"Go Play!" - It's National "Summer Leisure" Day!

In stark contrast to other orders they may receive from you at times, kids most likely jump at the opportunity when they are told to "Go Play!"

Surprisingly though, we should be telling ourselves to do the same thing!

Somewhere along the road between childhood and adulthood, we restrain our imaginations, stifle our abilities to play in joyful abandon and turn in our "fun" caps for "responsibility" caps. The truth is that playing can be a great source for stress management, helping with adaptability, fostering relationships while also helping to manage negative emotions and experiences. Playing nourishes the small creative parts of us that may lay forgotten in the hustle and bustle of everyday life!

It's true, "playing" can be equally beneficial for you as it is for your kids. There is scientific evidence that this basic biological drive may be as vital to our health as food and sleep!

So there it is, do you need anymore reasons to get out there and play? Get out there and relive your childhood, and of course, don't forget to bring your Adora Dolls!

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!
