Childhood Movies

As I was doing my favorite chore of laundry (can you feel the sarcasm) I found myself humming Julie Andrew songs, day dreaming about soothing babe in his/her nursery, and all those things from my childhood that I want to expose the babe too.  I immediately thought of Mary Poppins.  She was my idol as a child. How could you not love a nanny that sings, make inanimate objects dance for you, and transports you into chalk drawings? And it got me thinking about all those movies that are connected to our childhoods. You know the ones you coud still watch over and over and they never get old?

Beetle Juice is a close second and it probably the one I watch the most now that I am an adult. I was even Ms. Argentina, a really obscure character, for Halloween a couple of years ago. It is probably the movie I quote the most.

The original 1971 Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. Not that I don't love the new one but the creep factory was already high enough in the first one and in my oppinion went way overboard in the new one.

Oh Hey Easter!

I love when Easter rolls around because it means spring!   Sadly we really don't celebrate Easter anymore.  I am sure it will change once we start having kids.  The youngest people in Bradley and my family are us and Bradley's brother and no one wants to see a bunch of late 20s early 30 year olds running around hunting Easter eggs and stuffing themselves with candy.  I don't think I even really want to see that.  However my childhood is filled with lots of wonderful memories surrounding this holiday so it still is a sweet day.   I will be partaking in one of my favorite childhood Easter traditions and spending some quality time with the Julie Andrews marathon on TV (I am watching Mary Poppins already...love her!).  Have a lovely Easter!
