I am a child of the 80's...

I was thinking about being a kid today when life was so simple. It made me get to thinking about my favorite toys. Did you have any of these? I loved play-doh!!

I had Rainbow Brite and some of her friends. I also loved to watch the movies/shows.

Who could forget Pound Puppies?

Oh my gosh...I almost forgot about the Get Along Gang...I loved all the characters and their caboose.

Popples!! Remember how they rolled up into a ball?

Shine Little Glow Worm...shimmer, shimmer....I had a big one that had a switch that you could turn to get it to light up. I used to like to snuggle in bed with it. I also had a few of the small ones.

I loved Barbies! I would spend so much time getting the house ready and all the Barbies dressed. That was more fun then actually playing with them.

She-ra...Princess of Power!! Yes, I had the doll, her castle, and the dress up outfit for myself.

I know it's a boy toy, but I loved playing with Star Wars Action figures...especially the Ewoks and their tree house.

My Little Pony. I had a bunch of the ponies, baby ponies, and sea ponies....and the castle.

Did you have one of these charm necklaces? I had the strangest charms...like an egg cooking in a pan...weird!!

My most favorite EVER was Strawberry Shortcake. I had so many of these little figures. I still have them and yes, they still smell good. One year when I was 2 or 3, all I wanted was this big "shortcake house"....yes, that is what I called it. It was Strawberry Shortcakes house and it had all the furniture, etc.

Well...I didn't get that house. My dad told my mom there was no way they were spending $100 on plastic....typical! I got this little guy and still had a lot of fun, but I literally have never forgotten it and my parents have never forgiven themselves for not getting it for me.

I LOVED Fisher Price "little people". I had so many of the people and also the garage, farm, club house, merry go round, etc. I would set up the whole town.

Charmkins!!
