So here is what my girls are loving right now.
Silly Bandz.
They’ve been getting them from friends and soccer coaches since the beginning of the school year. I’ve rewarded the girls with them for doing jobs. I’ve seen girls and guys with them almost up to their elbow. They reminded me of -
The Charm Necklace. I had one in 2nd grade. I LOVED it. My favorite was the baby bottle. You could really fill it up with water or juice! Awesome.
I told my girls that when I was in 1st grade, everyone had the Garbage Pail Kids cards and we would trade them at recess. Then kids wouldn’t wait till recess and were trading them during class. Then we weren’t allowed to bring them to school anymore. That week Olivia told me that she wasn’t going to wear her silly bandz to school anymore because there was a “problem” with them, and if the teacher saw you playing with them they would take them forever. I’m such a smart mom, I saw that one coming.
I also told the girls about when I was in 7th grade and all the girls had these fancy
Bubble Necklaces from Nordstrom. (They must not have been THAT popular since I couldn’t find a picture on the internet.) But I wanted one so bad! My mom told me she had a better idea. She had some mini perfume bottles and she would put one on string and I could wear that. She said no one would even tell the difference and “plus it would smell good too!” I reluctantly agreed and wore it to school. It wasn’t the same, and I still wished I just had a normal necklace, but eventually I saw how it was kind of fun to have something different. My girls liked that story. I do to.

Those silly bands are so cute! I love that Scarlette captured them in that picture. I always wanted a charm bracelet but never had one!
It is like being a kid again now that our own kids are picking up on the lastest fade! Just the other day I was thinking about those terrible looking Garbage Pail Kids! I actually saw GPK's silly bands at Target! It is the old blending with the new!
