I saw this post yesterday, and I was instantly taken back to my childhood, growing up in small-town Virginia. Traveling to the theatre in nearby towns for the latest production of Snow White or The Nutcracker. Living every moment of summer break to the fullest. Having an imagination bursting with ideas.
So today, I'm in love with my inner-child. Let's take a little stroll down memory lane.....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Do you remember....
Telling secrets and making pinky promises...
Thinking that dessert was the only food group...
Promising to be best friends forever...
Wishing that summer would last forever...
Imagining that you could actually grow your own beanstalk, just like Jack...
Being a Disney princess or fairy everyday, complete with crown or wand...
Playing endless games of hide-and-seek...
Dressing up in your mom's hats and shoes...
Seeing how high you could swing...
(This one's for my Bumpkin)
Believing that red sparkly shoes could take you anywhere in the world...
Having dreams as big as the sky...

When my friend's mom would come to pick her up from my house we would hide...hoping that our moms would never find us and we could play forever!!!
Beautiful post! I love the that illustration.
Making forts out of blankets and lawn chairs with my friends. Sleepovers. Running around barefoot in the summer. Ice cream truck. Playing Barbies for hours. So, so many more.
Thanks for making me think of all the things I used to do when I was little. I miss my childhood.
Childhood was the best! Getting to be outdoors 24/7, having nothing to worry about, eating all you want, and so much more. Love the post!
How cute! Love all these childhood-like pictures! Hope you have a great weekend!
i always love your photos, and i definitely love your "it's firday i'm in love" series!
i think i might change my "fashion friday" to this, if that's okay with you?
You create the best posts!!
It's so hot outside, I'm going to say I miss running through the sprinklers :)
Julie, I love this post! If only we could retain all of the innocence of childhood! Can you believe I still have never seen the Nutcracker?! I know huh, crazy. I remember thinking I could actually dig my way to China if I dug long enough! I am still kinda struggling with dessert being the only food group. xoxo
Julie - oh how this makes me reminisce my childhood. The excitement of hearing the music of the ice cream truck and running barefoot through the soft cold grass.
What a wonderful idea to post childhood memories.
Have a happy weekend! xoJoy
... making friendship bracelets out of DMC embroidery floss. That's one of my favorite memories :)
It funny how a picture as simple as those popsicles brings a TON of memories to my mind. Spending the entire summer at the pool with the neighborhood kids...BBQing outside with Dad....wow. Great post.
I am such a nerdy nostalgic - loved this sweet post - and Eva Cassidy!
aww what a sweet post. i remember i always wanted to wear high heels...really bad!! lol! :)
Adorable post.. I loved playing dress up, and back yard games with neighbors, everything was fun and light hearted without worries or stress... summer really did last forever. If only I could see the world through a child's eyes everyday :)
Oh my gosh! The little girl in the strawberry shirt is killing me:)
There are so many childhood memories - love this post! My friends and I used to dress up in our mom's clothes and play school - and now we're both teachers:)
