When you said "our children's most important job is to play" it made me so happy!
This was making me laugh because the 90s seem so recent, but then I started thinking how when I was a teen in the 80s we would look back at the 50s and think how different those times were!!
Haha yes … I was born in ‘83 so a bit younger than you… but I was feeling very old when she was reminiscing about the 90s like it was so different back then! 😅 I will be forever grateful for growing up pre-internet (it was still pretty primitive when I was a teenager) and mobile phones though. Didn’t get my first mobile until I was 19. And after high school spent 4.5 months backpacking in Asia (without a mobile phone) in a lot of remote and otherworldly places, only going to internet cafes every now and then to email family! You just can’t disconnect from the modern world anymore! Even more sad is that the cultures around the world are changing and becoming so westernised due to globalisation. So I guess I do get reminiscing about that time 😊
My babies were all born in the 90's, I had a floral couch, we listened to music on tapes, and life in some ways was way better! But we have to take each era and try to make it worth remembering for our family and friends.
Love this take!
Things weren't perfect in the 90s, just different than now. There are always challenges and joys.
I agree. I'm nostalgic about the 80s and 90s in many ways, but thanks to the internet, we have a lot of knowledge and tools at our fingertips. We just have to use it all wisely.
I was a mom of two in the 90’s, working in a corporate job. Remember wearing matching Laura Ashley outfits with my daughter. Wish I had slowed down and really soaked in those times. Now I’m a “Mimi”, watching my kids raise their own families. 😊
I was turning 8 years old in the 90s.
What I remember most that could be relevant to homemaking and family is:
- kids were allowed to be bored. A LOT. It made us creative and we made up tons of games, skits, songs, etc
- there wasn’t a huge focus on making the home asthetically pleasing. Often times wall calendars were the most interesting piece of “art” 😅
Oh yes, the calendar wall art 😊 ... ❤
I was a 90’s Mom. I miss it. Our days were much more simple. When I fed my babies I used to stare at them and pray to remember this moment in time. How small they were. How they smelled as a baby. How they looked and sounded. I didn’t watch anything or look at anything other than them. I enjoyed this video very much. Thank you.
Class of 2000 here & nothing beats the Dewey decimal system in the libraries back in the day
Yes, as a young mother, I would pray over my babies as I would feed or rock them to sleep. Those were precious times. If I wasn't praying, I would sing to them. ❤
i was born in ‘86, so my entire childhood was the 90’s. looking back now, i SO desperately wish my children could have a childhood like i had… from little to no screens to playing outside until the street lights came on, walking to school & friend’s houses without a care in the world, the BEST cartoons ever, making mixed tapes & CD’s, NO SOCIAL MEDIA, not being tied to electronics. i feel like we are the last generation to truly live. things really went downhill & kept going after 2005-2010.
I was born in 87 and I totally agree with you❤
Your kids can still have that kind of childhood. You, as the parent, can choose not to let them have tablets and stuff. We had TVs in the 90’s and computers in the 90’s, so it isn’t fair to say we had no screens. 😉 My son turns 5 next month and he is very much a kid who plays outside all the time and likes playing board games and looking at books. Not every kid alive in 2024 is glued to tablets all day.
Hello, fellow ‘86 baby! 😊 We did grow up during a great time! I try my best to blend the best parts of my childhood with the best parts of the current day for my children. They are blessedly innocent and sheltered due to the choices we’ve made for them and I hope they look back on their childhood with fondness.
@@sayhello5377 yes we had tvs and computers but it was differnt. You did not have endless things that you liked to watch on TV. You had to wait an entire week to watch a new episode of something. Day time TV was soap operas, game shows or talk shows.
Me too! Hello fellow 86'er :) I want all of these things for my kids too. I think this next week will be an "internet is broken" kind of day.
I grew up in the 90s and loved it. I had the beenie babies, tomagatchi and always loved when dad would load the motor home and especially the massive cassette decks with all the music we would listen to down the road. Kids today don't appreciate 90s navigation with your mom in the passenger seat flipping the map all around trying to figure out where you are on the map and which way you're going lol. The good ole days
I was a young mom in the 90's. I did listen to the radio while doing chores (mostly Christian programs, a throw-back from what my mom did when I was a kid). For socialization (since we didn't have texting, etc.), I would either have friends with kids come over, or I would load up the kids and go to a friend's house for the day. I made a lot of casseroles (my mother-in-law taught me that). Thanks for taking me back and reminding me of those memories. I always enjoy your channel!
