The Only Hearts Club

Tweet

The Only Hearts Club is one of the hottest new things in the toy industry. We were lucky enough to win our very own Only Hearts Club doll from Kids Health Notes by entering one of their great giveaways.

Only Hearts Club dolls are real-looking dolls that have a great message behind them. The dolls not only have the look of a positive message but they are real looking and dress like your girls would dress. The Only Heart Club dolls were inspired by a series of books called the Only Hearts Club which strives to give girls a positive message and image outlook on life and themselves. They teach young girls to "listen to your heart and try to do the right thing."

The Only Hearts Club has a diverse and multicultural group of young girls who include Taylor Angelique, Karina Grace, Olivia Hope, Briana Joy, Lily Rose and Anna Sophia. These girls live in the same community and formed The Only Hearts Club which is a club with true friendship and a pledge to listen to their hearts, be nice to others and to do the right thing.

We were pleased with Briana Joy came to our home with her loveable pet dog. The girls took to her right away. These dolls are unlike any other on the market today, not only because of the positive message they try to instill in our girls, but the dools are soft, they are fully poseable as well. With my girls being bi-racial its also important to me that they can get dolls that are multicultural and they have dolls that look like them as well, Only Heart Club has a diversity to their dolls that actually look the part, not just the same doll with a different color hair and darker pigment to their skin. The Only Hearts Club dolls clothing is also stylish and hip, but look like something a young girl would be intended to wear and also is age appropriate. These dolls will be a new welcome doll into our home for future gifts and surprises. The fact that the dolls are fun to play with, and provide a coolness to 'do the right thing' and 'be positive' they're a great new toy to add to that toybox.

In honor of the contest, here's a healthy meal/recipe that can be made in 30 minutes or less.

Sweet Roasted Chicken Sandwich

Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 12 to 15 minutes

You Will Need
6 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
4 teaspoons honey
4 skinless, boneless chicken thighs, about 3 ounces each
4 large buns, plain or whole wheat
8 small romaine lettuce leaves
2 small ripe mangoes, sliced
2 scallions, thinly sliced (optional)
Salt and fresh-ground pepper


What to Do
1. Heat the oven to 350°F. Mix the mustard and honey together and season to taste.

2. Enlarge the hollow left by the bone in each chicken thigh, cutting to open them out; press to flatten them a little. Place the thighs, smooth side up, in a lightly oiled baking dish or small roasting pan. Set aside about 2 tablespoons of the honey and mustard mixture, and spread the remainder over the top of the chicken thighs. Roast until the juices run clear when a thigh is pierced with a knife, 12 to 15 minutes.

3. Meanwhile, split open the buns and toast them. Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, top with the mango slices and sprinkle with the scallions, if using. Spread the reserved honey and mustard mixture over the underside of the top halves.

4. Put the roasted chicken thighs on top of the mango and scallions, then top with the remaining lettuce. Put the tops of the bun on and press the sandwiches gently together.
