Real Moms Talk About: Barbie And The Diamond Castle

A lot of women in my generation grew up on Barbie – and many of us, like me, swore we wouldn’t have them for our girls. They are unrealistic and didn’t portray the type of role model we wanted for our girls. Inevitably, as we started having girls, Barbie made her way in anyway. She’s popular, she’s pretty and girls love her!

So of course, while my girls don’t have a lot of Barbie stuff – when the Barbie movies started coming out they were excited and I was leary. I was pleasantly surprised. The first Barbie movie we watched was wonderful – the graphics and quality was great, and the story line was fabulous.

The more recent movie we’ve seen was Barbie and the Diamond Castle and like the previous Barbie movies, we enjoyed it a lot. The movie follows two friends who find a girl trapped in a mirror and after losing their home, they go on a mission to rescue the girl and save everyone.

Through-out the movie there are great lessons mixed in on forgiveness, friendship and knowing what’s really important – money or friendship. Barbie shows girls that being beautiful is about being kind, being a good friend, and being honest and trustworthy. Through her movies, Barbie has definitely become a much better role model for our girls.

I definitely recommend Barbie and the Diamond Castle. Even though Christmas is already done, I also recommend Barbie in a Christmas Carol. AMAZING!
