I've been trying to figure out what on earth this blog was going to relate to? What's my purpose here? What's my topic? Then late the other night I had a thought on a new project. Is it a good thought? Well, I couldn't tell you that-- but here's the plan none the less...
Reclaiming my childhood.
I think it's a safe assumption that any adult has had their share of the "I wish I could have done that as a kid" syndrome. It doesn't matter weather it was a happy or regretful childhood, there's something we all would have like to have done (or at the very least, do again.)
I always heard that when you have children of your own that it gives you the chance to be a kid again. Well among my pleasant memories of years gone past I've come to realize there are quite a few things I missed out on. So, in the words of a Snickers candy bar... "why wait?"
I've set out, after the inspiration from a friend, to be a kid again... or rather, maybe for the first time. My objective is pretty simple. I'll be seeking of those fun things I never got to do as a child and will blog about my experiences. Anything from crafts out of clay to visits to the zoo. I'll do a little retrospective blogging about some holidays traditions I was blessed to participate in the past few years as well.
Do you have a favorite childhood memory you'd like to share? Something you did as a family that should make my "must do" list? Let me know! :) So, here on this day the journey begins.
Once upon a time, in a land not so far away there lived a girl....

I think this is brilliant! My suggestions:
ReplyDeleteFingerpaint mixed with shaving cream to make pictures- either on the table or on paper works well- Donna used to do this in OT when she was little...and all 4 of us would get involved:)
Leaf rubbings with crayons...
Jump rope...
That's all I've got right now- have fun my friend:)
Thanks Adele! I'm going to have to start getting some pictures up. Thanks for the suggestions as well-- I actually had been debating about the jump rope and I love the other two ideas! :)
