In my house we measure money by American girl dolls (my daughters both have 3, 2 each bought second hand on ebay, and one each bought new at the American girl store). If something costs $1000, I say "that is like 10 American Girl Dolls", lol. It is my job to make their dreams come true...I can wait for my birthday (Feb). I am glad that the box is so expensive, because it is no longer tempting for me! $150 would have been very hard to resist, but I can now stop thinking about it! For those lucky individuals who are able to purchase right now, good for you! I hope it will be an amazing box, and I can't wait to see what you get!
Good mama! Your post made me smile because of the American Girl Doll stuff! That's how I used to think of money when I was a little girl -- Addy was my first big ticket purchase that I had saved and saved for with my allowance. I still have her and can't wait for my little girl to be old enough to play with my dolls.
