We had lots of really great chats about nothing important. One of the topics of discussion was childhood, we have always known that we grew up differently but throughout the weekend we realized how different our childhoods really were. Ryan would reminisce about cartoons, and TV shows he watched growing up and I had no idea what he was talking about. To be honest I didn't watch much TV as a child, I was busy doing things like dance class and piano lessons. We laughed about different music and songs we remembered from our childhood and we talked about some of the books we loved as children.
I remember a lot of the books I use to read as a young child. I never was much of a reader but there are definitely some books that stick out in my mind. Maybe you remember some of these books from your childhood or maybe you read them to your children now. The one thing I love about books is they never seem to get old or go out of style.
Ok so I would probably call some of these books 'vintage' only because I think they were around well before I was born but I may be wrong.

Another book I loved as a child was 'I Love You Forever' by Robert Munsch. Robert Muncsh wrote a number of awesome books a pile of which were among my favorites as a kiddo. Some of the other books I loved written by Robert Munsch were 'The Paper Bag Princess', 'Thomas' Snowsuit', 'Murmel, Murmel, Murmel' and 'I Have To Go'.

The books I remember loving from when I was little was "The Giving Tree" by Shel Silverstein and "Oobleck" from Dr. Seuss! Classics :)
ReplyDeleteGotta love the classics! I have to admit I have never heard of either of these books. I'll have to check them out thanks for sharing!
DeleteLove You Forever was and still is one of my favorite children's books.
ReplyDeleteLove you Forever is great it's as a book for children to learn about a parents love for them but it is hopeful as parents to think that one day our adult children will be caring for us.
Deletethanks for reminding me of paddington bear! i loved him so much! and still do somehow :)
ReplyDeleteOMG I just got a little teary eyed seeing the cover of "I Love You Forever"-- such a great book! Thanks for linking up, gorgeous! xo
ReplyDeleteI don't remember "Love You Forever" from when I was a kid, but I read that to my daughter now. It makes me tear up every time because we sing the little song together. I do think, however, that the mother in that book ages very poorly -- perhaps it's all the stalking she does.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, love the post!
