I am long past the barbie doll phase, and almost into the graduated from high school phase, for my youngest daughter.
It all goes by very fast. I stayed home with my girls, until they were both in high school. It is the best investment I have ever made.
** both my daughters are now post high school and I have a beautiful grandson - who is almost 14 months old - I am so blessed - He calls me Nana. I love that!
