Having a perfect, sweet, innocent little creature love and depend on you transforms everything- we are inspired to be our best selves for our children. My husband and I are both from close […]

Netflix Is Bringing The 80s Back + 6 Month Netflix Streaming Giveaway! #StreamTeam

I was an 80s kid… I loved Super Mario Brothers, I watches Popples and Smurfs and Care Bears and I wore plastic bracelets and played with Shrinky Dinks. It was a fun time of great dance music, fun cartoons, corny movies that I can watch a zillion times, and celebrities were all superheroes or animated. […]

    I think it was the 80s when we all started getting perms in our hair. Loved it back then considering I had the straightest hair you could possibly have!

  • Robin M

    I think the 80″s big hair is hilarious. My favorite Netflix show is House of Cards.

  • Ephraim

    My favorite thing about the 80s was the neon! It’s a look that I still love today and I know it was a pretty cheesy idea of a futuristic look, but it’s one I still hold onto dearly. And what goes better with that look than the music of the 80s?