We were nostalgic for our “simpler days” growing up in the 70’s when I had my kids in the 90’s. 😂
funny how that works!
What things about the 70s were you nostalgic about? Just curious!
We used a pencil to fix a cassette tape 😊😊 I was in my teens early 20's in the 90's
Got through university without a mobile phone!! Those were the days!! 😄
I'm probably one of your older viewers but your content reminds me of the days when I was home with my children and is somehow comforting to see you take care of your family and home. Anyway, I graduated high school in 96. I'm glad you are still able to remember those simple times. Life was slower and it took more effort to connect with others in those days. People could stop by to say hi without calling. Thanks for sparking my old memories ❤
I graduated high school in 1981. I must be one of the ancient viewers. 😊
Your videos are just such an inspiration for me Megan! Thanks for being you and sharing with us. I love the balance on your channel between aesthetics/aspiration and reality/challenges. You manage to be uplifting without making me feel inept haha I think that's a really unique thing in the vlog space. Just wanted to say thanks!
You're kidding! That's EXACTLY what I'm going for! I take this as the highest compliment!
@@MeganFoxUnlocked Awesome! I hope you'll keep it up! You're such a blessing, our family is in a whirlwind season trying to buy a house, caring for 2 month old twins + 2yo toddler. Trying to keep all the plates spinning so to speak! your channel is one guilt free constant for me and has been for years now 🩷
So glad to be a 90's girl! I would like to be able to take my kids back to those days to experience what it was like for me growing up. Families were closer knit, groceries were cheaper, and people just seemed happier without all the negative influence of social media that they are exposed to today. It was easier to make "real life" friends as well. The 90's will always hold a special place in my heart!
This describes it wonderfully!!!
Let's see. In the 90's ... got married, moved to Wyoming, built a house. Had no phone or TV (our choice) and heated our home with a wood burner. It was an adventure for sure! Sweet memories!
90's kid/adult here. I graduated HS in '92, got my first apartment (rent was $250 for a 2 bedroom), my first car was a Ford Escort. Hair was big (LOL). I worked at a bank (from Sophmore year until I started college) and brought home $500 every 2 weeks (thought that was a lot) and worked at Subway PT to have a little bit of spending money to hang out with friends. The lake and the rodeo was our summer hang out. Movies were so much better (but not as good as the ones in the 80's), music was so good back then. Fun times! So long ago, great memories were made in the 90's. ❤
Most of us ARE NOT doing things to post for content! Lol! I think that's more of an influencer thing!
I was born ‘99 but that lifestyle suited my family so well that I grew up with much of what you discussed. That’s the joy of being home with your kids, is implementing what works for you! I remember practicing how to answer our landline, cutting colors out of magazines for crafts, and listening to kid story hour on the radio before bed.
That is awesome!
Growing up in the 90s was the best! I remember listening to Adventures in Odyssey episodes on the radio with my family around the dinner table, and listening to them on cassette tapes when we went on long car trips.
My favorite decade was the 90s! I loved the fashion, the music, the shows, and the general lifestyle! Things were so much simpler back then!
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, your videos always brighten my mood, even if my mood is already bright!
So glad you're here!
I was a 90 's mum and yes stensilled borders were the thing to have, i was born in 67 so i was a 70's kid, they were good days
I graduated high school in ‘92 😉. We wound up cassette tapes with a pencil 💁🏻♀️… and when I’m overwhelmed as a mom (I have grown kids down to a 5 year old) I actually do think back to how it probably was for my Mom in the 80’s / 90’s raising us, and I’m reminded how simplifying my life (and that mostly means pretending my phone and internet don’t exist) helps cut down on a lot of the stress!!
Oh. And florals from the 80’s/ 90’s are always a win. ☺️
I was born in 92 as well. The 90s and early 2000s were a great time to grow up. I try to have a slow life with my kids as well.
Also I didn’t know cookbooks weren’t a thing anymore😂 I have a collection and still look through them
I remember playing outside all day every day and my mom had several big gardens and she did a lot of house and yard projects to keep herself very busy
I’m so excited for this one Megan💕 the 90s was SO much fun! I hope you’re having a wonderful summer! You inspire me in so many ways thank you💕💕💕💕
Grew up in the 90s, the good old days for sure!!!
