American Girl Cafe Chicago

We had such an amazing time at the American Girl Store's Holiday Shopping Event. We also decided to get lunch there to celebrate Ayla's Birthday.
The tree display was lovely, BUT I was surprised that there wasn't more displays like this for photos.
Aayla doll and Ayla's new doll Indigo joined us. And Hubby felt left out so he got a "dinner doll".
These dolls were starving! They give you a plate and a cup for them, but no dolly food. Kinda sad since the price is outrageous.
Ayla loved the talking points, except most of them were trivia and we've never read any of the AG books so those questions were frustrating.
The appetizer was disappointing. The fruit was the best part. But if you go to the cafe, you don't go for the food.
Ayla loved getting hot tea. She said it made it a tea party.
She got the burger and fries, Hubby and I had the turkey BLT. 
I took a picture of this mirror to replicate in my own AG cafe for my dolls.
Dessert was everyone's favorite part. Plus they sang to Ayla. It was nice.
Overall, the food was terrible and way expensive, but we did have a lot of fun. Now that we've done it once, we really never need to do this part again.
Stay tuned for the last leg of our journey. I'm going to call it American Girl Store Bonuses.

Shedville Academy 2024

  While on Spring Break, Shedville Academy got a make over. The classrooms got cleaned, they added a music/AV room, and they got an entire new gym where they eat lunch. Here's the tour: Those kids ran out of here so fast for Spring Break that they left behind a huge mess. This locker got tucked behind the AV room. This little area next to the lockers is getting set up for the upcoming Science Fair. Then the AV room goes in front of all this. Students are going to be able to vote for a class president when they return. The Gym/ Cafeteria The school just keeps growing and growing, but to save on space they set the gym up as a Cafeteria. It's a little messy right now, but it's still under constuction. There's still boxes from the schools Toy & Book Donations over Christmas. The bottom shelf is a great place for kids that brought their lunches to store them. But it's gotten a little overloaded with snacks. The basketball hoops also fold up, getting them out of the w...

I'm back!

 As some of you know, I started out here on Blogger. But when they updated a few years ago, things got glitchy. I decided it was time to just pay for a domain. And AnAmericanGirlMom.com was born. This was expensive but fun. I also thought that I could make money from my blog (like they say online). I never made a dime. I followed all the "make money" tips and followed YouTubers advice for setting up the blog, and nothing. Good thing I don't do this for the money. Why do I do this? I love sharing my dolls and their stories with the world. I love posting on Facebook and Instagram. I love making short stop motions for my YouTube channel. Having my own domain really helped to share my stories. The unforeseen problem is that once my domain expired, so did all my content. I really hate that. I feel like everything I spent my money on should still be available, but it isn't. Years of content gone unless I renew it. This wasn't true with Blogger. For the 1st year with ana...
