Natalie here!
I'm making this post really quickly before we leave for camp, so it's gonna be pretty short. Taylor picked the name Sugar! It was suggested by an anonymous commenter, so we're not 100% sure who it was... Anyway, thanks so much! We'll update you from camp soon.

OUR 50TH POST!!!!!
WOW!! We've finally posted 50 times (including this post)! I know that that's really not a lot when you consider that there are blogs that post like, three times a day, but it's something :P I don't think that any of us ever thought that we would get this far! I guess that there's really not a lot of other things to say... oh well. Thank you to all of our wonderful readers!
Emily
P.S.- Make sure that you give Taylor a few name suggestions HERE! The deadline is May 29th. We've received some AWESOME suggestions! See if you can come up with something even better!

Taylor Still Needs Your Help!
Hey guys,
It's Natalie again. We still need some suggestions for Taylor's counselor name!! You can check out the original post HERE. We've received a few really great suggestions, but unfortunately Taylor is not allowed to use her real name in her counselor name (for security reasons, I guess,) and these used her name. You can still help, though! Taylor's thinking that she wants her name to be something cute, maybe something that has to do with working in the kitchen? It doesn't have to be about the kitchen, that's just an idea. The deadline for name suggestions is Friday, May 29th; we leave for Camp Little Lake on the 30th. Just leave your suggestion in a comment, or in our suggestion survey (RIGHT HERE!). Be creative! Counselor names are supposed to be silly :P We'll make a post before we leave for camp telling you what Taylor chose.
Natalie, A.K.A. Green Bean

Help Taylor Out!
Natalie here!
Taylor asked me to help her out with something. Help us decide what her counselor name will be! Every counselor at Camp Little Lake has a funny nickname, and Taylor can't figure out what she wants hers to be! My nickname last year was Green Bean, and Saige's was Sparky. We get called the same thing every year, so we don't have this problem ;) Help us out! Every idea that we've come up with, Taylor had rejected; maybe you can come up with something better? We'll pick from these suggestions (unless we come up with something else here.) Maybe something that has to do with working in the kitchen? We need all of the suggestions by Friday, May 29th, because we leave for camp the next day. Leave your suggestions in the comments, it'll be greatly appreciated! By the way, the camp director doesn't want us to use our real names in the counselor name :)
Thanks for helping us out!

Preparing For Camp!
Hey guys! Taylor, Natalie, and Saige here!
As you may remember, Saige and I were counselors at Camp Little Lake last year.
We're going to be counselors again this year! We filled and sent out our applications a few weeks ago, but we took pictures to show you what they looked like.
I got to be a counselor this year too! I'm very excited. The only bad thing is that I have to work in the kitchen; I wanted to work with Natalie and Saige in the craft cabin.
Hey! At least you got to work there this year, Taylor!
That's true... I just don't want to wash dishes all day.
We're packing today, we need to be at the camp on May 30th so we can set up stuff and go through a bit of training. The campers will get there on June 14th. Last year they only gave us a day to set up!
I'm glad that they gave us a few weeks to prepare this time. We didn't even finish training last year! It was a bit of a disaster.
The pool wasn't even filled up by the time that the campers started to arrive. It was chaos!
Okay, we need to finish packing now. Do you think that this post was too short?
Nah. There's not a lot to be said.
So I guess that we're done!
Thanks for reading!

Some More Blogging Tips!
Hey y'all!
Taylor and I finally came up with our blogging tips! You can read the first post HERE. Here goes nothing!
Taylor and I finally came up with our blogging tips! You can read the first post HERE. Here goes nothing!
1. Keep your blog a happy place!
I think that this tip is pretty self-explanatory... Just try not to post really sad/upsetting stuff on a normally happy blog. There's a chance that you'll upset some of your readers, and you most likely wouldn't want to do that! We usually try to post happy things here on Emily and Friends; that's how a lot of doll blogs are.
2. Try to keep a schedule!
This schedule doesn't have to be super detailed if you don't want it to be. I recommend that you should try to at least know how often you're going to post something. Some people go super in-depth, like knowing exactly which post that they're going to make months in advance. As you maybe able to tell, we don't do that here (We're working on making a schedule, but with the end of school coming up, it's getting a little tough).
I know that these tips weren't as useful as some of the tips in the earlier post, but I hope that you find them to be useful anyway :D