Always happy to see a new video! I'm almost 37 weeks pregnant and watching with my feet up while taking a break from homemaking 😊
Love this! Enjoy your rest!
@@MeganFoxUnlocked thank you ❤️ I definitely will
Audiobooks were available in the 90's as books on casette tape. Some public libraries still have them.
I really enjoyed this vlog, thank you. It felt kind of nostalgic actually! Life sure felt a lot simpler in the 90s. I used to just go outside and play with my neighbors, all unsupervised 😅 and come home when it was dinner time. Collecting stickers and buying bubble gum was a big thing in my life at that time 😂 It was nice to have dinner on the table and then my mom would give me bath, I’d watch one cartoon episode on TV and then down to bed! We had very limited cassette tapes of cartoons so I’d watch the same ones over and over again and never got tired of it. Nowadays there are too many options for kids.
I lived in California in 1993. I was in my early twenties. The first time I saw someone using a mobile phone in a shop. It was mind blowing. Another era.
I don’t think gas was that high in 92. My friend started driving in 96 and it was like $.89 a gallon. We could go for days on $5.
Hmmmm. I need to fact check myself. It's what it said when I looked it up and I thought wow, that's high.
I love the poster you had in the background when you talked about kiwico!
I remember all of the 1990s (1983 baby here). In 1990, neon colors were a huge deal. Crayon boxes had electric blue and other tones I had not seen before in the 1980s. I was in Kindergarten and 1st grade that year. Everyone had neon shorts with crazy designs on them. I wore a lot of floral with bright tones. There are so many other things. . .Those were just the start of the 1990s! I remember wearing a lot of hairclips when I became a teenager in the mid 1990s. Like little glittery ones. Blue mascara became big. Lots of rings from Claire's was huge. Chunky shoes (I had royal blue and bright orange platform sneakers with star laces). Early 1990s mom fashion, I remember those straight dresses with buttons all the way down and little sweaters over them, maryjane shoes with socks. I feel that was typical of moms. Big hair and perms was huge in the early 1990s while ironed hair was big in the late 1990s. Funny! I didn't have a cell phone until 2005 (a flip phone). I was married for a year already then. My dad had a beeper in the early 1990s and I thought that was so pointless. I was like, "Why do you have to call that number back? Why not just have them call our home phone and answer that to save you the trouble?" HAHA. We had 1970s Fedders air conditioners in the 1990s. Catalogs were huge in the mid to late 1990s. I had Alloy, Moxie Girl, Delias, and a few others. In the 1990s, Ecto Cooler Hi-C was a drink people liked. It was green and I did not like it. Others liked Mondo which was blue. I didn't like the 1990s. They felt strange to me. I knew of too many people who got caught up into drugs like extasy and it just felt strange. I always felt odd. I enjoyed the 1980s and 2000s. :) Have a great week.
I love the 90's lifestyle. Life was just slower and still busy but in a different way ☺️ A more present way. Not future 😄
I am playing your video on loop all day to glance at it while at work. 😅. I love going thru the actual seasons and life seasons with you❤
I was also born in ‘92 and I loved everything about this video. Your description of your favorite outfit took me right back to my curled bangs and favorite velvet Christmas dresses with white tights and a giant bow. 😅 I’m thankful to know what this era felt like because although I can’t recreate it for my kids, I can do my best to instill the values that come from a slower pace of life!
The phone battery answer was... Who the heck knows because you were scolded if that phone did not go right back on the cradle! Haha. 80s baby here. Loved, loved the 90s. From non busy Disneyland, unprocessed meals, to plaing outside with community and absolutly no clue of where to go or who might be there.
I loved the 90s! The big bangs with lots of Hairspray! Banana clips, charm bracelets, jelly shoes, smelly stickers! Loved it all! We also live in ohio and went to lots of tractor pulls! But loved playing outside for lots of hours! If it was raining we loved playing office & board games! There were 5 of us kids so we kept busy! ❤
Playing office? What was that?
I love that you cherish the 90's and all your childhood memories. I actually graduated from High School in 1991 and eventually was a mother of two throughout the late 90"s. Those were good times and simpler because we really didn't know what other people were doing unless we called them on the home phone or talked to them in person. Love your videos and how you inspire me to love being a homemaker.
