Let me just tell you that the oldest millennials have turned 42 this year. And while we’re well aware of the fact we’re no kids, we don’t feel that ancient either. Dad jokes and cargo pants seem to be a boomer thing, but what if we’re not that far from them?
School supplies have changed a lot over the years but these retro school supplies will bring you right down memory lane.
We all know that school life is the golden period of our lives but gone are the days for every 90s kid. We often say we don't realise the value of the moment till it's gone, the same goes with the school. Who knew the history periods we used to hate would be something we will be missing.
We would never let our kids do these things today—and yet we all survived the '80s ... right?
Check out these unreal 80s toys. Everyone who grew up or lived through the 1980s will be able to remember most of these awesome toys and epic games.
It's true that some things are better left in the past... R.I.P. scrunchies. But when taking a walk down memory lane, it's hard not to long for the days when you could play your Atari while listening to REO Speedwagon. For a nostalgic walk down memory lane every week, tune in to The Goldbergs when it totally premieres Tuesday September 24th at 9|8c on ABC!
If you grew up during a big toy craze, there’s a chance you fondly remember playing with a Teddy Ruxbin, a popular G.I. Joe, or an “adopted” Cabbage Patch Kid.
Or at least played with.
Take a trip down memory lane with these 40 awesome photos that only girls who grew up in the '80s will understand and remember.
The '80s were awesome. Why? If you were there you don't need that explained to you, you'll just know. If you weren't, come and take a look.
Remember when you used to think that a Dancing Coke Can was the coolest thing ever?
I adore Pinterest, recently I came across a 1970’s toy feed and the memories came flooding back! If you are a similar age, then I sure these will bring back happy memories too. I used to get …

Remember these? Last night, my husband and I started talking about the things we did for fun when we were kids growing up in the 1930's and '40's. Our conversation stemmed from a piece of writing a woman in my Memories Writing Group had done. She listed so many forgotten toys and games and I know it triggered memories for many others in the group of seniors. She ended by saying that though she grew up in the depression years and times of great drought here in Kansas, she and her friends were oblivious to all of that. They grew up having fun with what little they had. She learned much later how difficult it had been for her parents and other adults in those years. For those who write memoir or family stories, here's the list Ken and I put together last night. Hopefully, some of what is there will trigger memories and inspire you to write. For the younger readers, it may be of interest to you to see how we entertained ourselves with the simplest things. For all my readers--your family would appreciate your memories of what you did for fun, the games you played, the toys you had as a child. They're sure to be different from what the kids of today have, whether you grew up 7 or 2 decades ago. The List roller skates that clamped onto shoes, skate key to tighten, then wear around your neck on a shoelace jacks marbles jumping rope simple homemade kites, a tail made from Mom's rags spinning tops sledding ice skating (if you were lucky enough to have skates) dodge ball baseball on a school playground or in a park--no special field provided football in the park or someone's back yard outdoor games like Red Rover, Hide and Seek, Tag and Statue croquet ping pong badminton paper dolls coloring books indoor games like Monopoly and Checkers cap guns dress-ups (using Mom's old clothes, hats and shoes) Let us know if you have any others to add.
Remember the 80's? Did you grow up in the 80's? Step away from the drama and share a memory with me.

There was a time when you found playing with a Dustbuster exciting.
I know, what an odd thing to be thinking about. I remember when I was a youngster, and a budding author wannabe, I adored my family’s encyclopedia set. The pages were thumb worn from how ofte…