An Interview With Taylor
Molly here!
I hope that you're all still enjoying these interview posts... Let me know if you're getting tired of them :) If you have any questions for Saige, Elizabeth, or Kaya, let me know in the comments! I'll ask them in their interviews. Let's begin!
I'm so happy that you're here!
Thanks! I'm happy to be here too. What kind of questions do you have for me?
Lots of kinds, let's start. How old are you?
Twelve.
What kinds of things interest you?
Fashion, hair, that kind of thing. And outer space.
What's your favorite TV show?
Probably Project Runway. It's so cool to see all of the different fashions!
Favorite book?
The Tale of Despereaux. I answered that in the Q&A post! Were you stealing other people's questions?
What, No! That was just a question that I thought up. Let's keep going. If you had to be from another doll line, which would it be?
Hmm. Hard question. Either Barbie or Animator's Collection. Probably Barbie because of all the different clothes and accessories!
What's your favorite subject in school?
Science! I love learning about the solar system and outer space.
Least favorite subject?
Does recess count? I do NOT like sports AT ALL. Or participating in them, anyway.
That's all that I have here! Do you want to add anything else?
Ooh yeah! Ashleigh wanted to know if you guys would be interested in seeing more stuff about Piper. Stuff like photoshoots and other things. Let me know in the comments or the suggestion survey!

One Year Blogiversary!
Hooray!
Emily and Friends turned one year old on February 12th!!! Sorry that we didn't get to post on the actual day, we may or may not have thought that it was the 28th, not the 12th...... WOW, this year has gone by so quickly! So much amazing stuff has happened here in the past 12 months :D Not only did we get a new member of our doll family, but we now have 17 followers and over 3,100 pageviews. We'd just like to say THANK YOU!!!!! We have had so much fun writing for this blog, and we just want to say THANK YOU AGAIN!!!!
Now our owner wants to say a few words...
Ashleigh here! I'm actually sort of surprised that my dolls kept this blog running for so long... I really thought that they would forget about it a few weeks after they created it! Anyway, like Emily said above two times, THANK YOU!!! It has to be said multiple times because it's so true! I'm so proud of all of the dolls for doing this! Almost everybody has posted something here, and I hope that they'll all try to post something this year... I'm looking at you, Elizabeth and Kaya.
On a less happy note, I just thought that I would put it out there now, but I'm not planning on adding any more American Girl dolls to my collection. I've run out of space in my room, and I don't have anywhere else in my house to store my dolls. I'm also saving up my money for other things, like another reborn doll. I just wanted to tell you that now!
Back to fun stuff! All of the dolls have decided to say a little something to all of you! You can find the font color guide in the "Meet the Dolls" page, in case you didn't know who was typing :)
I'm SO SO SO happy that we've been here for a whole year!
Ditto to Saige! There will be some more interviews here soon... We're re-doing my reporting room, so it might be a while ;)
Has it really been a year? It sure doesn't seem so! I remember our first post... My hair looked awful :P And we thought that it would only be the three of us posting!
Natalie was right, her hair did look awful there! I'm only kidding, that's just what sisters do! Now that I look at my picture on the "Meet the Dolls"page, I look kinda bad too! Nobody looks amazing there; I should re-take everybody's picture... I guess that that's what I'll be doing this year...
Even though I haven't done much for this blog, I love it! Thanks so much for being an Emily and Friends reader!
You've already heard my opinion ;P Elizabeth and Kaya both said thanks, but since they haven't done anything here, they didn't say anything else about this whole thing... But we still included them in this picture :D
It's not the best, some of us didn't focus on the camera; but we had taken so many photos already, we were tired ;)
Thanks so much!
Emily and Friends

