Childhood Favorites

How cute are these gummi lights? gummis_d_1162306300.jpg
They are a blast from the past.

I am a child of the 70’s and 80’s and I love the resurgence of everything 80s. My daughter plays with My Little Pony, has a strawberry shortcake doll and loves Hello Kitty. Secretly I love that my daughter plays with these things because I love them too and I get to play with them under the guise of being a good mom, and relive my childhood.

My son loves all the super heroes but men like Spiderman never go out of style. At least that is what the Hulk told me.

What things do you love from your childhood that now your children play with?

    My stepdaughter is out of the toy phase, but my son will soon be going into them. We watch Voltron together as I tivo it and watch it when I get off of work. I’m hoping he comes to love it, so that I have a legitimate excuse to by the set off of e-bay. I never got the chance to finish the set when I was a kid.
