🌟Whoa!! Stop scrolling and let’s do a personal reset this weekend!
Unplug, Unwind, and Recharge🌟
Have you ever stumbled upon a post that instantly transported you back to your carefree days of childhood?
A recent reflection on childhood memories, core memories, and the simple joys of sipping from a hose, playing out Goonies-like adventures in the mud, and embracing boundless creativity truly struck a chord with me.
It got me thinking about how those nostalgic outdoor escapades fueled our imaginations, fostered our sense of adventure, and allowed us to disconnect from the digital world to fully immerse ourselves in the present moment.
In a time where constant connectivity and digital distractions dominate our daily lives, taking a moment to unplug, unwind, and just breathe has never been more crucial.
Let's challenge ourselves to step away from the screen, shut that laptop, and turn off the ringer.
Embrace the beauty of nature, soak in the sights and sounds that often go unnoticed in the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Reconnect with your inner child, tap into that reservoir of creativity, and rediscover the joy of being fully present in the moment.
So, I dare you—embrace the call of the great outdoors, take a technology detox, and relish in the simple pleasures of life that often get overshadowed by the demands of work and technology.
Let's make time to disconnect, unwind, and rejuvenate our spirits.
Are you up for the challenge?

Your clothes came from Kmart and they stayed on layaway until school started. Eating out at a restaurant was a thing every now & then!! Fast food was leftovers at home. Eating popsicles was a treat on a hot day. We had fake cigs for candy and you only needed $1 or less. School was mandatory. You took your school clothes off as soon as you got home and put on your play clothes. If no one was home after school, you went to the neighbors. Nobody paid for daycare because we had a key to the house to get in when we got home.
We ate dinner at the table. Our house phone wasn't always being used. We played Cops and Robbers, 1-2-3 Not It, Red Light Green Light, Hide & Seek, Truth or Dare, Tag, Kickball, Dodgeball & we rode bikes. Girls and Boys played in the street. We came home when the street lights came on.
Children were seen & not heard. Staying in the house was a punishment and the only thing we knew about being "bored", "You better find something to do before I find it for you!" We ate what Mom made for dinner or we ate nothing at all. There was no bottled water; we drank from the tap or the water hose!
Phone numbers and address’s were either memorized or written on a folded piece of paper which was kept with you at all times!
What were Cell phones? We watched cartoons on Saturday mornings and rode our bikes for hours. We ran around in the streets until dark and came in before the street lights came on.
We were AFRAID OF NOTHING.
We watched our mouths around our Elders. If we acted up we got beat with a wooden paddle, switch or belt!
These were the good old days.
Kids today will never know how it feels to be a real kid, they will never understand this type of childhood!!!
(I do know a few kiddos that are definitely trying to be raised like we were in the 80/90s.)
Also anyone remember the reminder that came on the tv that said “do you know where yours kids are!”- yes our parents had to be reminded we were still outside playing!
Have the best weekend!
