What better than bringing back a small taste of our childhood?

11 Things We Need To Bring Back From The '90s

With "Fuller House" making its long awaited debut this past week, I think it got all of us millennials in our feels about our childhood. I know it brought me back to my childhood and had me reminiscing on all things '90s. Here a few things that I miss even more now, and I'm sure you might feel the same way.

1. Dunkaroos

These snacks were one of the best things of my entire childhood. The snack every child wanted in their lunch box. The icing was also the best part, am I right?

2. Hit Clips


The o.g. iPod, my friends. These things might have only played about 30 seconds of your favorite songs, but we carried them everywhere.

3. Tamagotchis

Before we were allowed to have pets, we had Tamagotchis. Our own little pocket pets, that always ended up dying.

4. Gel Pens

These pens made school and homework actually fun. I mean who didn't have a couple of these in their backpack?

5. All Things Lisa Frank

Lisa made the best coloring books, stickers, folders and backpacks. Every girl had to have them and was probably decked out in straight Lisa Frank at school.

6. AOL Instant Messenger


When we were in elementary school, we weren't allowed to have cell phones. So every day, when you got home from school you sat down at the computer and stayed on talking to your friends for hours. This was the o.g. Snapchat.

7. Myspace

I don't know about y'all, but I miss the days of being an HTML code pro, embedding music, changing my background and picking my top friends. I like Facebook, don't get me wrong, but Myspace was the real deal.

8. Furbies

While these things were quite possibly the most annoying things on the Earth, they were cute, and since we couldn't have our own pets these had to do.

9. Bop Its

These contraptions could capture your attention for hours or cause the biggest sibling fights in your household, but boy were they entertaining.

10. Lip Smackers

Every girl loved to collect them and loved to wear them. What happened to the days of an abundance of flavored ChapSticks?

11. Wonder Balls

Every time you went to the grocery store, you had to grab one. These were the perfect mid-day or after school snack. A mixture of chocolate and sourness -- how could you go wrong?

I am going to a rhyme without reason date function and I have looked at so many different rhyming words and I figured there need to be a new list of words. At these functions, there are usually at least two rockers and boxers and an umpteenth amount of dogs and frogs. I have come up with a list of creative and unique ideas for these functions.

If you like what you see, get a shopping cart going with these costumes.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
