While I am usually a little sad about time flying so fast and the first of the month coming around quicker and quicker, I'm super excited for September to be here, cooler weather, bootie and pumpkin delight and this month is a super fun theme: Back To School! Our kids in Indiana now go back here the first part of August and our youngest started on Aug. 4th but this is the time of year I always went back so it was fun to do some school days reminiscing. Lots of Throwback Photos today!

4. Favorite Breakfast? Oatmeal
5. Favorite Cereal? Raisin Bran...still is
6. School uniform or no uniform? No Uniform, which of course, I loved as I dressed to the hilt every day. However, I am a huge proponent of uniforms and even wrote a thesis about it in college.
7. New Outfit for first day or no? Um....ALWAYS!
First day senior year in my beloved red and white room.
9. Backpack, Tote or Messenger Bag? Tote Bag...this brocade bag was my favoite!!

19. Favorite after school show? I don't remember as a little girl because I think I went outside and played but in MS & HS, it was my soaps as my mom would "tape" them for me.

25. Favorite year in school? 3 Way Tie: 4th Grade, 2nd Semester Junior and Senior
26. Class Ring or No Class Ring? I had a beautiful class ring with diamond chips, it was small and dainty, not big and bulky. I basically just got it to get one as it was kind of cool back then. It ended up having no meaning to me at all so I sold it on eBay. Someone had the nerve to tell me in message on Ebay that I would regret selling it. I have never regretted it, lol.
27. Attend or Not Attend High School Reunions? No Way José
Here is My most favorite School Related Post: HERE and from that you'll kind of get why a reunion isn't really important to me...today is what matters!!

Oh how fun! I love your pics from childhood. You make high school look fun and you haven't changed much at all! ;) Such a great post.
ReplyDeleteSo many great memories! Your pics brought them back for me and I kinda got a little lump in my throat. You have always been so gorgeous and outgoing, friend! I see it all over your these pics.
ReplyDeleteAhhhh you little cutie!!! I had CRITTER SITTERS! I'm doing the math and I think the decade started with you and ended with me so we had some very similar things going on because I had that Holly Hobby lunchbox too! Woo hoo on getting the lettuce for the jewelry we didn't need! Happy day sweetness xoxoxo!
ReplyDeleteThis was such a fun post idea, Andrea! Thank you so much for inviting me to participate! It was so fun answering the questions! That is so funny that you loved math and ended up getting a degree in social studies education! Funny how things turn out. Have a wonderful Labor Day!

Love all the awesome throwback outfits! Happy Labor Day!
ReplyDeleteI just adore seeing all these old pictures of you! Maybe if I had been at home I would have tried to dig a few up. Please tell me you were Homecoming Queen! You had to be! The more I get to know you, the more I just love you to death! Such a precious girl you are. Enjoy your day off! XOXO
ReplyDeleteOh sweet friend, you and I have a lot in common! Love reading your responses and seeing your cute pictures! You were such a beautiful child and now a beautiful woman, both on the inside and outside.
ReplyDeleteI hope you're enjoying this Labor Day!
xo,

I LOVE the photos! I forgot that I always used to watch Y&R after school until you mentioned the soap operas!
ReplyDeleteOh I loved this post! I forgot all about Critter Sitters! This post reminds me of me!!! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI had a Holly Hobby bed spread! I don't remember a thing about her though...was it a cartoon? Also- your hair in all the pictures, love all the style you had.
ReplyDeleteI've contemplated selling my ring as well but haven't only so when my daughter gets old enough and asks whether I had one I can say "Yep!" And show it to her...then sell it for the diamonds and gold.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness at the sweet memories and beautiful pictures of my BFF! I wish I had thought of including pictures of myself, but alas! Time was not on my side! Of all your precious memories, Critter Sitters portfolios truly hit home! I haven't thought about those in YEARS!! And how sweet of your mom to write sweet lunch notes to your friends, too! I knew your beautiful mom rocked!! Enjoy your Labor Day, Sweetie!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, this is amazing!!! LOVE the throwback pictures and I have to say that those cookies were my absolute FAVE too! I remember them being so sugary and just wow - they tasted so good after school! LOL. Thanks for sharing your fun memories, and I hope you guys are enjoying a nice long weekend and waving good-bye to summer in style! XO

This was a most enjoyable post and you were just the cutest! It was such fun looking back to those times. Happy Labor Day my dear!
ReplyDeleteSo many great pictures of you! I bet you were valedictorian...
ReplyDeleteFashionista even from the beginning! I LOVED soft batch cookies! Do they still make those!?!? Thanks for a fun link-up!
ReplyDeleteLove this. Brings back so many memories. Big hair don't care, and Holly Hobbie...a must! Girl you were rockin' the fashion back then too!
ReplyDeleteSo fun! I love looking back like this; my mom taped our soaps too and we definitely ate a lot of soft batch cookies.
ReplyDeleteThis is sooo cute! We are the same person! I loved getting up and getting ready for school!! And, I did my homework right away, too! haha! Still do with grading and planning! LOL!

I love how you included all of your school pictures! Enjoyed reading about you! Roseann from www.thisautoimmunelife.com
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are so cute!
ReplyDeleteI swear we're twins separated at birth - and our answers prove it!
ReplyDeleteLoved all the throw back pictures!!! I meant to add some to mine but didn't get the time to go find them. Isn't it funny how some things stay the same all these years later about what we like and our personalities?
ReplyDeleteThese questions are so much fun and I love all of the pictures!! I hope you had a great long weekend pretty lady!
ReplyDeleteStopping by from Tuesday Talk! XOXO I love all your throwback pictures. Such a fun walk down memory lane!
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun post. I love love love love love your Holley Hobbie lunch box!!! I loved her!!!!!!!!!!!!! I still have big hair and I don't care. Hope you had a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great post! Love all the different pictures...you were (and are) a real cutie. As you close are close to my girls' ages, I can relate to the clothes and hair. I think Alana had a Holly Hobbie lunch box. Totally agree with you about reunions...the people are pretty much the same, the cliques are the same. I lived on the same farm and went to three different high schools because of consolidation...ugh... xoxo
ReplyDeleteI love all of the throwback photos! I wish I had had more time this weekend while I was home to dig through all of the old pictures & add some to mine.
ReplyDeleteLoving all the photos of you growing up. Plus a lot of your answers. I remember the soft baked cookies. LOVED those.
ReplyDeleteLove this post and these photos!! You have been gorgeous since day 1!!! Beautiful inside and out!

Oh man, the differences of South vs. North...we had milk in plastic bags and took the ACT. I love the old pics, you are and were so cute! Soft batch while doing homework and then taped Days of our Lives, man it did not get better!
ReplyDeleteI love all of your throwback pictures that you included in this post! You look so pretty back in your school days! So it's totally weird, but I've never been a big oatmeal fan! I wish that I was because it seems like an easy and light option for breakfast.
ReplyDeleteLove all the throwback photos of you gorgeous girl over the years!! Your red and white room is too cute! My mom made me est Raisin Bran for breakfast and I didn't hate it. Loved learning more about you!
ReplyDeleteYou just reminded me of so many things I forgot about - Holly Hobbie, those folder and Soft Batch cookies.

OhMyGoodness, we are obviously the same age -- and I'd completely forgotten about Critter Sitters! This was so fun!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE seeing all of the pictures of you as a younger person. You have the same infectious smile and you always look so dang happy! Love your red and white room, and your puffy hair, hehe.
ReplyDeletePrecious memories! You were so cute!
ReplyDeleteIt's always fun to look back and reminisce!
