Our Childhood memories

There’s something truly special about childhood memories. The kind that make you smile without even realising it. Today, we took a beautiful step back in time, inviting our participants to reflect on the moments that shaped their younger years.
 
Childhood memories have a funny way of sticking with us, the random little moments, the things we thought were so important at the time, and the simple stuff that somehow meant everything. From playing outside until the streetlights came on, to family traditions or silly games with friends, it’s those memories that can instantly take us back.

This blog is all about those moments, the ones that make you laugh, cringe, or feel a little nostalgic. Because no matter how different our childhoods were, there’s always something we can all relate to when we look back.
 
When I was very tiny I was ten and I went to school in Berwick and I liked school. I wore a blue dress and black shoes and it was my favourite. I remember my lunchbox when I was little, it was pink I have a different lunchbox now. I now have a strawberry lunchbox.
I loved science and maths, counting and numbers, and art. I made many things in art for my mum for Mother's Day and Christmas, and my mum put my decorations on the Christmas tree. I have always had a pool and love to swim in summer.
I was in the choir when I was younger and did it after school with lots of old friends.
I have always loved Disney and remember the first time I went on a Disney Cruise.
I have always loved chicken parma, and when I was a kid I also loved steak, with gravy.
I had many pets as a kid but right now I have Bella. She is a good girl who now sits and stays and doesn't jump on my uniform because it is all black. Bella did a poo once in my room but not anymore. I used to have a dog with one eye as she was very old.
I am so lucky I have had lots of honey since I was a kid as my dad had always had the bee hat. He collects the honey and cares for our bees.
I still love the same things I loved when I was a kid, like Christmas and Easter, Disney and holidays.

Today we are blogging about our childhood memories. In 2007 my parents organised a surprise holiday to the Gold Coast. One night I got a phone call from my mum saying that I had to go to one of my friends places and I said okay that’s fine and my mum and both of my Dad’s were there and my friends family and their friends were there also, saying that I’m going up to the Gold Coast for 10 days, as a surprise! The best part was it was a surprise and my highlight was going to all the theme parks including the scary rides in Movie World.  I even got a chance to have photos taken with different people from Movie World and I also went to Australia Zoo and when I went to Wet and Wild I got a chance to be on TV for the Gold Coast news because I was standing in the background waving and that was the best part about it. Also the highlight was going into the swimming pool every day after we did our fun activities and my mum would ring me every night to check up with me making sure I’m having fun. I was also making sure that I was doing my schoolwork while I was away as well. We were staying in a really nice apartment looking over the beach and one day it was raining so I was watching the lighting over the beach and it was so beautiful hearing the rain with the thunderstorms. I went on this holiday at the end of November until half way in December. I didn’t want to come home but saying that, when I got back I went to the variety club with my school and on the way there we saw my mum in the car with my mums mum, my little brother and sister and the funny thing was we did a catch up and my school teacher said I can go home with my mum and my mum‘s mum and my siblings as well. That was fun. I would like to do that again, but saying that now I’m a grown woman. I have to focus on the future now thank you for reading my blog. Ash.
 
Today blog is about childhood memories.
I really miss being a kid because I like playing with my old school friends. We use to play Tiggy, football and hide and seek.
Barney was my childhood pet he was a boy dog | really liked playing with him and patting him.  We used to play fetch and we used to walk him a lot.
I remember going on family holiday to Bali with mum and dad, it was lots of fun as we ate a lot of food and we swam in the pool. I really like going on the plane.
I remember l used to make house out of boxes and other crafts. I love using my old trampoline, Monkey bars, see-saw and swings.

I remember this day when I was a kid I always got into trouble at school, but then sometimes a good boy in school.  Not as long that I was trouble, yes, but not long time when I was so young. My mum and dad move house all the time and I give up after moving house four or five times. Oh lord why. My good friend got me new games I can’t remember what this was called but this was good games, long time ago I cannot remember the name.   Anyway, I have my Xbox for so long I love gaming but it’s my first time playing Fortnite I died so many time when I’m learning the games.

