Hola!!!!
So I was lucky enough to spend some time with my sister/nephews on Salt Spring Island. Whenever I sit down with Val, after the boys have gone to bed, we always start chatting about the past. 'Hey Val, remember when you convinced me to pay you $1 for an earthworm?'.. OR 'Hey Carmen, remember when we entered that break dance competition?'... and the list goes on and on.
So Val and I put together a list of cool things that we remember from our childhood, and I'd like to share it with you. Hopefully, you're amused, appalled and above all, have a good laugh! Please feel free to send me any and all suggestions for my list.
Enjoy!
