You know why you wanted one of these dolls? Because of the jingle from the commercial, which probably still lingers in the deep recesses of your mind.
The other day, my girlfriend Kamie wrote on Facebook that Jem and the Holograms was on TV. I can’t believe they have that show on again. It is the old show, with the bad makeup and hair from the ’80s. Her daughter thought it was hilarious and cheesy. Apparently you can reminisce by watching the old episodes on YouTube. […]
The Top 30 Most Awesome Toys You Could Get for Christmas in the '90s - Tis the Season to Stay Indoors
Let's be honest, you probably still want that Snoopy Sno-Cone Maker.
I. Love. Easy. Let's be honest here - I love to bake and create amazing food...but not for a classroom full of 6-year-olds who shove all they can into their mouths as quickly as they can before they pass out. I've learned over the years that, rather than spend my precious time cooking and baking homemade goodies for class parties, I'll just jazz up the pre-made crap. The end result is the same: sugar consumption. Why waste time, ladies?! Here we have The-Lazy-Mom's-Amazing-Looking-Halloween Treats! Credits: I found them on Pinterest. Love Pinterest. Nutter Butter ghosts dipped in vanilla almond bark, and cookie witch hats. Do they even look like witch hats? What witch has a bow on her hat, anyway? They definitely needed the bow...but I'm sure many of you are more capable of making prettier bows. I was in a hurry, folks. Besides, they're just going to be inhaled by kids who could care less if the bow is pretty. {I think it's just me who cares....} Some of those 'bows' kind of look like doggie turds. eww. Maybe I should have grossed the kids out by saying that! That would have been rad. For the ghosts you'll need: Almond Bark (that melty stuff over by the chocolate chips) Nutter Butter cookies Tiny chocolate chips. If you are an over-achiever, you could pipe some chocolate circles for the mouth. Melt the almond bark in a microwave for 20-30 seconds at a time, stirring each time. Maybe towards the end, you could stir it every 10 seconds. Then dip the cookies and roll them around with a fork, lif them out, tap off the excess, and set them on waxed paper. Put the eyes on before the chocolate hardens. Takes maybe 30 minutes---if you're slow. For the witch hats you'll need: {These took me 15 minutes--start-to-finish! GASP!} Circular fudge cookies Hershey kisses (better get 2 bags because you'll pretty much eat half.) Plastic baggie, corner clipped a teen, tiny bit Frosting - and color it whatever color you want. (1 stick butter, 4 c. powdered sugar, pinch of salt, 1 t. vanilla, some canned milk - blend it up, adding more canned milk as you need it. It needs to be thin enough to pipe but not too thin.) I did this assembly-line-style: Line up all of your cookies Unwrap all your kisses; keep them in a little bowl next to the cookies Scoop your frosting into the baggie, and begin: Pipe a pearl-sized drop of frosting in the middle of each cookie Set a kiss on each drop Pipe a circle around each kiss - your frosting should be just thin enough where you can circle your hand around and it should fall around the kiss without you having to fuss with it too much. Finish with a bow. BOO-YEAH. You're done. And you look like Super Mom. And that's what's really important.

They’ll remind you of a simpler time, when you entertained yourself with silly putty and an actual newspaper (look it up, youngsters – we didn't have your fancy online articles) and when a scratch on your new CD could ruin your whole evening.
