30 Toys From The Sears Wishbook We All Wanted Under Our Christmas Tree 30 Years Ago

By Tanya
I think we can all agree that one of the best things to do while growing up was digging through the Sears Wishbook to try and make our Christmas lists.It was around this time every year that we started to get really serious about it, even though Christmas was still a ways off. We obviously needed a lot of time to plan out our lists for Santa Claus, and we weren't about to make the same mistake as the year before and forget to send one! The Wishbook was an important part of that and while it may not

10 Weebles Playsets From Our Childhoods We Loved To Watch Wobble

By Tanya
There were always toys when you were a kid that seemed to be more important than the rest. There were some that you couldn't go to bed without, there were others that you spent months begging your parents for, and then there were a few that were just staples, readily available where ever you went. No matter which friends house you were at or doctor's office waiting room you were in, there were some that just seemed to be everywhere. Weebles were one of the toys you would be mostly likely to find anywhere that toys were set up for

'Overboard' May Be The Best Rom-Com Of All Time, But We've Still Got Questions

By Tanya
If you had to pick one Hollywood couple whose love you believed in stronger than any others, chances are you're going to say Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell. The two first met on the set of The One and Only, Genuine, Original Family Band in 1968, but Russell was too young for Hawn to be interested in him (he was only 16 at the time, she was 21). They met again in 1984 on the set of Swing Shift, and this time they hit it off. Both were divorced, both had children, and shortly after they reunited they fell in

Clueless Is Getting A Remake And All We Can Say Is "As If"

By Tanya
So, remakes are everywhere, they are inescapable. Every time you turn around there's another one in the works, and while it's exhausting, there's not a whole lot we can do to stop it. But sometimes they go too far.The newest remake to get the green light is one that we never expected. One that could not possibly be improved. One that is too glorious to even pretend like there is any room for improvement. This time, the newest classic that Hollywood has decided to remake is none other than the iconic teen comedy Clueless. AS IF. Paramount PicturesI know

This One Teen's Tweet About Burning CDs Will Honestly Ruin Your Day

By Tanya
All of us who would consider ourselves to be 80s and 90s kids aren't really that old, right? We are still in the prime of our lives, and a lot of us still feel like we're just getting started on our path to being a "real grown-up." Maybe it's not the greatest that a lot of us still feel young, but times have changed since our parents were in their 30s. We've learned how to chill out and take our time in our lives. There's no rush, so let's all just relax and try to stay young longer.Here's the

5 Secrets Of 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow' To Get You Ready For The Midnight Jamboree

By Tanya
The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is one of those classics that we all remember watching as young children. It was about as spooky as we could all handle at the time, and as a requirement every Halloween season. There weren't as many Halloween movies as there were Christmas movies, so it was nice to have something to watch. The movie is an oldie but a goody, dating back to 1949. The animated movie was shorter than other Disney movies you remember, but there was a reason for that that we'll get to later. They managed to make this movie something

10 Things Our Grandparents Taught Us When We Were Growing Up That We'll Never Forget

By Tanya
When it comes to family members, there are few people who are as universally awesome as grandparents.Sure, aunts are awesome, uncles are great, and there are always some pretty excellent cousins, but a grandparent is unlike any of the rest. Those who grew up near their grandparents are obviously the luckiest of them all, because they had this second set of parental figures to go to for advice. But instead of forcing them to do chores or homework, they just fed them yummy snacks and let them play. My Grammie, my sister and ITanya RuiterBeing a grandparent sounds like

His Small Part In 'Ferris Bueller' Became Iconic, But Where Is Ben Stein Now?

By Tanya
The words "Bueller...Bueller...Bueller?" can only be read in one way, and with that simple, monotone delivery, a star was born. Ben Stein played the economics professor in the iconic John Hughes classic Ferris Bueller's Day Off, and that role managed to launch his career in a way that you may not expect for someone with such a small part. Sure, he's on screen for less than five minutes, but it's the delivery you remember. Yes, obviously the other characters are more present, and you can remember some of the more iconic moments as well, but it's Stein's line

'Mannequin' Was One Of The Weirdest Movies Of The 80s, And We've Still Got Some Questions

By Tanya
I know that 80s movies are a category of their own. Sure, there are rom-coms and action movies, but then there are also 80s rom-coms and 80s action movies. They are different, they are unparalleled, and they are just better than other movies. Case in point: Mannequin. The outrageously bizarre 80s rom-com brings joy to all of our hearts (or at least those lucky enough to remember it) even though the premise is absolute bonkers. Here's the thing, I love this movie with my whole heart. I can probably quote the entire thing to you right now (I won't) but
