McKenna Shoots for the Stars!

Wow, it took me forever but I finally was able to watch the McKenna Shoots for the Stars movie! For the most part it was enjoyable. :)

I am just going to say that I haven't read the books (how unlike me! seeing the movie before reading the books...) so I am not sure if it was true to the real storyline or anything. This is just what I thought about it.

         So, McKenna is a die-hard gymnast, who's big dream is to compete in the Olympics. I think it's good that they have a girl with a set dream, showing girls that it's okay to dream big as long as you keep working towards it. I was really really disappointed in Toulane's personality, though. She would constantly lash out on McKenna, make fun of Sierra and all the while act like she wasn't being mean or anything. I just don't think that's a realistic friendship... :[

 McKenna is pretty relate-able, and my little sisters liked her a lot. She's a sweet girl who is figuring stuff out, and learns a lot of lessons along the way.

 The storyline is a really good one, and I liked watching what would happen next. The outcome was really nice, ( I won't say what it is just in case any of you haven't seen it yet) and it ended the story well. It is a nice story about a girl with big dreams who makes mistakes along the way but fixes them. I was disappointed in Toulane's rudeness, though, and the whole time I just didn't get how they stayed friends. It was what I was expecting, and it was really cute! I would think girls mostly 6 to 10 would like this show most, and I would give it a rating of a 7.5. :)

What did you think of McKenna Shoots for the Stars?

Caroline is RELEASED!

Caroline Abbott has been released! She is a very pretty girl, but I don't think she will be a purchase anytime soon. These are my thoughts on some of her stuff:


Caroline is super cute, I just wish they had been a bit more creative with the look. Is it just me or does she look a whole lot like Lanie? I have noticed a bit of a surplus of new dolls with curly hair... But her dress and outfit is cute, but OH SO PINK! :)



Okay, OH MY GOODNESS. This is sooossooosososososo cute!!!!!! Love the buttons and the deep blue together!! Caroline here looks excellent in blue.



Wow, again, this is an adorable outfit! Very elegant, and the Regency look to it is great.


This dress is a pretty color, but I'm honestly not a huge fan of the pattern. The headband is super cool, I like how it makes it easier to give her hairdos since her hair is so curly.




This dress is very pretty, but again, the PINK. I think Caroline has a color scheme going. I was a bit sad that all the pieces are separately sold, but whatever. The bonnet is to die for!



This is a pretty nightgown! The light blue looks nice on her, even if it is her jammies. :)



Honestly, Inkpot looks too much like Licorice.


Cute to look at, but I can pretty much tell it won't hold up too much rough play. Looks kind of like an enlarged Lego boat. But who knows, this is just the stock photo, it might be better in person.


This bed is really cute! I LOVE canopy beds. I thought for a second the design on the blanket was a peace-sign, then saw it was just a criss-crossy circle. :)

Well, there you have it! Caroline from the eyes of me.

P.S. Oh, and if you were a winner for the stuff, I AM SO SORRY FOR THE DELAY! I've been so busy you can't imagine, (Schedule: Go to school, go to swim, go to work, go do homework, chores, and repeat cycle.)
So I will try super hard to get them sent this week. Sorry again!
