Cabbage Patch Fun to Feed Babies Giveaway

Cabbage Patch Doll

When I was a little girl I loved playing school with my dolls and stuffed animals. I was always the teacher and my dolls were my pupils. My best students were my Cabbage Patch Dolls, of course. I had my very own doll, but I also had my sisters’ dolls passed down to me. I have a sister who is 10 years older than me, and another who is 8 years older than me. They both had a Cabbage Patch doll, and I always thought their dolls kind of took after their looks. As such, I named their dolls after them. Even though my brothers liked to make fun of my Cabbage Patch Dolls, I sure liked to love on them.

Cabbage Patch Doll Sarena Ashley

While some of the dolls are definitely cuter than others, I just had to get one for my little girl. I think it’s awesome that Cabbage Patch dolls are around again for this generation to enjoy (the cute ones anyway). Brielle got her first Cabbage Patch doll, Sarena Ashley, and she’s perfect! I’m not sure that I’m fond of the boy dolls, but Sarena is a cutie! She even has a few strands of pink hair, which Brielle LOVES, since pink is her favorite color!

Cabbage Patch Doll

I love seein’ my girl with her doll! Sarena Ashley is actually part of the 30th anniversary Cabbage Patch Kid collection. I just think she’s super cute.

Now, as I watch my daughters play with cabbage patch dolls I realize how much my family has grown!
