Monday Memories: Cabbage Patch Dolls

Posted on

 

I don’t know what recently made me think of these things, but weren’t they something special? (If you were an 80’s baby like me, anyway).

I had about 4 of these things, and you felt all the way official with the little birth certificate that came with them.  I thought I was something pretty special when I got one that had the ore regular doll hair as opposed to the yarn hair that you couldn’t do anything to but twist and braid.

Do little girls these days even really play with dolls anymore?


Monday Memories: Saturday Morning Cartoons – the good ones!

Posted on

One of my memories from childhood is Saturday morning cartoons.  I remember being at the age where I was old enough to get up and make myself some cereal, and on those rare occasions my mom didn’t get up running errands or cleaning the house, I would sit and watch cartoons – REAL CARTOONS (not these inappropriate crazy cartoons they have now).

Some of my favorites:

Tom and Jerry

The Jetsons

The Flinstones

Looney Tunes

Have a great week lovelies,

 

 

 

 

What were some of your favorite childhood cartoons??

A Love Affair to Play off

Posted on

A long time ago, when my husband and I were more financially challenged younger, we would have date nights at the house; and by house I mean one bedroom apartment totaling about 525 square feet..  Neither of us were really the going out types and lets be honest even if we were, we were broke couldn’t. 

So in our beginning stages, date night would consist of me cooking dinner, us watching the playoffs, and him helping me study for my nursing exams.  Side note:  I never became a nurse.

In those times my then boyfriend, was a stone cold, die hard Lakers’ fan and so all the games we watched had purple and gold in them.

We would eat, scream at the TV, and I would learn about nursing and what different plays were, why the refs were stopping the game, and who sucked and who was good.