A Post Featuring Many Updates
Greetings from Emily!
Before I start, I have a very important update. We have updated our blog, so we now have a new, easier to read font; and font colors! We've updated our old posts, too. I've color-coded the posts according to who's writing. I (Emily) post in black ink. Taylor posts in pink ink. Saige posts in blue ink, and Natalie posts in purple ink. Back to my post!
Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry that we haven't posted in a while! We've been SUPER BUSY lately! While we were gone, a lot of stuff happened, like......
OUR OWNER'S BIRTHDAY!!!!! All of the dolls chipped in some money to buy her a mini Kirsten doll! Yay! She's been wanting a mini doll for a while...We were going to do a post on it, but we got too busy :P
It was also Taylor's birthday! She shares a birthday with our owner, August 30th. We got her a pearl necklace.
We're starting school on Monday! We go to Maple Meadows Doll School. Some of us are not as excited as others...
Also, BeForever has launched. I know that we don't sound excited, but we are... It's just a big change to get used to. Our owner just wants a 1950s BeForever doll. Or for American Girl to bring Kirsten out of the archives like they did with Samantha. Maybe next year....
Another reason that we haven't posted in a while is that we've been feeling crafty lately, but we don't know what to make! We'd LOVE LOVE LOVE to have your suggestions! If you have an idea, just tell us in the comments, please! Natalie and Saige have been wanting to do some crafts ever since they got back from camp. They got to work in the craft cabin!
We just made a survey! You can find it at the top of the page. Click on where it says "Help us improve our blog, please!", and click on the link there. Thanks!
Well, that's pretty much all that's happened during our break! Remember to leave some comments and/or take our survey to tell us your craft/future post suggestions!

Return of The Campers- A Photostory!
Natalie here!!
HEY GUYS!!! I've missed seeing all of you! Well, not seeing all of you, but you know what I mean. Anyways, I am so happy to be back from camp! I was told when I got home that I was supposed to put together the first ever photostory for the blog, so I will. This is....

The (Very Short) Story of What Happened When I Got Back From Camp
Saige and I were packing up our belongings at Camp Little Lake, when the camp director, Abigail, told us to finish up so we could load our stuff onto the bus. We got onto the bus, and we left camp.
The bus driver dropped us off at home. The first thing that we saw when we walked into the door was Emily and Taylor holding up a big sign that said "WELCOME HOME!".
When we put down our bags, Taylor ran over and gave me a big hug.
Once I managed to shake Taylor off of me, I put my clothes into the washing machine and headed upstairs. When I got upstairs, I took a well-deserved bath. Camp is dirty!
When I was finished, Saige took a bath while I took my clothes out of the dryer (Emily switched my clothes around) and put them away. After I unpacked, I took a looong nap.
THE END
Thanks for reading!
Natalie
P.S.- Sorry this is late! Friday was SUPER busy 'cause I had just gotten back from camp; and yesterday I was still fixing the photos for this post.

7 More Days!
Greetings from Taylor!
Guess what?! Natalie and Saige are coming home in 7 more days! WOO HOO!! We got another letter today; this one's from Saige:
Hey Emily and Taylor!
Saige here! Camp is so awesome! It's hard to believe that it's over next Friday... I'm going to miss it here a lot :( I really can't wait to see you guys!! Maybe Natalie and I will post one or two of the crafts that we did there on the blog. The camp director, Abigail is super nice! Did Natalie tell you that we have to have silly counselor names? My nickname is Sparky and Natalie's nickname is Green bean. We can't tell the campers our actual names; it's so hard to not call Natalie by her real name! Some of the other counselor's nicknames are Bubbles, Mittens, Ninja, Spill, and Dill (Spill and Dill are identical twins so it's super hard to tell them apart! I called Spill Dill, and I called Dill Spill for the first 2 weeks!). We have free time every Saturday and Sunday because campers arrive every week on Monday, and they leave every Friday.
See you on Friday!
Saige (A.K.A. Sparky)
So hopefully we can do a photostory on Friday showing when Natalie and Saige come home, but our camera isn't particularly nice. It's actually our owner's laptop! She has a camera but nobody can find the cord that connects it to the computer so we don't take very many pictures. That's the reason that we haven't done any photostories yet! Do you think that our laptop takes good enough pictures for us to do a photostory? Tell us in the comments please! That would be awesome :)
Bye!

