4th of July weekend...the Adora Way!

We don't know about you, but we look forward to this weekend all year long at Adora! It's a weekend of our 3 favorite F's! Friends, Family and of course...lot's and lot's of food!

In a day and age where families are collectively on the go with packed schedules, the long weekend allows us to slow down and "smell the roses" -  or in many cases "smell the BBQ"!

It's an opportunity to take shelter in life's little treasures, like sharing laughs over a cookout, sitting on the porch and watching the fireworks and listening to the giggles of kids playing in the yard.

We had our own little celebration at our first Annual 4th of July BBQ at our office in Orange County, California! Lot's of sunshine, yummy food, treats and a game of darts for great prizes!

We hope you have a wonderful and safe weekend this Independence Day, and of course don't forget to Play Dolls!

Que The Adora Dolly Reviews...All The RAVE!

Sharing some of the Rave Reviews we've been receiving from our ADORA-ble Dolly Friends! Pop by and read all about us ((((blushing))))!

Alissa from Fun Finds For Family shared her review complete with pix of her real live doll enjoying our Adora Playtime Baby

A super Review from Mommi Niri

"I love lifelike – makes it easier to cuddle. The first thing I noticed about these Adora dolls are they are weightier so feels closer to an actual baby.  Now with 2 girls in the house you actually consider yourself a doll connoisseur of sorts (no prizes for betting how many we have in this house). The one sweet thing about this doll, that honestly my kids won’t know or understand, is that she smells of baby powder. If you close your eyes you almost feel achy for that time your kids smelled that way. My 6 year old immediately took her into the upper bunk and she remains there for her snuggle each night and sleeps with her arm wrapped around it."
