'90s Kid...Through and Through!

Now, this might date me a bit (even though I don't think I'm that old--just in my upper 20s), but I'm not quite sure I could have been more of a '90s kid if I had deliberately tried. I saw some awesome pins on Pinterest about  90s kids favorites, so I thought I'd share it for any other '90s kids out there! (Hopefully I'm not the only one? I feel old..haha!)


Ohhh, I loved these books SO much! So many good ones!!

 Yeah, I was basically obsessed with stick-on earrings! I wore them all the time before I got my ears pierced--so fun!

 This is one of those songs that I will never forget the lyrics to, like ever...also, the show was hysterical!

 Greatest game show ever made is absolutely true! True confession time: last summer, I actually found (and started Tivo-ing) old episodes of this show that were shown on some random Nick channel....hah!

Think of every neon color you can imagine and I'm pretty sure one of my sisters or I had jellies in that color, hahaha...

Polly Pockets! These adorable little sets of fun kept me occupied for many hours on long car rides....they are still at my family's house and I'm absolutely saving them for a daughter or niece one day! :)

Puffy Paint! I LOVED Puffy Paint so much! Although now I look back at the pictures and wonder what on earth I was thinking wearing t-shirts with puffy paint scribble on them..hah!

Anyone else have favorites from the '90s? I'm sure there are tons that I left out, but these were some of my favorites! :)

Holiday Blog Challenge Day 1: Favorite Gift Received EVER


Starting today, I'm linking up with Neely and Amber for the Holiday Blog Challenge!

Today's topic: Favorite Gift Received EVER!

I have gotten many fabulous gifts throughout my life, but narrowing it down to just ONE favorite: My LiteBrite that I got when I was about 6 or 7 years old!

I can't exactly remember if I got this as a birthday or Christmas gift because I really can't remember when this wasn't a part of my life growing up, haha...

All I know is that I spent countless hours making pictures with those bright colored little pegs! My sisters and I loved creating cute pictures and designs..and writing each other messages on the LiteBrite. (Because I guess we didn't have paper or pencils??!? Haha...)
 

I SO regret telling my mom to give my LiteBrite away when I was a "I'm-too-cool-for-this" teenager.... :( But much to my surprise, they actually STILL make LiteBrites now! And I have to say, they are way cooler than the version I had---it comes with a flat screen now. What the heck?? That is awesome!

And speaking of LiteBrites -- imagine my surprise when I was at Old Navy on Black Friday at about 2am and saw a "retro" LiteBrite t-shirt!  I was thisclose to buying that shirt...so cute! Oddly enough, it is not available on Old Navy's website. I may be making another trip back to the store to get it! :)
