You know you were a little girl in the 70's & 80's when...

You had that Fisher Price Doctor's Kit with a stethoscope that
actually worked.



You owned a bicycle with a banana seat and a plastic basket with
flowers on it.

You learned to skate with actual skates (not roller blades) that
had metal wheels.

You thought Gopher from Love Boat was cute (admit it!)


You had nightmares after watching Fantasy Island .

You had rubber boots for rainy days and Moon boots for snowy days.





YEAH! You owned a "Slip-n-Slide", on which you injured yourself on a
sprinkler head more than once.

You owned "Klick-Klacks " and smacked yourself in the face more
than once (or constantly had bruises on your arms!)
You had either a "bowl cut" or "pixie", not to mention the
"Dorothy Hamill". People sometimes thought you were a boy.

Your Holly Hobbie sleeping bag was your most prized possession.


You wore a poncho, gaucho s, and knickers.



You begged Santa for the electronic game, Simon.

You had the Donnie and Marie dolls with those pink and purple
satiny shredded outfits, or the sunshine family

You spent hours in your backyard on your metal swing set with
the trapeze. The swing set tipped over at least once.


You had homemade ribbon barrettes in every imaginable color. (Oh
yeah!)

You had a pair of Doctor Scholl's sandals (the ones with hard
sole & the buckle). You also had a pair of salt-water sandals.

You wanted to be Laura Ingalls Wilder really bad; you wore that
Little House on the Prairie-inspired plaid, ruffle shirt with the high
neck in at least one school picture; and you despised Nellie Olson!

You wanted your first kiss to be at a roller rink!

Your hairstyle was described as having "wings" or "feathers" and
you kept it "pretty" with the comb you kept in your back pocket. When
you walked, the "wings" flapped up and down, looked like you were gonna
"take off"

You know who Strawberry Shortcake is, as well as her friends,
Blueberry Muffin and Huckleberry Pie.


You carried a Muppets lunch box to sch ool and it was metal, not
plastic. With the thermos inside some were glass inside and broke the
first time you dropped them.

You and your girlfriends would fight over which of the Dukes of
Hazzard was your boyfriend.

YOU had Star Wars action figures, too!

It was a big event in your household each year when t he "Wizard
of Oz" would come on TV. Your mom would break out the popcorn and
sleeping bags!

You often asked your Magic-8 ball the question: "Who will I marry. Shaun Cassidy, Leif Garrett, or David Cassidy?"

You completely wore out your Grease, Saturday Night Fever, and
Fame soundtrack record album.
You tried to do lots of arts and crafts, like yarn and
Popsicle-stick God's eyes, decoupage, or those weird potholders made on
a plastic loom.

You made Shrinky-Dinks and put iron-on kittens on your t-shirts!

You used to tape record songs off the radio by holding your
portable tape player up to the speaker.

You had subscriptions to Dynamite and Tiger Beat.

You learned everything you needed to know about girl issues from
Judy Blume books. (Are you there God, It's me, Margaret.)



You thought Olivia Newton John's song "Physical" was about aerobics.
(?? its not??)

You wore friendship pins on your tennis shoes, or shoelaces with
heart or rainbow designs.

You wanted to be a Solid Gold dancer.

You drowned yourself in Love's Baby Soft - which was the first
"real" perfume you ever owned.


You glopped your lips in Strawberry Roll-on lip-gloss till it
almost dripped off.

It's raining, it's snowing, winter winds are blowing!









The girls had a great time playing in the snow!




We bundled up with many shirts, socks, hats, gloves and scarves. Even though we couldn't build a snowman [not enough ground cover] the two younger girls had a wonderful 20 minutes in the snow! I even convinced little miss princess to hang up her dress for the day and put on pants!! My acrobat didn't want to keep her gloves on and learned "I cold", real quick! Big sister had a great time snowball fighting with the neighborhood kids and if it didn't start to sleet heavily she would have stayed out side all day!




Glad to be able to make Winter Wonderland Memories!

ok, ok, ok, I'll post!!!

Since I'm a 007... most of the excitement in my life is strictly confidential.... HA! ok.. bad excuse!

my little chicks keep me quite busy! my eldest chick is full of adventure, loves life and people. she's my drama queen, soccer playing, hannah montana fanatic. So much fun!! It's scary though.. some of the music she likes is old remakes of when I was growing up!!! She's shocked when a song comes out and I already know the words! "one up"!:) my middle chick is my tender hearted nurturer, sensitive peacemaker, song writer ballerina princess.. but don't cross her she will bite. my youngest chick is my little ham, loves to laugh, play, sing and wants to be in the middle of every party and already at age 2 is a professional acrobat. I love them dearly and have a great time watching them grow to be the little women God designed them to be. I like what my friend posted "especially creating a team of brothers for the future". I think I will change it to with the LORD'S help..."creating a team of sisters for the future". I always tell them that they are the only sisters they have and will be there for each other forever! Our motto is "love, hugs and kisses"! [When they become teenagers I'll have to modify that one!!!]

My prayer for them is that they would love the Lord with all their heart, soul and mind and that they would be good and gentle and kind, be patient, have self-control and love others like Jesus loves! That they would know that God loves them very much, that they were fearfully and wonderfully made and God has a very special plan for their life. Obey Him all the days of their lives, to know God's true word, the Bible and hide it in their hearts. To remember to be more concerned with their inward beauty and know they will always be beautiful on the outside for it!

Not a day goes by that some crazy thing goes on... we don't get bored around our house! whoever thought you could turn cooking and cleaning into a game!! ok... forget the cleaning... I clean and turn my back for 5 seconds and well it's not clean anymore! My mom sent me a welcome mat "the house was clean LAST WEEK, sorry you missed it".. I want to change it to "the house was clean 5 seconds ago....what in the world happened? with a picture of a dumbfounded mom with frazzled hair scratching her head with a word bubble..I swore I saw a clean house!?"

As my eldest chick would say.."peace out" for today! And maybe it won't take me so long to post again!

007mom? ARe yoU CRazY??

You ask what in the world is 007mom? We'll it's not that breastfeeding thing.. although I'm cool with that.... I just think, why does eveybody think that James Bond has all the fun and excitement? Here are a few lines from our famous 007 movies..."Bristiling with excitement and bursting with explosive special effects, and adrenaline-pumping thrill ride with stunts and nonstop action that will astonish you." "Suave agent assigned to protect [our] beautiful [children], catapulted into a passionate, adrenaline-charged adventure...the unrelenting suspense, breathtaking action and sly wit never let up..." Sounds like a 007mom to me!!
