Conversations With My Family About 80s Music

October 2, 2017 By Katy 17 Comments

Do you like 80s music? Then you'll like these funny observations about popular 80s music classics from Wham, Bonnie Tyler, Lionel Richie and more.

The following is a true story about a family listening to 80s music on a road trip. I have changed their names to protect the innocent. I’m kidding. Usually I don’t mention their names anymore because supposedly that makes me an oversharing, hyper mommy blogger. I digress. The scene A couple weekends ago my family [Read More]

11 Awesome Movies To Watch Again That Are 30 Years Old

August 21, 2017 By Katy 22 Comments

Check out these totally awesome movies from the 80s that are worth watching again. I'm talking about rad movies like Lethal Weapon and Can't Buy Me Love. Generation Xers, you'll love taking a trip down memory lane with these 30-year-old flicks!

Earlier this summer I caught Mel Gibson, Danny Glover, and Rene Russo on Good Morning America talking about the 30th reunion of ‘Lethal Weapon’. Remember Murtaugh and Riggs? It got me thinking about other movies from 1987 that are worth revisiting, too. Because little did I know it as a teenager back in 1987, but [Read More]

Gen X Memes Guaranteed To Make You Laugh

March 27, 2017 By Katy 13 Comments

Gen X memes guaranteed to make you laugh, like this one about The Breakfast Club.

I have long professed my love of all things Gen X. After all, I grew up in the 70s and 80s and it’s who I am. Just ask everyone in Aisle 7 the other day when I burst into  “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now” by Starship. And it doesn’t stop with singing 80s songs in the [Read More]

May 3, 2016 By Katy 22 Comments

"Be vewy, vewy quiet!" is just one more Generation X Reference that my kids don't get. Check out the list for more.

I saw him yesterday in my backyard. The first rabbit of the season. He smiled at me with a giant, buck-tooth grin as he leaped through the wooded area behind my house onto my grass. Every spring and summer he decimates the grass, greedily dining on tender shoots and leaving humongous bald patches that he visits [Read More]

10 Ways Living Through the 80s Made Me Stronger

Sometimes my Tender Pumpkins ask me to get them a snack or drink of water while they lounge on the couch watching TV. Why? Because “You’re already up” or “You’re closer” they plead. At times like this, I fight the good fight. Laziness and privilege will not be rewarded. No, I stand firm and tell [Read More]

14 Things I Remember about Being 14

April 10, 2015 By Katy 25 Comments

14 Things I remember about being 14

In March, I waxed nostalgic about the 30th anniversary of a favorite movie of mine, The Breakfast Club. What I didn’t make explicit then, but will now, is that I was 14 years old when that movie came out. To be honest, I pretty much hated being 14. But something dawned on me as I [Read More]

Generation X References That My Kids Don’t Get

May 20, 2014 By Katy 37 Comments

I gave him a hug, the young 22-year-old who was graduating from college. Arnold (not his real name) had worked for me at the University since he was an 18-year-old freshman. And here he was. Going out into the real world. He told me about his new job in Milwaukee. “Ooo,” I said excitedly. “Did [Read More]