Today's blogging topic is childhood memories.
When I was little I did fun things!!
I have a big sister Kaitlyn, she would always play with me, we'd play dress ups and played games.
Little Ronalda smiled a lot when she was having fun. I played on the playground, I'd liked to slide down the slide.
I liked to watch movies and rest on the couch I still do now!
When I was little I loved to colour and draw and do any type of craft, I actually still love to do that. I used to dance around the house and sing happy songs, it was so much fun. I remember going to church every Sunday and spending that day with family. We had a lot of celebrations where the whole family would gather at a park and spend time together. Grandma was my best friend growing up and I miss her so much. We used to drive to Sydney a lot and have a little holiday there.

I think about my mum when she took me shopping, And at home I've got a photo in my room of my mum.
I remember when my mum used to come into my room and talk to me. I used to be able to go away with my friends when my mum was here. I used to like it when my mum helped me with my anxiety.
Now I have my dad around he let me do most things my mum let me do sometimes but now l have friends to support me with my hard time and that is so good It stops being sad me now.
This was a hard blog for me but I'm brave.

My childhood memories mean a lot to me and are very precious. There were no smart phones, digital cards, gadgets, YouTube, or social media back then. I just want to share that I spent my childhood in Indonesia.
One of my favourite childhood memories is being spoiled with cute merchandise. I remember receiving many presents such as cute loungewear trousers, Powerpuff Girls cutlery sets, a Disney Princess backpack, a sheep plush toy, and lunchboxes. I could go on and on sharing about my childhood gifts. Unfortunately, I do not keep all of them anymore. I remember Mum gave away my cute trousers to my cousins. However, I still kept my Snoopy bowl and plate, my Cinderella bowl, and my Barbie plastic cup.
Birthday celebrations and parties were amazing when I was a child. For my second birthday, I had a party at Wendy’s. I do not remember it, but Mum kept all the photos. I did not feel awkward when guests sang to me, but Mum told me I was scared of the mascot characters, which were Pooh and Tweety. My dad’s side of the family attended, and the invitation had a clown design, which Mum still keeps.
I also had birthday celebrations at school. I was happy when all the kids sang to me. My family put the goodie bags inside a cardboard box. Inside there were snacks and stationery. It was nice to have both edible treats and keepsakes. Now that I am older, I feel uncomfortable celebrating my birthday in public, and I do not like it when people surprise me or sing to me. That does not mean I feel sad about my birthday. I just prefer quiet celebrations. I like receiving digital cards from my family because they do not make me jumpy. I just hear a small notification sound on my phone.
I also loved going to my classmates’ birthday parties, usually at fast food places. I enjoyed eating junk food, playing party games, and receiving goodie bags at the end. The parties were usually in the evening because we had school. If it was during school holidays or weekends, the party could be in the morning.
I also loved listening to nursery rhymes. I had Disney nursery rhyme cassette tapes. I had Volume one with Mickey, Volume two with Pluto, and Volume three with Donald Duck. The songs were very catchy. I also had a nursery rhyme VCD with lyrics at the bottom so we could sing along. There were pictures too, mostly live action with some animation.
I enjoyed watching Teletubbies, Barney, Tweenies, Disney Channel, and Playhouse Disney. I never had premium channels myself, but my grandparents did. I think my parents felt it was too much, and I might watch too many cartoons and forget to do homework, since those channels showed cartoons all day. Barney taught children to be positive and kind to others.

Dear readers, how are you today? Today’s topic is about childhood memories and I have chosen to write about my childhood memories. I have been on a plane only as a baby but never been on one as an adult. I don't remember what it was like to be on a plane as a baby but I am going on a plane soon. I had a baby comforter 'bye byes' instead of a dummy. I went to school by bus. I had very nice school teachers named Jackie and Helen. I played with my friends and then went to high school by bus which was really rough  (I had more fun in primary school).  I played games like tag and enjoyed music class. I did art and craft. I did drama class and started singing when I was a kid. I still like singing (nothing can stop me). I did colouring and still do it now sometimes. I got my glasses in primary school and still have them now I would do anything to go back to primary school.
Thank you for reading my blog. This is grown up Beth signing off until next time.

