Barbies have always been fascinating to me, and the pretend play that goes along with them. While my husband was deployed to Iraq, first with the United States Army, and then with the State Department I began as an adult to collect them. It was therapeutic for me and the little girls from military families whom I shared the dolls with. We have now moved to Germany with the State Department. Guess what, I brought the Barbies, and will share them here too!
