Nostalgia...

I tend to be very nostalgic a lot of times. Remembering bits and pieces of things that used to sooth or entertain me as a child. Here are some of my favorite things when I was little:

Many many nights, my sister and I would fall asleep to Dumbo after having cookies and milk... something about that movie was so comforting and in combination with the yummy fudge cookies it was such a treat




 The Last Unicorn was a gift given to me by one of my relatives (can't remember who) but I loved that movie, I still remember the song it was really pretty.
 

 Alvin and the Chipmunks were one of my favorite cartoons of all times

 Blossom was always such a fun show.. I'll never forget the episode where she acts like Madonna

 I had this and a few other barbies growing up, I remember the sweet smelling solid perfume this barbie came with and how I used to design and sew little clothes for all my barbies


 I grew up in a french school in downtown Toronto and the school was very small but one thing I remember is the J'aime Lire collection we had in our humble library. I loved reading those books because the illustrations were so vivid and the stories were so cute.


This show used to come on right before the Mickey Mouse Club on the Disney Channel and I used to love watching it, all the skits and music were awesome!



When I was very little I used to love Jem because she was just like a cartoon Barbie! The show went off the air though when I was very young so I didn't watch too many episodes.

This video of Madonna's song Who's That Girl always reminds me of the 80s because of the clothing. I loved Madonna's music growing up.

The elephant show was another of my favorites as a kid! I'm lucky to have grown up in Canada where we had awesome kids shows. That mixed education and entertainment.

Another Canadian classic kids show was Today's Special... About a store mannequin who came alive after night when you said "hocus pocus alimagocus"


There are lots of other things that make me nostalgic about my childhood like Camp Caribou, Boy Meets World, Snakes and Ladders etc...
What kind of stuff do you miss?

Love