The high ponytails and high lace socks from the 90s 😅
We had a corded phone through most of the 90’s because my dad refused to get a cordless phone because he knew it would never be where it was supposed to be when he needed it. 😂 And he would get the shortest cord he could find so we had to stand right where the phone was. 😂❤ My parents did eventually have a cordless phone but my dad still has never owned a cell phone. And I honestly really admire that about my dad….he doesn’t ever feel pressured to do anything just because "it’s what people do."💜
Gosh Megan talking about the 90's..I was in the midst of raising our 2 sons who were born in 83 and 87 and I worked full time outside the home. The 90's are somewhat of a blur! If you only knew what back in the 60's and 70's were like....that is when I was growing up!! I sure think it would be SO fun sometime for you to do a Q & A with your mother!!!! We could come up with all kinds of questions for her about raising her children and hearing of her childhood. Love seeing the children. I still think Baylor looks so much like Josh...so cute!! Wishing you a lovely summer since this is the first day of summer!!!! God bless you all!
Yes to a q and a with her mom ❤
Yes that would be wonderful!
I graduated from highschool in 1995, although we were transitioning to CDs, I was still recording my favorite songs off the radio on cassette on Saturday mornings. Neon was big, and my bangs were bigger. Thank you Aquanet!
What an adorable theme for your video. I was a 1990s mom. Thanks. 😊❤
I have to tell you, Megan, I enjoy your videos... And this one hit home. I was raising my kiddos in the 90s!! Great throwback!!
As I watched this video I was reflecting back to the 80s when my children were your children’s ages… ours has always been life in the city: us moms baking cookies, cross stitching, taking children to the park, weekly friendship bible coffee in our homes, camping together and always church services and activities. It was a very social time not isolation in our own homes. Clothing styles were never a big thing in my community of friends. We always dressed practically and modestly (although not dresses for the most part). By The 90s my children were teenagers, I was working at their Christian school (my children and I wore school uniforms) and I was busy going to their sports tournaments and other activities . We didn’t get cell phones until after 2015. I think the biggest change I see around me is the influence of social media. Also a move away from frequent entertaining in homes as a whole. A big food prep change for us has been the entrance of the air fryer! So wonderful for a retired widow❤. My grandchildren still love grandma’s cooking and baking and regularly come for family feasts and game playing.
That park is such a nostalgic park for me too!! ☺️ lots of family reunions held in the pavilions there, watching fireworks, etc.
Taste of Home magazine’s and cookbooks 😀 I loved looking through them. I still have them to this day. Even though my cooking is a lot different now much more whole food plant-based with a little meat.
❤my mom still has all the taste of home books 😊
@@kindnessmatters4068 they are the best. I wish I could eat all the food in them. 😁
I loved this ❤️ my youngest was born in 1990 brought back so many good memories - i loved the 90's ❤🎉😊
I loved this video! That was my life! Children in 1988, 1990, and 1993……..raised actively in our church, stay-at-home mom (after 7 years in college), home in the country very much like yours (I loved it and we did MANY renovations and additions ourselves), had a large garden and berries, canned/froze everything!!, took pride in my landscaping and flower beds (with NO posts), sewed all holiday outfits for 3 kids, played with and read to my kids constantly, and cooked everything from scratch. Really really good days……with no cell phones or internet……..most time at home with just me and my kids. We pinched pennies, I clipped coupons, had garage sales…….managed to pay all bills and take our kids on a 10-day vacation somewhere around the country every year. So many wonderful memories…….with a bazillion pictures printed out at CVS😂…….and I wouldn’t change one single thing, except to start over and do it all over again!!!! What a blessing!!
Megan I so appreciate what you do, and I also appreciate the lovely reminder to prepare Chicken Cordon Bleu!! We had it this evening and it was just SO GOOD!!!
Yes, I remember the 90’s, my boys were teenagers , so much fun❤
My first memories were lying in a cot in 1999 listening to the music playing off the music machine tied to the wall of the cot.
We moved to Vermont In 1994 and my daughter was 10. We had a wall phone,. If you needed to make a phone call when you were out, you stopped at a gas station and used a pay phone. It would have a phone book hanging there to look up numbers. I remember a friend had a mobile phone in a box and the phone was huge. We got our first cell phone in 2000 when my daughter started driving in case something might happen or she needed to get a hold of us.
