Lick the breakfast bowl clean!

Every single nook and cranny.  (His nose does not normally bend like that!)

 

I’ve been up since 5:30 – why is it that you can never sleep when you really want to? But it’s not entirely a bad thing because my sleeplessness meant that James and I got to go on a long walk when the sun rose.

 

We worked up quite an appetite.

Looks like regular waffles, but it was 1/4 cornbread mix (Bob’s Red Mill GF cornbread mix).  It took away some of the normal sweetness of the waffle mix (Bisquick GF), but in a good way.  Very tasty.

 

With Greek yogurt and blueberries.

If you had a re-live a decade from any time, which would it be? Honestly, I thought the 1990s were pretty sweet.  Scrunch socks and AOL Chat rooms?!  Bring. It. On.

    Hilarious! I loved the 90’s! (I am totally NOT an 80’s lover… I just don’t get it.) However, if I could go back to any decade, I would choose the 70’s… I’m a total hippie and flower child at heart. 🙂

  • Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat February 22, 2012, 7:57 am

    I LOVED the 90s too! I was all about the teen magazines (BB, Bop, etc), Freddie Prinze Jr movies, the Spice Girls, and those little mini backpacks that I remember BEGGING my mum for. Oh to be a kid again!! Happy humpday Caitlin!

  • Catalina @ Cake with Love February 22, 2012, 8:16 am

    I would probably choose the 30es and 40es, love the fashion from that time, the corset dresses, the curls!

  • Lee February 22, 2012, 8:16 am

    Have you seen Portlandia? I love the opening sketch song in the pilot – the dream of the 90’s.

  • Hillary February 22, 2012, 8:24 am

    Oh my God. I forgot Sassy even existed.

  • Amber @ Busy, Bold, Blessed February 22, 2012, 8:30 am

    I’m sorry but I do not want to relive 90s fashion lol. Go watch an episode of Full House, the clothing and the mullets… it’s hilarious!

    I wasn’t alive then, but I want to go back to the 60s or 70s. I’d want to go to Woodstock and go see Led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix.

  • Brittney February 22, 2012, 8:41 am

    Wow, that 90s list is awesome! That cracked me up!

  • Samantha Cernock February 22, 2012, 8:59 am

    That was awesome, thanks for sharing! I’d relive the first decade of 00’s. I lived in Italy and traveled all over Europe. It was wonderful!

  • Jamie @ Don't Forget the Cinnamon February 22, 2012, 9:00 am

    The place I worked at over the summer sold a blueberry corn muffin that was so so good! Until I saw your waffle, I forgot all about the combination but now you’ve inspired me to get crackin’ on a bb corn recipe!

  • Kristy @ KristyRuns February 22, 2012, 9:00 am

    I’d relive the 90s for sure. So much awesomeness.

  • Katie @ Soulshine and Sassafras February 22, 2012, 9:06 am

    Love the 90s list! I would definitely relive the 90s as a kid, but I might relive the early 2000s as an adult… I like the fashion circa 2000-2002.

  • Marisa E February 22, 2012, 9:20 am

    That article was All that AND a bag of chips!!! Haha!! Brings back so many memories….

  • Jen February 22, 2012, 9:33 am

    I have fond memories of the 90s too, so if I were re-living a decade from my own life I’d go back to the time of Skip-It, watching Full House after school, and overly dramatic music videos (Celine Dion, I’m looking at you).

    But if I could pick from any decade, I would choose the 60s for all of the massive social changes: I’d be able to witness and participate in the Civil Rights movement first-hand, and all of the major debates in literary theory and philosophy are fascinating (the dawn of structuralism, the advent of deconstruction, Foucault’s Discipline and Punish… I could go on and on). I love 60s pop culture too: I loooovvvvve the Beatles and Motown and all the classic movie musicals from that era (The Music Man is my absolute favorite).

  • KatieTX February 22, 2012, 9:34 am

    That was the best 48 picture selection ever. I miss the 90s. Lisa Frank for life!

  • Joanne February 22, 2012, 9:34 am

    I agree. The 90’s were good. The 80’s were good but based on my college days, a bit on the wild side so we can let those go.

  • Laura @ My Pink Thumb February 22, 2012, 9:46 am

    ok, that link is fantastic!! oh the 90s.

  • CJ @ http://healthy-happy-whole.com February 22, 2012, 9:51 am

    I have to agree the 90’s were pretty cool. Hello Tiger Beat magazine, Jonathan Taylor Thomas and Tamagatchis! Aol IM was so addicting!!!

  • Caroline February 22, 2012, 9:54 am

    1950s for sure!

  • Rachel February 22, 2012, 9:55 am

    I just watched Midnight In Paris, so the questions you’ve posed is especially interesting to me right now. I’m not sure when I would choose to live: I think there’s an appeal to the 50s, but the 90s were pretty great too. I also wonder what it’d be like to live in the 1800s.

    And that entire set of photos WAS my childhood. I love it! What a throwback! Scrunchies, Leo, and Full House FTW!

  • Katie @ Peace Love & Oats February 22, 2012, 9:55 am

    Haha the 90s were a pretty awesome decade, but I was born in 1987 and always wished that I’d been a college student during the 80s. My hair would have been awesome. I also think it would have been cool to be alive during the 50s, I imagine Grease! haha.

  • Claire @ Live and Love to Eat February 22, 2012, 9:56 am

    I enjoyed the 90’s, but the 50’s look like they were fun, too! I spent WAY too much money on teeny bopper magazines in the 90s.

  • Laura February 22, 2012, 10:08 am

    That link to all the 90s photos seriously made my day! haha Loved them all!

  • Christine @ BookishlyB February 22, 2012, 10:09 am

    While I was born in the 80s, I’d definitely love to go live in the 60s for the first time. Woodstock? Yes!

