About

Hi, I’m Natalie, a tween girl with a lot of dolls. Welcome to my place on the internet for dolls and things related to them.

I obviously love dolls, especially American Girl brand. I received my first in 2012, and have been hooked ever since.

I’ve been blogging here since 2017, although I had a few blogs before TAGS.

All of my dolls live in an imaginary neighborhood in northern Maryland called Pleasant Street, a nod to the original manufacturer of American Girl dolls.

Most doll bloggers have all of their dolls as sisters, and they, the blogger, as the doll’s mom. I don’t really enter into my doll’s world at all, I’m more of an ‘invisible narrator,’ if you will. Some of my dolls are sisters and have families, and some don’t. I try to create believable, multi-faceted personalities for my dolls, because nobody wants another stereotypical tomboy or drama queen.

In case you’re wondering, yes, I also blog here, on Taking the Cake. If you’re one of my TTC readers, hi again, nice to see you. I hope you like this blog as much as TTC.