I can remember when I was 9 yrs old and I played with my friend named Jake who I went to school with. We had lots of fun together and sometimes we were in trouble.
My other good friend is Austin and we would go to the sprint cars and watch the cars go around the track.
I had a dog called Ollie and he was my little best friend, we would play together and once he jumped into the garden hedge.  We couldn't find him but then I saw his little face we were all so very happy, especially Ollie.
I had a happy time when I was growing up, and I wouldn't change a thing. My family gave me lots of love and support.

Dear readers, this week's topic is childhood memories.
Let me start by telling you about my childhood memories. As a child, me and my family would go to the park and me and my sister would have so much fun playing together on the swings and on the slide.  I used to play and build with Lego, and I did art and crafts, painting, colouring in a colouring book and my sister and I went to birthday parties and sleepovers together. We would watch kids cartoons and movies like Barbie, Pepper Pig, Frozen , Dora the Explorer, The Wiggles, Postman Pat, Fireman Sam, Octonauts, Strawberry Shortcake and as a family we would watch the Polar Express at Christmas time. Here is a small list of movies that I would watch as a teenager, Pretty Little Liars,  High school musical all three movies, Bones the tv show, all the Scream movies and the Hannah Montana movie. 
As I was growing up we had two beautiful German Shepherds, one boy and one girl. The boy name was Diesel and the girl was called Lady and we loved them so much but as me and my sister got older we had to re-home them because we moved house.

Shan’s Childhood memories blog.
This week we are talking about our childhood memories. Childhood was a time when life was much simpler, where all we had to do was be a child and listen to our adults in our lives, but most of us didn’t realise how good our young lives were and sometimes we were wishing we could hurry up and grow up. How silly we were to want to rush into adulthood, with all the things that come with being an adult if we knew then what we know now, we probably would have wished to be a kid forever. Though you couldn’t pay me to go back to school, I did my time and I’m not doing that twice. 
My childhood was filled with episodes of The Saddle Club, Delta Goodrem Songs, The Lion King movies and a whole heap more. I was filled with imagination, a love of magic and make believe. Until my forth year in primary school, when my sister was born all I wanted was to have a sibling. I would imagine that I had one, playing in the backyard with my imaginary sibling was so fun. I loved the idea of having someone to hang out with all the time and someone that I could love with my whole heart. The closest I had to a sibling was my beautiful friend Ebony who I have known since she was born. When I learned that I was going to be a big sister Ebony was just as excited because it was like she was getting a sibling too. Some people have soul mates in life but I have a soul sister. 
I never imagined that I would actually get a real human sibling as I had always just been an only child, so when I was told that I was going to have a baby brother or sister I cried but it was happy tears. I don’t think I’ve ever felt so blessed and grateful as I did that day. You could say it was like all my Christmas’s, Easter’s and birthday’s had come at once, all my wishing had paid off. The day she was born I was the most impatient to meet her.  I kept getting up and walking around and it felt like the longest wait of my life. She was all wrapped up in a silver blanket thing when I first saw her and everyone was so excited, not as excited as I was though. 
I got upset when I thought a nurse was hurting her and she was crying and I had to go outside with the rest of my extended family to calm down. I was so happy that my beautiful little sister had joined me in this world that I wanted to make sure she was ok all the time. We played lots of peek-a-boos together and I would chase her around playing a game I called “I’m going to get you” it was like chasey but slower, much slower. I loved having this little gift of a human in my life and would always talk about her in the best way because she is one of my favourite humans. 
We were able to share our childhoods and our lives are forever intertwined and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Anyway my childhood was filled with lots of love and fun. 
Thank you for joining us, 
Your friend, 
Shan.
