Hey y'all! I hope you're doing amazing and you are looking for your blessings in every day-even days when its hard.
This came to my mind when I responded to another discussion. We got on the topic of Frosted Flakes...love some frosted flakes y'all, always have! I thought I would share some other things I used to love and some of my best memories growing up.
Some of my favorite childhood memories are as follows:
Climbing trees with siblings and friends in the neighborhood
Playing Manhunt until the street lights came on of course
Watching Saved by the Bell on Saturday mornings
Riding my Bike to my friends house
Making Sand Castles at the beach!
Getting Ice Cream from the Ice Cream truck
Looking inside the cereal box for their cool toy or the spoons that changed colors!
Also, loved watching the Rugrats, Flintstones, Scooby Doo, Lassie, The Jetsons, Baywatch & Macguyver.
Can you relate to any of these?

My sister and I liked playing house with our dolls. We also loved playing with our Barbie dolls. We had fun on family trips to the beach and we liked watching Scooby Doo, The Brady Bunch and Gilligan's Island.

Baywatch? 
I tried to watch that once, and almost got grounded. I think my parents thought it was worse than it was.
I loved climbing trees, hearing the ice cream truck coming down the street, swinging and having jumping contests on who could land further away. I also watched Saved by the Bell, and, of course, Full House and Family Matters. I remember doing donuts in the church parking lot in our car during winter with my dad. Great times!

@LadyDuck Yes, but what is so cool is we have some of the same good memories-many years apart. That is so amazing to me!

I didn't have a TV at home as a child and until my father lived. However I climbed trees and listened to the radio a lot and used to learn songs from there.

Aww, this made me smile so much
There’s something so special about those simple childhood memories. Life felt slower, lighter, and full of genuine joy. Playing outside until the street lights came on and digging through cereal boxes for the coolest toy, those moments really meant everything back then.
Thank you for sharing such beautiful memories. It’s a sweet reminder to keep looking for the small blessings in everyday life, even when things feel hard. Sometimes the simplest moments become the most meaningful ones

I'm so glad it made you smile! Yes, such sweet and simple moments that put a smile on faces many years later. Such a blessing! =)
You're very welcome, I do believe every day is full of new blessings from the Lord if we are looking for them.

My childhood was mostly a blast, except I grew up in the 60's early 70's time frame. I had a lot of awesome childhood memories, but I think the best one was riding on a tractor with my grandfather while he was haying. It was just so novel and different, also Grandpa was the bomb! and the weather was perfect.

I can definitely relate to many of those childhood memories.
Riding bikes was our basic mode of transportation
Ice cream from the Ice Cream truck 
we even knew the ice cream man by name as well as the milk man (yes we had milk delivered back in my childhood)
Knocking on the door to call for a friend to come out and play
Cereal was a "go to" breakfast but we certainly didn't have as many choices as we do now. Cinnamon Toast Crunch is my favorite these day
Saturday morning cartoons
Oh so many more....I could go on and on and on

Definitely playing outside until the street lights came on.
Gathering blackberries from the huge bushes at the end of the street.
Riding my bike around the block.
Skating on the rough concrete until my feet vibrated.
Getting ice from the milk truck.
Getting Italian ice from the ice cream truck.
Going downstairs to stay with my grandparents until my mother came home.
Going swimming at my girlfriend's house. She was the only one with a pool.
