Happy 67th Birthday, Barbie! 🎂 This Silver Edition Senior Citizen doll is thriving: gray ponytail, crow’s feet, stretchy loungewear, sensible flats, heating pad, prescriptions galore, and her WDNC Club handbook by Melani Sanders. Over it and owning it! #barbie #wedonotcareclub

Watch us on The Jennifer Hudson Show. My daughter Ashley surprised me with a shoutout. Did I do the ugly cry? Yes. Did Jennifer Hudson sweetly pass me a tissue? Yes! What a beautiful surprise. Thank you, Ashley and Jennifer! 💕

@Rocklady19731 Thank you! Happy Easter. 🐣

[Tonya Ruiz @GrandmaGetsReal]

Does this adorable miniature egg dyeing scene in my tiny kitchen bring back childhood memories? Those tiny cups of vibrant dyes and pastel eggs have me feeling nostalgic! Did you dye Easter eggs as a kid? What colors were your favorites? #EasterTraditions #Miniatures #barbiesize
