Things That Made Me Inordinately Happy As a Little Kid

One afternoon as I sat in my car waiting for someone to return a call, I started writing this list. (I’ve been adding to it from time to time). I love reconnecting to that childish sense of enchantment! Do you relate to any of these? Please add your own in the comments!

 

  1. my sister’s Caboodle
  2. bottled chocolate milk
  3. Lisa Frank stationary (now a collector’s item, gasp!)
  4. Post-It notes
  5. place cards
  6. park fountains
  7. black felt-tipped pens
  8. Polly Pocket (the real tiny ones, also a collector’s item)
  9. roasted marshmallows
  10. grandfather clocks
  11. pretty much anything miniature
  12. crinkly plastic library book covers
  13. when anyone in high school said anything to me
  14. kaleidoscopes
