  4. LOVE this! You listed pretty much everything from my childhood, lol. Pogs! Beanie Babies! Sweet Valley High! Total throwback and it's awesome :) Some of those pictures are priceless- I remember wearing regular socks like knee socks, and of course wearing them with sandals :) I just read Courtney's comment and I didn't realize she had said the same thing. Oh good times. Keep these coming!

  9. Just catching up on some blog reading and wanted to stop by and say hi! I'm still reading, just from my phone in the middle of the night while feeding the baby, so commenting has been few and far between. Had to comment and say that I'm absolutely dying over these photos! I love them all so much! This is like a blast from my past too! Hilarious.

  10. So loving all of the family vacation photos! It's so funny looking through all of these bc I had some of the same fashions, I totally rocked the jean overalls and those sandals! Now all of that is coming back around! Did you scan those pictures onto your computer? They are good quality!
