TMB Thursday: Potter Style

WOOOT! This week's Take Me Back Thursday involves some lovable wizards and a great story!

If you guessed HARRYight!



Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone made it's debut in 1997. Over the next 10 years the world would come to love Harry Potter. I guess I should say most of the world. There was a lot of controversy over the books and some religious cultures. I also know a lot of people who hated the story.

Despite all that, Harry Potter was a story that I loved. I could relate to the story. I was connected with the characters. I was lost in the story. I grew up reading books that were way above my reading level (I was reading Dickens by 5th grade). I really enjoyed a book that was right at my level.



In 2007 Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows came out. I was in Vail, Co and my Summer Project mates and I went to a supermarket at midnight to pick up the book. It was crazy and a night I will never forget. I read it in just under 4 days. It was great!


How cute are these kids?

It's sad to think that it all ends tomorrow night at midnight. It's the end of an era really. I cannot wait to see how it all plays out in movie form. I'm also really excited that I am going to have this to pass on to my kids. I won't get to see the movie until a week after it comes out due to vacation. Nonetheless I am going to enjoy every minute of the movie!



And Just for Fun :)



What are your thoughts? Are you happy to see it go? Feel sad that it's all over?

Take me back Thursday!

WHOOT! It's Thursday!

This week is inspired by a new item I saw while shopping last week before all the craziness started.

SLAP BRACELETS!



Slap bracelets were awesome when I was a kid. It was cool to have them and so much fun to play with. Today they are making a come back but in watch form! Why didn't I think of this? I could be making moolah right now. haha

Amazon.com has slap watches for pretty cheap if you are interested, but look around the next time you are at the mall. You'll probably find them in Claire's or a similar store.



Do you have any fun slap bracelet stories?

Take Me Back Thursdays!

Welcome to the first of Take Me Back Thursdays!!

On Thursdays I am going to try posting something that takes me back in time to some good old days of being younger.

This week is special because not only does it take me back, it is making a come back! SO here is the new trailer for the Winnie The Pooh movie, coming to theatres soon!!!

I grew up with Poohbear. When I was a kid Pooh wasn't animated, it was more like a Teletubbies with people in costumes as someone narrated a story from the many Poohbear stories. I have kept Pooh with me and even quote him today. I recently read a book called "Winnie The Pooh on Management".

I am going to recommend this movie to everyone! We can learn so much from that Sill Old Bear and his friends! Not to mention, the song in the trailer is one of my all-time favorite songs!
