For Nostalgia's Sake

Back in the day when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore, but some days I sit and wish I was a kid again... ~Ahmad Ali Lewis

Remember back in the day when we were kids and life was so simple? When we didn't have to worry about anything. Not the complexities of adulthood, infertility or trying to start a family? Here are some of my favorite things from when I was a little kid:


Cartoons
My favorite cartoons were the Smurfs and the Thundercats, and I am not ashamed to admit I will be going to see the 2011 Smurfs re-make in 3-D





SITCOM TV SHOWS
Remember when TV shows were positive and used to be about the happy side of family life?

The Cosby Show



Family Matters




Growing Pains




Punky Brewster



TOYS
These were my favorite toys as a kid. Many of these toys are vintage collector's items now and I plan on getting some of them for my future kids...

My Little Pony



Operation



Pound Puppies




Star Wars


Strawberry Shortcake



McDonald's

Didn't you just love to go to McDonald's to see Ronald, Early Bird, Grimace and the Hamburgler? Remember when Ronald and his buddies did all of the McDonald's commercials? McDonald's had the greatest collectors glasses from 80's movies and the best collector's plates.







MOVIES
These were some of my favorite movies as a kid and I still enjoy watching them now!

ET



Gremlins



Star Wars the Empire Strikes Back




Star Wars Return of the Jedi





The Goonies




The Karate Kid
