1. Disney Movies: At age 5 Disney movies were the best. I laughed at all the funny things the characters did to entertain me with their innocent dialogue. At 25, that innocent dialogue transforms into a story that is so relatable and yanks at my heartstrings.
What I thought was the funniest thing ever at 5...
Is now what I cry uncontrollably at, at 25...
2. Cry On Mom's Shoulder: Sure we may have boyfriends, fiancés, husbands... but nothing is more soothing than calling up mom and just crying about the problem. Guys just don't understand how our minds work, but mom always does, and always will.
3. Sleepovers: At age 5 we used to stay up with our girlfriends playing truth or dare, pretty pretty princess and giggling our way through the night. At 25 our sleepovers are every night thanks to roommates! Instead of truth or dare we simply refer to it as juicy gossip, engagement rings replaced pretty pretty princess and the giggles are caused by an overload of cupcakes and champagne!
4. Lunchables: Best lunch EVER! I remember I would (still) only use a little bit of the sauce and cheese on the first two pizzas and then make a super mega pizza for the third pizza! Plus, they always came with Capri Sun! An adult needed to poke that hole for you because it seemed easier solving Pi than attempting to get the straw into that hole! But today at 25 I still love these, and with only 300 calories they are the perfect size for a treat that feels like cheating, but it's not!
Age 5...

This was originally a guest post written for Erin at Love, Fun and Football! Have a great week, my lovely friends!
This is such a sweet post! There's nothing better/more needed after a bad day than a long talk with mama!
ReplyDeleteI still have a love of Disney movies! And since I don't live in the same state as my mom, daily phone chats are a must. I don't think I'll ever outgrow it!

Everything about this is just a big YES. Mamas always know best.
ReplyDeleteI need a big girl sleepover ASAP. And yes, I still call my mom every single day.
ReplyDeleteYep. Love this. Especially lunchables!! Those were/are my jam. They're a great drunk munchie food!
ReplyDeleteI agree with all of these! xx
ReplyDeleteOmg yes. This makes me so happy!!!
ReplyDeleteOMG! Disney Movies ... The only time I never felt guilty about having a crush on cartoons. Aladdin could get it. Simba too ... Not because I'm into animals ... But because JTT was the voiceover ;)
ReplyDeleteIt's raining today and I brought my rainboots to work in hopes that I can splash through some puddles on the way to lunch later, not gonna lie...
ReplyDeleteI love lunchables. And pretty much this entire list.
ReplyDeleteDisney Movies are the best. Also playing in the rain is pretty awesome at any age!
ReplyDeleteso true...Disney movies are awesome at any age!!!!!
ReplyDeleteso cute! i still love disney movies (and up is such a tearjerker!) and of course i still cry to my mom too awww.
ReplyDelete-- jackie @ jade and oak
I still love Disney movies too! And if Ryan Gosling wants to come play in the rain with me then I'm DOWN!
ReplyDeleteLunchables will always always always be acceptable. And you get bonus points for talking about the pizza ones. We all know you were cooler if you had the pizza ones.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with all of this! Absolutely! I looove the rain especially.
ReplyDeleteAll very true! When Pete and I broke up, I went straight to my mom's house. Not my friends, just my mommy. Totally ok :)
ReplyDeletei agree with all of this except lunchables that shit is nasty! I am over it though because my agreement with #1 is so strong. My gaybor and I used to watch Aladdin every single weekend after the bar.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree! These things aren't just ok, they've gotten better with time :)
ReplyDeleteMichelle @ Mishfish13
Now I'm craving a Lunchable...
ReplyDeleteYes! Love these. Disney movies seem to just get better and better. And adult sleepovers...I think booze definitely helps make those so much fun!
ReplyDeleteWatching Disney movies at your mom's house with your friends while you're eating a lunchable and it's raining outside. Yeh, I went there.
ReplyDeleteI looooove Lunchables!! I don't get them much anymore because Boyfriend hates having them around the house, but man oh man, I kind of miss them sometimes! I would always make the super mega ultra pizza for the last one, too.. It just seemed so much better that way!
ReplyDeleteThis is too legit. I lurv it :)
ReplyDeleteThis list is the best. I agree with every single thing! Oh Disney, never leave me.
ReplyDeleteLove this! And yes, the older I get, the more I appreciate my tastes as a child... :)
ReplyDeleteI must be the only weirdo that never like pizza lunchables. Gimme the cracker sandwiches any day! I used to have to beg Mom to buy them and she only would on special occasions haha. Cute post Miss Sarah!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great post! And I totally did the same thing with my pizza lunchable - go super light with the toppings on the first two and all out on the third one. My husband and I still eat those for lunch sometimes? :)
ReplyDelete-Ashley
all true!! you know what else was ok then and ok now? threes company. and star wars.
ReplyDeleteMom just does best, well maybe not as much as a Disney movie, but she sure does a lot.
ReplyDeleteLunchables are my shit.
ReplyDeleteCute post today! I did the same with my lunchables:)
ReplyDeleteI love Disney movies! I mean, who doesn't?
ReplyDeletewhat a cute little post! I do all these :) and i will be 25 next year
ReplyDeleteI watched Mulan the other day because MY BOYFRIEND HAD NEVER SEEN IT. HOW!? And then we felt old.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with everything, especially the Disney movies!
ReplyDeleteThe Grass Skirt
Disney movies rock. Now that I have a baby I can use her as an excuse to watch them but really I don't care I watch them anyway. :)
ReplyDeleteBest blog post ever. I watched Mulan yesterday and had an adult sleepover Saturday. HOW DO YOU KNOW MY LIFE?!
ReplyDeleteI loved this post and I can so relate to it..............and I know I that at 50 I still like to ring my mum when things are going wrong.....
ReplyDeletehaha glad to know others feel it is socially acceptable to hit the movies with your 20 some year old friends for the latest Disney movie..
ReplyDeleteand lunchables are freaking amazing still!
Simplyy-Serendipityy,

This post is amazing! I cry at Disney movies all the dang time now.
ReplyDeleteI love this post and I love the woman of 26 just like I did my baby of 5!
ReplyDeleteYes to all of this. However, my roommate and I don't eat cupcakes and drink champagne every day and now I just feel like I'm living wrong.
ReplyDeleteLove this! I just bought a lunchable the other day and I still love having sleepovers with my girlfriends!
