Friend Makin Monday!!!


I thought this was a cute idea... so thought I'd give it a whirl this week!  My friend Kelli does this and it's been fun getting to know her better!  Please join us!! :)  We would LOVE to have you follow along with "everyone".... just go here...


What 5 of your favorite toys from your childhood were?

1. My strawberry shortcake dolls - MANY hours of enjoyment from these.  Mom still has them and now R plays with them... it's so cute!!

2. Barbie - having a sister who also loved Barbie made these even more fun. We had some really cool blow-up furniture...  good times.

3. My Bike - many scrapes and scars later - I learned how to ride my banana seat bike.  

4. our Sandbox - I know technically it's not a toy, but we had a HUGE sandbox with a rusty metal swingset.  With our Tonka trucks - we could create quite the towns!

5. Mandie doll - I'm sure they had a "real" name... she was made by Fisher Price.  I LOVED this doll!  Still have it and have to restrain myself from playing with it :)....

Feel free to play along!!!!

  3. So glad you joined in! It's so nice to meet you.

    I loved playing in the dirt. My grandma had a big load of dirt brought in one year so all of us grandkids could play in it. We played for HOURS. So much fun.

    I still have some of my childhood toys that I saved for my girls.

  5. Welcome to FMM!! It is lots of fun and a great way to meet people!

    How great to have a sister to play Barbies with all the time- I only had brothers and they just wanted to decapitate my Barbies.....

    Have a super week!

  10. I loved my sandbox...except for the cat poo, that was a bit gross! In fact we would build rivers and lakes and fill them with water, then the Barbies went swimming. Loved doing that!

  11. I so remember the "Mandy" doll. It wasn't one of my favorites, but one of my friends LOVED that doll! I also loved Barbies and Strawberry Shortcake! Great list!

    Hope you have a wonderful week!
