So I love the challenges I have been seeing on here, so I thought I would give it a try and make one of my own.

One to bring us back to the good old days of our youth!

What is it that had your attention back then? There are five topics to chose from, and it can be from any point of your childhood growing up into your teens.

Your favorite Band, Toy, Book, Movie, and Candy/Treat.

Add Pics if you can find them!

This will be a fun blast from the past!

So here we go I will start with mine.

1. Backstreet boys.

Oh my, I loved them from a child well into early adulthood. J.K. I still love them. And I am pretty sure every teen girl did. A.J. Mclean was my crush out of the bunch. He has aged even cuter! Quit Playing Games With My Heart, Backstreets Back, Everybody.... I spent hours on end watching their concerts on replay with my best friend growing up. But by the time I was able to see a live concert I was an adult, and I got to admit, it wasn't quite the same. After aging so much, watching them all boucing around on the stage as adults just seemed odd. I still have some of there songs in my playlists though anytime I need a little mood booster!

2. Tomagotchi.

I had a red one, just like in the picture. It had a pet Dalmatian puppy that I had to take care of, or it would become unhappy and hungry. It was simple but fun! They had a few different kinds, and now they are coming back into popularity. It's cool to see all the different kinds of styles they have come out with!

3. The busy world of Richard Scarry.

I don't know why, but the way the drawings were in this book really drew me to it, and stayed in my memory. I especially loved the little Rabbits and the worm! They were very educational as they would name each thing on the page for you, so it was easy to learn how to spell those words. They had many different types of books, spelling ones, story ones, find the object ones and more. I also really loved polly pockets as well, it was difficult for me to chose between the two.

4. Pirates of the Caribbean.

I watched these shows so many times I could recite them word for word. Not even kidding. They were awesome clean family friendly movies that brought an adventure right into your living room! Captain Jack Sparrow (I just said that in my head with the same accent as people say it in the movies) is by far one of my favorite movie characters of all time. I think Johnny Depp was perfect for that roll. I do think they kind of went downhill as they were going, but I still love the movies as a whole. In fact I loved them so much that I named my pet Rainbow Boa after Calypso (Tia Dalma).

5. Hubba Bubba.

It was always a game for me and my friends to see which one of us could fit one whole roll into our mouths. But the roll was quite long, so none of us ever actually accomplished it. But oh what fun it would have been to play chubby bunny like that! Unfortunately I could not find a good picture of the image of the front of the one I ate back then.

I hope you enjoyed this, I hope it brought back some good memories for you. Comment if you share the same of any of these with me!