  • Khushboo February 22, 2012, 10:09 am

    Loved growing up in the 90s- Full House and Lights Out trainers!

  • Amanda @ AmandaRunsNY February 22, 2012, 10:15 am

    I saw that one too! I was in love with Devon Sawa when I was like 12…I thought he was the hottest thing ever. I’d watch Casper over and over again. How embarassing!

  • Corrie Anne February 22, 2012, 10:17 am

    Haha. I loved aol chat rooms!

  • Ashley February 22, 2012, 10:18 am

    As far a fashion goes, I think the 80’s totally trumps the 90s! Hello, neon colors, side ponies, and tulle skirts! Too bad my mom was still dressing me in the 80’s. 🙂

  • Gina @ Running to the Kitchen February 22, 2012, 10:32 am

    90s hands down. From scrunch socks in the early years to awesome high school shenanigans in the later years…loved it!

  • Cat @ Breakfast to Bed February 22, 2012, 10:41 am

    slap bracelets and penny loafers. flannels and sandals-worn together. reality bites. oh yes, the 90s.

    • CaitlinHTP February 22, 2012, 1:03 pm

      slap bracelets are epic. the end.

  • Elisabeth February 22, 2012, 10:49 am

    I love those 90’s pics! I’m 29, so I definitely grew up in the 90’s 🙂 The pics showed some of my old favorite TV shows – Full House, Clarissa Explains it All, Saved by the Bell, Leonardo DiCaprio when he was on Growing Pains… 😀

  • Jolene (www.everydayfoodie.ca) February 22, 2012, 10:52 am

    I had that picture of Leo on my wall, and I totally LOVED Sassy! What a great magazine! I also loved Jane. Don’t know what happened to them 🙁

  • elizabeth @ chronic venture February 22, 2012, 11:20 am

    those 48 photos are AMAZINGGG!

  • Jennifer February 22, 2012, 11:35 am

    As cheesy as the 80’s were, I miss those days. The fashion may have been a little odd (shoulder pads???), but the music was so fun. I have the 80’s channel playing right now on SiriusXM. 🙂

  • Stellina @ My Yogurt Addiction February 22, 2012, 12:19 pm

    What kind of Greek yogurt is that? It looks like vanilla with little specks of vanilla bean??? I’ve never seen this…please do tell! 🙂

    • CaitlinHTP February 22, 2012, 12:55 pm

      It’s the flavor Trader Joe’s kind!

  • Dori February 22, 2012, 12:25 pm

    #1 on the 90s link credits my boyfriend’s Twitter feed as the source! That is awesome. #16, however, is phenomenal.

  • Sneakers2Sandals February 22, 2012, 12:35 pm

    Such a fabulous article! My friend sent it to me…I love how the 90’s speaks to our generation. Growing up people would say that nothing characterized it but obviously there were a lot of funny moments in the 90s!

  • Annette @ EnjoyYourHealthyLife February 22, 2012, 1:03 pm

    I liked the 90’s, but I loved the 00’s too!!

  • Toni February 22, 2012, 1:14 pm

    I loved the 90’s when there was no facebook or twitter. More people attended high school reunions to see what is new with their friends and now the numbers have dropped significantly with facebook.

  • Carly February 22, 2012, 1:59 pm

    OMG love the 90’s link! So awesome, I had to tweet that. The 90’s rocked! But of course, I’m biased because I grew up in the 90’s (born in 85). Does anyone remember POGs? Good times!

  • Amber K February 22, 2012, 2:51 pm

    I have no desire to relive any part of the past. Or even visit the past. I’m all about the future. Bring on the flying cars that drive themselves and expanded medical knowledge!

  • erica February 22, 2012, 3:49 pm

    i would love to go back and live life in the 20s (mainly for the fashion. i love the flapper style!) but if you meant relive a decade that i’ve lived in….no thanks. lol.

  • Andrea @ Run, Eat, Date, Sleep February 22, 2012, 4:35 pm

    Oh my gosh. The picture of the “gadgets” is cracking me up. I forgot all about those Casio things. And Lisa Frank stuff! LOL

    I’m not sure about a decade, but I’d definitely relive my college years and do things differently like socialize more!

  • Kelly February 22, 2012, 4:52 pm

    I agree…I would totally redo the 90’s mainly because I was in high school from 96-99 and I LOVED (like would go back in a second loved) high school!

  • Katie @ Talk Less, Say More February 22, 2012, 10:30 pm

    I’ve been in the mood for waffles for quite some time. I should do something about that! 🙂

  • Jen February 23, 2012, 2:00 am

    Nostalgia-wise, I would have to go with the crazy 80’s (yes, I am a BIT older than you and, probably, most of your readers). But, I do also have a special fondness for the 90’s…most of my college days, plus the decade in which I met my husband! 🙂 I will definitely have to check out those pics!

  • Julia @ Brides Up North February 23, 2012, 6:17 am

    Caitlin – this has made me so nostalgic! Time does fly. Enjoy every minute, because it moves so fast. Love early 90s Leo. Boy has he grown up! Julia xxx

  • Megan February 23, 2012, 12:22 pm

    48 photos that perfectly capture the 90’s made my day… Thank you! 🙂

  • Dominique February 23, 2012, 4:43 pm

    Wow there was so much from the 90s and my childhood that I totally forgot about! I totally remember that Saved By The Bell PSA. I had such a crush on Zack Morris. I still do. Oh and Breckin Meyer too. LOVE HIM!

    I’d love to live the 80s. I was young when it happened and wasn’t really aware of all the awesomeness that is 80s music.

  • JenATX February 23, 2012, 10:45 pm

    dont you love going for a walk when everyone else is asleep? its very peaceful 🙂
