Remember when your parents would bring you where they grew up and bore the everlovingeverything out of you?
How they’d draaaaag you down memory lane and force you to visit their old haunts while they reminisced?
Remember how you swore you’d never, ever, ever, EVER do that to your own kids (if you even had any because you were very very certain you probably definitely maybe would NOT)?
That’s what I’m doing.
This week.
With To the Child.

My parents did that to me every summer growing up.
They would drag me around Wisconsin showing me everything I didn’t care about ??
Have fun!

July 25, 2016 at 6:03 amOooooo have fun with that. I never really mind doing such things–especially now that I live so far removed from so much of my past!

July 25, 2016 at 11:27 amAwesome 🙂 Have a blast! I spent years 1-10 in the same town my parents grew up in, so I never got that experience (it was all old news, haha) But I’m certain I’ll do it to my kids !!

July 25, 2016 at 11:56 amOh man. I used to be such an annoying child – throwing tantrums when I was dragged somewhere I didn’t want to be.
And then I grew up and realized how special those memories were.
Lucky for you, your little one seems to be MUCH better at following along than I was. Loved the matching sports bras!

August 13, 2016 at 8:53 amParents just want their children to know more about them: how they grow up, what they did when they were a child….That is a kind of education. And by that way, they also wanna find some remnant of their childhood.