Hairstyling Tips and Tricks With Taylor
Hi dolls!
Taylor here once again! So, this post would have been written by Natalie, but as you probably know, she's off at camp until the end of the month *sigh*. Since Natalie's kind-of the go-to hair girl here, I'm going to try to take her place, because I am her sister. Also, I have to do the most with my hair every day to keep it looking semi-decent, so I'm pretty good with hair too. This is going to be in a Q&A format; so here it goes!
How do you keep your hair looking so smooth and shiny?
We keep our hair shiny and smooth by 1) not touching it a lot, and 2) doing very simple styles, A.K.A. ponytails and braids. We brush our hair often, and when it's needed, we'll spray some water onto our hair before we brush it. Make sure to NOT get any water into your doll's eyes!
Is there any certain way to brush your doll's hair?
Not really, but just be sure that you don't use a lot of force, and always use a wire brush! Make sure that you only brush straight and wavy haired dolls; not curly haired dolls like Caroline, MyAG #26, or MyAG #44 (hey, that's me!)
How do you deal with those annoying little pieces of hair that just refuse to cooperate?
We recently discovered that brushes that people use on a baby's hair work amazingly on our hair to keep those pesky pieces of hair down! Just brush down the piece of hair after you've competed the style, and viola! The hair behaves!
What do you do to take care of Taylor's hair?
This question seems geared more toward our owner, but since it's about me, I'm going to answer it anyway. Very simply, don't do much to it; pigtails and braids are the maximum amount of styling that my hair can handle without turing into a frizzy nightmare. Also, NEVER EVER brush curly doll hair! Our owner brushed my hair once, and it was a complete disaster. Many hours of spritzing hair and finger styling curls later, our owner learned her lesson.
Good luck with your hair, and thanks for reading!

We recently discovered that brushes that people use on a baby's hair work amazingly on our hair to keep those pesky pieces of hair down! Just brush down the piece of hair after you've competed the style, and viola! The hair behaves!
What do you do to take care of Taylor's hair?
This question seems geared more toward our owner, but since it's about me, I'm going to answer it anyway. Very simply, don't do much to it; pigtails and braids are the maximum amount of styling that my hair can handle without turing into a frizzy nightmare. Also, NEVER EVER brush curly doll hair! Our owner brushed my hair once, and it was a complete disaster. Many hours of spritzing hair and finger styling curls later, our owner learned her lesson.
Good luck with your hair, and thanks for reading!

Another camper??
Greetings from Taylor!
So guess what! Our owner is going to camp next week too....without us! I really wish that I could have gone to Camp Little Lake with Natalie and Saige! We really tried to convince her to let us go with her, but she just wouldn't budge on her word. Here's how our conversation went:
Owner: Quick reminder, dolls! I'm going to camp next week!
Me: Can we go?
Owner: Nah, you might get lost, dirty, ruined, broken......the list goes on.
Me: Please? I'll be careful!
Owner: Haven't we had this conversation before?
Me: Umm.... (On a side note, we have had this conversation 3 times before)
Owner: Just what I thought. You know that I love you girls, but I want you to be safe. Besides, I'll only be there for a week!
Me: But a week is 7 days long!!
Owner: And?
Me: That's a long time of not being played with!
Owner: You'll survive. You can hang out with some of my other dolls, too!
Me: Like who? I already know all of your American Girl dolls!
Owner: Well, I have the Disney Animator's Collection dolls, some Monster High dolls, and a few Ever After High dolls, too. You can also clean up your bedroom with Emily... hint, hint. It's a mess.
Me: Okay...
Owner: You'll be fine.
Me: Alright.
And guess what? I met the Ever After High girls, and they're super nice and cool! Our owner has 6 of them; Cedar Wood, Apple White, Cerise Hood, Maddie Hatter, Raven Queen, and C.A. Cupid. I think that I'll be hanging out with them a lot next week :)

Happy First Day of Summer!
Hi dolls!
Taylor here... Happy first day of summer!! This is going to be a really short post...oh well. We have a hermit crab now! His name is Herman. He enjoys pinching fingers :P We got a short letter from Natalie today!! Here's what she wrote:
Hi Taylor and Emily!
Long time no see! Camp Little Lake is so amazing! Saige and I are having a GREAT time working in the arts and crafts cabin. The dolls here are super nice and friendly. So far, we've made model magic bugs, marshmallow monsters, and lots of bracelets. We'll try to send in some pictures soon. I have to go help, my next group is coming in!
See you soon,
Natalie
P.S.- Saige says "HI!!"

