I was born in 1981, so it's probably safe to say I grew up in the coolest era around! Who doesn't love the 80's? ok ok, the 90's were a hit too!! My kids love hearing stories about the past, they love seeing old pictures and checking out the toys we had, shows we watched and clothes we wore! So what better idea for a blog post then a flash back of some super cool things we enjoyed from the 80's and 90's! Share this walk down memory lane with your little ones!
Popping your shoes into these expandable bad boys meant you could skate the day away!
Todays Special! You know you loved it when Jeff came to life and you wished you lived in muffies cute little apartment
You heard the bell ringing and you went running strait to the Dickie Dee for a Phantom with the bubble gum nose or a Baseball glove with the bubble gum ball! This guy rocked!
Wuzzles were all the rage!
Heck yeah you watched people get slimed on "You Cant Do that on Television" and you are well aware that this show is where Alanis Morrisette started her career!
The chip bags looked like this and they always had something cool in a little plastic wrap inside the bag for you to open.
Store bought Halloween costumes in full effect!
Mildly inappropriate or not, you saw this movie as a kid!
When Mcdonalds sold these adorable stuffies, you had to have one!
Another pretty rad Mcdonalds meal toy, memory!
Look familiar? Classic Doctors kit!
Punkys were oh so yummy
Although you were probably a little young to be watching this show at the time, you watched it and loved it! I still remember my precious Luke Perry t-shirt!
You have probably danced to Michael Jacksons Thriller, or you were like me, a little young and frightened by the video!
If you didn't have this, someone you knew did! You also remember Saturday Night Main Event!
You remember lines like "Show Time Synergy" and how cool was it when Jerrica touched her magic earring and turned into Jem! Those misfits were always up to no good!
Big Wheels were one word; AWESOME!!!
It even had a garage! This Fisher Price Little People house was great!
Messy but so freakin' fun!!!!!
Tear Jerkers a.k.a Sour Balls were a real hit!
The Polka Dot Door was a Childhood classic! How sneaky was Polkaroo? and who didn't adore Bear, Marigold, Humpty and Dumpty!
Chipmunks Christmas a holiday fave!
Devil Sticks were all the rage!
See through phones! (with a cord) ancient and fun!
Boy Meets World! Love it!

You know you're thinking of the catch phrase "Silly Rabbit, Trix are for kids"
I totally had this Kool Aid man cup
Prior to microwaves, there was Jiffy Pop!
Gross but pretty darn funny
Way to go Rick Moranis! Excellent childhood entertainment!
Spoke beads that made that awesome sound on your banana seat bike! Pretty wicked dude!
No doubt about it, these were your boys! You can still name all five steps from the hit song "Step by Step" and you totally always wished you were the little girl they brought on stage in their music videos!
You most likely at some point carried something like this to school! The thermos had it's special spot in the lunch box! We never even had ice packs back then, how did we survive?
You have definitely tried to not Break The Ice!
You also took a liking to this "ICE" and thought it was ridiculously cool how he had a cameo in one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies!
You cheered for little Kevin as he cleverly outsmarted robbers Harry and Marv but as an adult you wonder why he didn't just call the Police
The ever popular Treasure Trolls! I think I even had Treasure Troll earrings.
Amazing memory! We had the best stickers; scratch and sniff, fuzzy, shiny, puffy! Stickers were incredibly fun to collect and trade!
Soother necklaces, still trying to figure out why these were cool? At any rate I owned quite a few of them.
One of my favourite books back in the day
Educational and fun! These books were fantastic!
