When I was young my prized possessions were my stuffed animals and Cabbage Patch Kids. With an avid imagination and an affinity for all things cute, I spent every moment of my childhood with a teddy bear or doll in tow- exploring new worlds, playing Legos and board games or simply marveling at the cute button eyes of a furry friend or baby powder scent of ‘kids’ with such names as Adrienne Lulu, Patrick Warren and Roderick Albin (all great names for dolls belonging to a child with a major speech impediment).
