Raising Children without a Parenting Manual
Flashback Friday
Ok it’s been a while since my last Flashback Friday, but I was inspired again looking at Sesame Street oldies with my toddler… B is for BubbleWhat child doesn’t love “rounds” type songs SingThis isn’t the original version, but it’s still a great feel-good song for all ages Muppets – Bohemian RhapsodyI love the Muppets!

Those of you who’ve been around since I started doing Flashback Friday will remember it got started in honor of the Sesame Street that WAS. The Sesame Street of the 70s that has morphed into this sugary fantasy of some boardroom exec that kids find too lame to watch. Sesame Street! Lame! Never would I have imagined I would hear little kids use those two words in a sentence describing this show that shaped so...Flashback Friday – Heartthrobs :-)

It’s a motivational story told to businessmen to teach the importance of having a clear vision in...Flashback Friday

I had such a great response from you about the Sesame Street flashbacks, I’m definitely going to keep this up every Friday. Without further ado, here are this Friday’s Flashbacks! What I love(d) about Sesame Street: Biology lessons...Flashback Friday
Ok so in last week’s Writer’s Workshop I talked about Sesame Street, and how the new Sesame Street just doesn’t match up to the old. A few of you responded and expressed that you felt the same way. So to you fellow original Sesame Street fans (I hear “Vintage” is what they’re calling it – to which I respond “Do I look Vintage to YOU?!”) I thought I’d share...
