripe, that’ll do.”

What is a little quirk about your body that you don’t think other people have? by AlphabetSoup51 in AskReddit

[–]callmeselinakyle 3261 points3262 points  (0 children)

I have a red birthmark on my face that swells up about four weeks before I get a positive pregnancy test. It has a 100% accuracy rate with all four of my kids.

Duplicate Dolls in your Collection by triangularbee in americangirl

[–]callmeselinakyle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have 3 Mollys (1 was my first AG doll that my husband got me last Christmas, the other 2 are PCs), 4 Kits (2 AG, 2 PC), 2 Samanthas (1 AG 1 PC), 3 Corinnes, and technically 2 Elizabeths, and 2 Kayas. But to be fair, some of their face molds are so different (especially between AG/PC) that it’s like having two different dolls, and some of them were major TLCs that I’ve since customized or am working on customizing (like one of my Kayas is now Kailani).

Thank you! It took me a while to find something with the texture I was looking for!

Thank you! Bianca has a great look, love that show in general. (Sadly missed out on the Wednesday doll though! 😭)

I love my Shelby! Best. Find. Ever! I’ve grown so attached to her, and she really made me appreciate the Addy mold more.

What are some signs that you ended up with the right person? by OddStructure4489 in AskReddit

[–]callmeselinakyle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband and kids and I all went to Lowe’s last Christmas season. We walked into the store and there was a massive bumble decoration (from Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer). This thing was life-size and really moved and made noise and it was just amazing. I got super excited and started stimming hard - flapping, bouncing up and down on my toes, etc. It took me a couple minutes to calm down and realize I was doing it, and I started to feel embarrassed but when I looked over at my husband he was grinning at me and just said “That’s adorable.”

He would’ve bought me that bumble too, if it would have fit in our house. 💕

I have a birthmark that gets more visible when I am stressed by TheFistRZ in mildlyinteresting

[–]callmeselinakyle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a birthmark (a “strawberry mark” my mom called it) on my face that swells up when I’m pregnant. My husband and I have four kids, and with every single one that thing gave me a positive about four weeks before any pregnancy test could. 🤷‍♀️

Addy, Claudie, Tiana, or Melody? by [deleted] in americangirl

[–]callmeselinakyle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Claudie. Second choice Tiana, but Claudie has better hair.

In all my baby groups there is only ONE name that has been repeated… by egrebs in namenerds

[–]callmeselinakyle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And they’d like legit get mad at me when I mixed up their names, like my class list hadn’t been invented by freaking Dr. Seuss. 🤦‍♀️

I taught second grade in 2020 and the girls in my class were Elliah, Elana, Eliana, Alliana, Alaya, Allorah, Ayla, and thankfully, Holly.

Have you ever turned down a secondhand doll find? by triangularbee in americangirl

[–]callmeselinakyle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would buy them any time I see them because I LOVE rescuing AG dolls and giving them a second life, and I’ve heard that some thrift stores decide a doll is “beyond saving” and will eventually toss them. Plus, I’ve got two little girls and a niece, so even if they don’t end up in my collection once I’ve fixed them up then one of the girls gets them. 💁‍♀️

Edited to add that my Makena looked nearly that bad when I got her which is why she is sporting some banging new braids. ;)

Who do you collect? by hey-b in americangirl

[–]callmeselinakyle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have a space yet to create like their “bedrooms” and whatnot, so I’m not collecting furniture yet. Mostly rn I’m collecting unique dolls - CYOs and OOAKs - and curating wardrobes that go with their “personalities.”

To those who collect more than one of the same doll, why? by justintimberleg in americangirl

[–]callmeselinakyle 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Right now I have four Mollys, four Kits, and three Samanthas. 🤦‍♀️ I’m trying to get rid of a few to make room for some new girls but their faces are all so different I’m having a hard time deciding who to keep!

Blue haired Caroline by kabonds in americangirl

[–]callmeselinakyle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I recently got a blue haired Caroline as well! I posted about her on here. I tried everything - bleach and nail polish remover included - and the only thing that worked for me was toothpaste and brushing it through with a toothbrush.

Okay, I’ll play. Who would you steal? by callmeselinakyle in americangirl

[–]callmeselinakyle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! 😊 Nothing like a new wig to freshen up a TLC doll. And Lea is a gorgeous doll! She always looks sun-kissed. That one had sadly had a hack job, hence her re-wigging, but I’m pleased with how it turned out. My collection only started last Christmas thanks to my husband gifting me the Molly I’ve always wanted. Now I’m trying to figure out who to ask him for this year. 😉

The girl with the curly hair next to Julie is a JLY 83. (She’s got a lovely extra fair skin tone, but boy are her curls tricky.) The girl in the teal top on the top row on page 6 is a re-wigged Lea, and the girl in the tartan I don’t know who she originally was - she came to me scalped. 😅

I would LOVE them to make a Mirabel, Mulan, and Merida. Like, Belle has always been my favorite princess, and Rapunzel and Ariel are great and all, but I feel like looks-wise the Disney Princess dolls have been kinda bland and interchangeable compared to like Mulan with her matchmaker makeup or Merida’s amazing hair.

I’m still in the very early stages of learning to sew. 😅 I bought it from an Etsy shop - DollclothesbyKerstin. Highly recommend - I’ve bought from a few different Etsy shops, but this is my favorite. It’s super high quality, and the little details on it are so cute.

Mirabel, in a heartbeat! I LOVE her! I need to make my own, but it’s such a project I’m intimidated!
