MEMORIES THAT MAKE YOU WARM AND FUZZY!!!

Good evening my blog family!! I hope everyone is having a blessed and fun day. It is time again to talk about another fun topic. Todays subject.... Childhood memories!
I have plenty and I mean plenty childhood memories. Most of my childhood thoughts are fun and unforgetable, but I don't have a lot of time so I will only share a few...
My most memorable is the summers. My brother, sister, mom and I would go to a place called Wisconsin Dells every year. We would stay at a different hotel each year. We would go to the biggest waterpark, Noah's Ark. We would ride every ride and play tons of games. We would have so much fun but our trip did not end there! We would load up and drive to Chicago so us kids could enjoy Six Flags, While my mama and whatever friend girl she would bring along with us would go to a mall called Gurnee Mills! Summers were a blast. Gosh I miss being a kid!


Another memory I have is Saturday mornings my mama would get me up, and we would make breakfast. Just me and mommy because my older siblings thought they were too big to do stuff like this! We would laugh and make pancakes from scratch (flour would be everywhere) and all the fixings! My mama was a blast and she made my childhood worth living for! We would dance and sing and put flour on each other faces!

Another memory I would like to share is the holidays. No matter what, my momma would have the best holidays planned. It started with Halloween, we always had the most creative costumes and we always had a bunch of candy! Next was Thanksgiving which we had a feast that could feed four villages! It was not one thing my mama did not cook! After dinner we would pile into the living room and decorate the most beautiful Christmas tree while listening to motown christmas! We got to stay up all night drink hot cocoa and watch the Bill Cosby marathon! OMG!! here we are at Christmas day! It was standing room only in our house because "Santa" (which I later on found was my mom) bought presents and more presents and more presents! That was always a good day!

This Christmas- Temptations
 
Finally my most heartfelt memory I have from my childhood is my momma singing in church! When I say my momma could sing, She could sing! She would bring the church to their knees! You could not sit still when she led a song. She would make you laugh, cry, shout and give God the praises with her voice! My favorite song she sung was Going up Yonder

I hope that my memories bring back some of your own! Have a blessed one my fellow bloggers!!!

  3. I would have loved to hear your mother sing. I listen to all kind of music, but Gospel music is my favorite.