Thoughts About Isabelle (And Other Stuff)
Hi Dolls!
It's Emily here.. It's been 3 days since Saige and Natalie have left for Camp Little Lake, so I'm feeling a bit lonely. (A note from Taylor- You think you're lonely? Natalie's my sister!) Continuing with my post, our owner has been thinking about getting Isabelle more and more lately. Funny thing, though; at first, our owner didn't like Isabelle AT ALL. She was complaining about how she looked like a lot of the other Girl of The Year dolls. Then she started looking at her a little more, and now she's saying that she might get her... What?? One day she's complaining about her, now she wants to buy her? She told us yesterday that she realized that Elizabeth is the only blonde doll that she owns, so she would be OK with having another blonde doll. I hope that this means that we would get her after we get Addy, 'cause I've been looking forward to meeting Addy for a while. Isabelle seems like a nice doll, though. Taylor LOVES her coral sweater; she won't stop talking about it! It's a nice sweater, but I don't plan on wearing it.
Now from Taylor, in pink ink, who kept bugging me until I let her type.
I really don't have much to tell you, but first, I wasn't bugging Emily that much... But anyways, I get to take care of Saige's bird Tallulah while she's at camp. She's really awesome and cool. Not Saige, I mean Tallulah, haha. I wanted to be a counselor too, but I forgot to send in my application form on time... Oh well, maybe next year :P
Bye!

Our homemade clothing
Hi!
It's Taylor here. Today I'm going to show you our small collection of doll clothing that our owner has made for us. Our models today are Saige, Natalie, and me (Taylor).
First, we have Saige modeling a hand-knit sweater dress, Saige's meet outfit boots, and Kaya's belt.
Next, we have Natalie wearing a skirt, shirt, and cape, and a pair of shoes from one of Elizabeth's outfits (we don't know which outfit.. ugh).
Now we have lovely me wearing a button print dress, headband, and the same shoes as Natalie.
Saige again, wearing her meet dress, two different hand-crocheted sweaters, and her meet outfit boots.
Natalie is modeling her meet outfit shirt, the pants from the retired bowling set, and 2 different aprons.
I hope you've enjoyed our little fashion show! Comment and tell us which outfit was your favorite!

Emily in Different Outfits
Hey guys, Taylor here.
I know what you're thinking, Is there really a reason for this post? My answer- Not really! But! This is big news for us dolls here because.. Guess what! Emily's never come out of her meet dress! Not once! Never! This is really unusual for us because our owner is one to dress her dolls up in new outfits as soon as they come out of their boxes. Our owner was afraid that her dress would get messed up/lost if she changed. We aren't really sure why Emily hasn't mentioned something about this before, but now she has and our owner agreed to let her try on some new clothing!
Here she is in Natalie's meet outfit, the skirt and shirt.
And in the sweet school dress.

I just thought that you'd like to see this momentous occasion :) Now Emily's putting her meet outfit on again because she needs to have that on all the time unless she's dressing up for a new post or something :P
Bye!

Welcome to Emily and Friends!
Hi everyone! It's Emily! I created Emily and Friends to show you some cool stuff about dolls and make some fun crafts. We'll mostly have doll crafts here, and maybe a short story here and there (but I'm not the one you should be asking about stories :). Most of this blog will be from my point of view, but the other dolls will probably post a bit, too. We have 7 American Girl dolls here, Emily (that's me!), Saige, Elizabeth, Molly, Kaya, Taylor (MyAG# 44), and Natalie (MyAG# 43). Most of the posting will be done by Saige, Taylor, Natalie, and me.
Thanks for visiting!
Emily
