It’s interesting sharing stories of my past with my daughter. Games I played. Toys I broke. Shows that I watched, but can’t remember clearly anymore. It’s funny how our past can become our children’s present.

I grew up with Strawberry Shortcake. I loved Strawberry’s red, bouncy hair with her pink and green accents. Today, I share the renewed Strawberry with my daughter. The strawberry smell from when you open the DVD brings back sweet memories.

Do you remember newspaper cutouts? Little people shapes cutout from dad’s newspaper just freshly dropped on the front porch. Oh, another piece of my past that I’m sharing with my daughter.

It was a great adventure to spend time with my daughter cutting out the ancient figures, poking holes into their paper bodies and piecing them together with little gold joints. Sharing funny stories with my daughter about how my paper people from the past always seemed to have big heads, thin legs, and the arms never matched up.
