My Friend Huggles – Mia and Lil B are BFF’s!

August 28, 2012 By: Calley Pate20 Comments

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to have new content delivered to your inbox! I hope to see you on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. I have a lot of information on rock painting and cloth diapers in my archives if you're interested! Thanks for visiting!

Nice to see you again! Hope you're having a fabulous day! Can I help you with anything? Contact Me!

Lil B and Mia - My Friend Huggles

My daughter has a new BFF, Mia.  Look at the smile on Lil’ B’s face as she met Mia for the first time.  She hugged her and hugged her all night long.  Mia is one of the new life-size (36″ in height) character dolls from My Friend Huggles out of Canada.  Mia is one of 6 dolls in the set of dolls who are as unique as their names.  There is Lily, Kira, Sophia, Rubi, Bia, and Mia and they each have their own character trait that they represent.  Mia’s special virtue is “honesty.”  

My Friend Huggles Special Virtue

You can see on the special ribbon tag above that the virtue is explained for the child.  I love the line “Saying I’m sorry is being brave.”  What a neat truth to teach to our children.  I made sure that I read over these the virtue tag with Lil’ B and talked with her about what it meant to be honest.  We struggle with this one at 3.5 yrs old – she’s always telling me “Brother hit me!” when he’s in another room playing quietly all by himself.

My Friend Huggles Forever Mark

This last image is a picture of Mia’s forever mark on her chest.  We’ve written Lil’ B’s name on her heart as a commitment to be her friend forever.  You can see the forever mark is written in both French and English.  I love that it encourages a second language as part of the learning (and I’m a little partial to French because that’s the language I studied in both high school and college).  I wonder if my BFF would let me write my name on her chest as a commitment to our friendship?? Although that may be a little weird as an adult.

My Friend Huggles

Mia resides on my daughters bed and I’m trying to get her to feel connected to Mia.  Lil’ B is struggling with bedtime and staying in her bed.  My husband and I have spoiled her this summer (ok, we’ve spoiled her for longer than that) and let her sleep with us more than she slept in her room.  She doesn’t like to sleep alone and gets scared when she hears noises (like the A/C turning on).  I’m trying to encourage her to hug Mia and know that Mia is her friend and will be with her, holding her hand all night long.  How’s that working out for us??  We’ll see!  We’ve only been working on this for about a week but she hasn’t made that bond or connection with Mia just yet to keep her in bed.

Would you like to know more about Mia and her friends?  Looking for a special friend for your little one?  Find them online (available to purchase starting in September 2012), their blog, Facebook, and Twitter to see what the girls are up to next!

    Mia or Lily would be my choice. They both kinda look like our 4 year old that is struggling with sleeping in her own bed.

    I really like the Bia doll, but I am a bit disappointed that there aren’t any boy dolls. Its my son that is having bedtime battling and there is no way he would go for a girl doll in his bed with him!

    Torn between a Mia/Lilly because they look like my little girl and Rubi because I love her glasses! I might show the pics to LL and let her point to one if I won 🙂

    I think having a doll that size you helps little one sleep in her own bed too. She’ll think mom is right there.
