When I was a young girl, I loved my dolls, especially my fashion dolls. My sister and I would play for hours in our basement, holding fashion shows, planning elaborate weddings and experimenting with unique clothing combinations. I often dreamed of the day I would be able to play this way with my own daughters. Well, God saw fit to bless me with 2 amazing sons so my doll days are long behind me. Honestly, I’m glad I didn’t have to navigate the waters of the scantily clad fashion doll world that exists today. Parents of young girls today have so many negative images to filter out for their girls, that many I know have just caved to the pressure instead of fighting against the tide.
I am happy to tell you there is an alternative. Only Hearts Club is a line of dolls, clothes, accessories, pets and books with a modest, respectful and positive message. The theme of Only Heats Club is “Listen to your heart and do the right thing.” The line centers around 8 dolls Taylor Angelique-the animal lover, Karina Grace-the guitar playing dancer, Briana Joy-the athlete, Lily Rose-the nature lover, Olivia Hope-the hose lover,Anna Sopia-the cook, Kayla Rae-the artist and Hannah Faith- the shy skater & gymnast. They are all friends who respect each other and their individuality.
The dolls are beautiful. They are 9″ tall with soft, pose-able bodies. You can comb their hair, change their clothes and pose them into life-like positions.
You can purchase Only Hearts Club dolls and accessories at Target, Only Hearts Club, Target.com and other fine retailers. You can win this Olivia Hope doll from The Mom Maven!

All the girls are FUN! Briana Joy is so sweet and very active in sports! I think that is a great role model for young girls. She is a team player! My daughter loves dolls and stuffed animals! I encourage her to play as much as she wants with them.
My daughter would love Karina Grace, the guitar playing dancer. She loves music and loves to dance as well!

I would like Taylor Angelique or Karina Grace because 2 of my daughters have similar interests to these descriptions. They love dolls and would enjoy these normal dolls that are not so teenager-ish or over-developed like Barbie dolls. The names of the dolls are all very pretty.
