8 Things We Miss About Being a Kid

Author Aimee Thomas

Do you ever find yourself thinking back on the good old days when life was much simpler? A new survey by Tropicana asked adults what they miss most about being a child and the results are bringing me right back.

  1. Everyone loves a good school holiday and it turns out that adults miss this luxury more than anything else. It’s no surprise given that holidays are usually filled with playdates, family trips, and sleep-ins. What could be better?
  2. Waking up without any worries or pressures for the day ahead. Ahh, bliss.
  3. Groceries and laundry. I mean common. Remember when mom just did your laundry and cooked every meal for you? Now I am the mom. SIGH.
  4. Remember when you wanted to get older? Waking up on your birthday morning feeling excited instead of dreading another year older!
  5. Spending time outside! playing in parks with fresh air and sunshine. Getting sad when the sun goes down because you have to go inside.
  6. And who can forget pocket money? Although most of us don’t receive pocket money anymore, there’s something special about having our own allowance as children to buy candy or toys with!
  7. Seeing friends every day at school makes us nostalgic for those times when we had people around us constantly.
  8. BILLS! Not having them!

If there is anything I know from reading these is that I wish that I appreciated all of that so much more when we were younger. Getting to see your best friends at least five days a week was the absolute best. I also wish that I could try to instill in my kids to soak up every moment of their childhood and teenage years.

What’s Your Song? The Top First Dance Songs for 2023

It’s wedding season! That means it’s time to get everything together for the big day. Whether you already have a song in mind that unlocks special memories, or if you’re still searching for your perfect first dance song we got you covered.

Planning your wedding can be exciting but it is most definitely an overwhelming process. One of the most important decisions you will make is what song you want to play for your first dance together as a married couple. (EEEEK) While some couples already have a special song in mind, others may not be sure where to start their search for the perfect first dance tune. Let’s take a look at how to choose the perfect first dance song for your wedding.

The tempo of your first dance song is one of the most important. Do you want something slow and romantic or upbeat and energetic? Do you want classic rock, country, pop, or maybe something else entirely? Again, it really depends on what kind of music both you and your honey enjoy listening to together or what songs mean something to you.

Scroll down and listen to the list we put together for the top wedding songs of 2023. When you’re listening ask yourself if the song makes you and your honey feel something special.

Remember that it doesn’t have to be a traditionally popular choice.

Hopefully, our list gives you some ideas of where to start when picking out “your song.” There are classics like Elvis Presley, and Etta James and music from today like Bruno Mars, Michael Bublé, Ed Sheeran, Adele, and Justin Bieber.
