I am so excited about playing Santa this week. I want to start with a great, Openheimer award winning toy, that is a such an inspiration to girls. They?re called Go Go Sports Girls Dolls and I am a huge fan of the dolls ‘m not the only one. the dolls will be featured later this week on the Today Show! I’m not only a fan of the dolls but of their designer, Jodi Norgaard, too. She was generous enough to donate some dolls to an event I had earlier this year. I have some left and I want to share them with some very deserving young girls.

To enter the first #SMILE_On giveaway please leave a comment on this blog telling me why you, or someone close to you, needs a Go Go Sports Girl this holiday. We?re going to pay our good luck forward. So if you win this giveaway you won?t get just one doll, you?ll get two! One for your family, and one to give away. Because the chance to give is the greatest gift of all.

Our hearts swell, our souls lift, and we feel powerful in a time of powerlessness. We all need that. Me too.
