My Joe Doll!

About a month ago, I decided that I wanted to find a way to take Joe with me where ever go. I came up with a few ideas and finally decided on how I would do this. I stumbled upon a website that creates dolls (pillows) for kids for when their dad is deployed, www.daddydolls.com. At first I thought that it was a bit strange to have a doll with Joe's picture on it. But then I just did it. Who says that only kids can have a daddy doll? This was one of the best things that I have bought.

Now, I can take Joe with me where ever I go. I just got my Joe Doll a few weeks ago and he has already been in the cockpit, been on a fire truck, been to Texas, been with me to get my surgery, and many more places. Here is a tiny sample of the places he has been!


I am also very excited that Joe's Steph Doll just arrived yesterday in the mail! I will be shipping her out to Afghanistan today! I can't wait to see what photo idea's Joe can come up with. 




I have a few more ideas about where my Joe Doll will go. Keep checking back to see where he pops up. I really wish I thought of this before he left! 

Do you have any cleaver ideas for deployments?

Am I crazy for having a doll that looks like my boyfriend?

  1. Haha I LOVE that you got one of those dolls, because all of the pictures you take with it will make an amazing scrapbook & it forces you to keep taking pictures even if you're technically "by yourself" :)

    1. That's such a great idea! I am currently obsessed with the photo books that you put together online and get printed. Hopefully once Joe is back, I can actually have time/the space to scrapbook. Thanks for stopping by!

    1. You really should. I am pretty sure it is owned by a military family. They took less than 2 weeks to get to my house! I am really impressed by the quality of them. Hope you are doing we :)

  3. Steph - "Have you seen a doll"
    Hotel - "Like a baby doll"
    Steph - "No, like my boyfriend"

    1. You really should! I am telling you, this is by far one of the best things that I have come up with. I take him with me everywhere. He is small enough to fit in my purse. People love it! Thanks for checking out my blog! I hope to see you soon!
