Show and Tell Tuesday: Memory Lane Edition

It is time for another fun linkup with Andrea.

Linking up HERE 

Today we are looking back and talking about some of our favorite things as children.....

I always say I am such a 90's girl but more so because I graduated High School and then went to College in the 90's and when I look back, before I had my little fam, those were my favorite years.

BUT...my childhood was blessed and I have some fun memories/favorite things to share with you today...looking at the other posts from my blogging friends, I thought I would follow their lead and share some childhood faves....

SUMMERS

I LOVED Summers as a kid.  I loved the days at the beach, the trips to Canobie Lake, our Family Vacations but especially our days in our very own pool.  I can still see the water sparkling...hear the splashes from our cannon balls and smell the blooms of our large lilac bush.  I was blessed with a wonderful childhood and I reminisce about our summers every....darn...week....

TOYS

and speaking of Summers, I also loved to play with my Seaweed Dolls outside.  I would turn on the garden hose and make a waterfall with it and play with the dolls in the water...do you ever remember having these?  They made a great tubby toy too :)

and I must say that the Kodak Disc camera was a big hit one Christmas too...I ended up snapping many pics of my toys ;)

BUT my favorite toys of all....always...were my Cabbage Patch Kids...I ended up with 6 when all was said and done...I was kinda obsessed

 MUSIC

Growing up music was a big part of my life because dance was.  I danced several hours per week and participated in many shows including the Boston Ballet's Nutcracker.  I always loved music because of that but as I got to 5th and 6th grades, I became even more "in tuned" to Top 40 hits.  I loved Michael Jackson, Madonna and Whitney Houston, lots of Top 40 including "Private Lover" by Stevie Wonder (I know so random!) and then I loved The Jets.  BUT No one will ever compare to Bon Jovi- I swear the band helped get me through high school- I have seen them EIGHT TIMES in concert!

and a close second would be Debbie Gibson...I so wanted to be her!

 FASHION

Do you remember Multiples?  I LOVED them.  I only ended up with one outfit but it was always so comfy and you could change the look.  I found this FUN picture online...this is exactly how I remember them.

 Going further back, I tried to dress like Madonna BUT my favorite accessory, always, while trying to replicate her look, were the neon jelly bracelets of course!

 READING

I LOVED the Ramona Books, the Amelia Bedelia Books and the Harriet The Spy books as a child.

 and then Nancy Drew Books as I got a little older

That's it for now.  I would like to do a post soon that talks about my favorites of the 90's...I could write for days on that one...and probably will!