I was born in 1981 so I definitely enjoyed growing up in the 80’s & 90’s 😂 I rode my bike and rollerblades in my high sinched shorts or overalls and spent summers dancing in front of my mirror with friends listening to CDs or making mixed tapes- good ol days! ❤
Oh goodness, I’m probably the oldest one on here!
The 90’s seem like yesterday to me😆
I grew up in the 60’s and 70’s😳
We just had our 50th year class reunion 😭😭
I absolutely love your videos and watching you (and Lynette) raise your beautiful families!
Lots to be said for “slower” times👍🏼❤️
Have a blessed weekend🙏
Same ❤😂
@@ozarkview928 same here! My 90's were filled with getting married then having my 3 children.
Me, too! Megan is about the age of my daughters.
When I was a kid in the 70's, the 1940's seemed so long ago. I couldn't believe my mother didn't have a refrigerator but had an ice box. To realize that the 90's is the same difference is unreal to me. My students just look at me weirdly when i say I used to have to do research in books in a library. The one thing that doesn't change is a mother's love for her children.
Same here - I was married, no kids, working as a law librarian in the 90's. I got divorced, met my husband, and life started a bit late for me - I was in my late 30s when I had our son. I still remember fondly the corded phone, typewriters, radio, and doing research without computers!
I remember I had a whole box of crazy hair accessories like scrunchies and big butterfly and flower clips and Pom poms, and when my mom did my hair in the 90s we would root through the box to pick out the accessories for that day!
Homesick for the 90s. I loved seeing how far that phone cord could stretch and having a huge sheet of paper next to the phone with everybody's number on it.
I was living my young adult life in the 90's. Slouch socks and shiny dress fabric was the in thing back then!
I loved the throw back to the 90's!! My daughter was born in 92 as well! I had 3 boys before she was born, so her birth was pretty special 😊 I swear I could smell that play doh, I made that all the time for my kids! I remember making cookies every week for snacks and just experimenting with different ingredients if I didn't have something in the recipe. Yeah, no going on the Internet or googling a substitute, lol! Thanks for bringing back sweet memories!! 🥲😍
Gotta say cooking has got to be less stressful with that option.
OMG the play dough !! So many memories, my mom and I made it all the time. It had the best texture. We used to colour it with no sugar added cool-aid and it would smell so delicious 😋
I didn’t not know of the hairpin hack for cassette tapes. My poor fingers 😅
I was born in '86. I fully remember the 90s, especially the second half. I definitely feel like my kids live in the 90s and that's on purpose! You're bored? Go climb a tree. Hot? Break out the kiddie pools. Hungry? Well, thats where i go to the early 1900s and make it from scratch, but you get the idea ;)
love this! I do elements of this as well!
What a fun video! My BABIES were both born in the 90's! I had a car phone (for work) and we had to take it to the dealership for them to install it in my car. My company paid the bill, but I remember the "base" cost of an installed car phone was $150/month + calls!!!
We got an older library book with the checkout card still in the back with stamps from the last times it was checked out before the library switched to computer only checkouts. My kiddo asked what it was and the nostalgia hit me hard.
Wow brilliant vlog Megan.
Where do I start about the 90s, I was 20 then so I had a 2 Yr old and prams were nothing like today's 😂, in the uk we had a milkman who delivered eggs,yogurt,milk and at Christmas a yearly diary 😁 full of recipes and home making ideas.
Adidas clothing and shell suits 😂 raa raa skirts and pointed toe flat shoes, Sunday would be a Roast at lunch and evening meal would be ham sandwiches with pickled cucumber and onions, baby beetroots, the beetroots always made the bread soggy & pink lol.
We covered our school books with wallpaper and scrap paper to keep the books nice.
We would listen to top of the pops on the radio and record it on a small tape machine that you put the tape in and would press record & play together 😂, sweet bags from the local corner shop,1p sweets 😋, we would get so much for the few pence we got for pocket money.
The Morris minor cars and the Hilmans were popular back then early 70s followed by the skoda that came on the market in the late 80,90s absolutely vile car 😂.
The mobile phones were huge and only the wealthy people or businesses had one, they had a huge battery that clipped on the bottom. People still shopped in the local markets for groceries rather than now everything pretty much comes from the one shop.
Tesco was a very popular store,as was Sainsbury's they were the only 2 main stores we had.
Our town was car friendly and everyone just got on with it,then late 90 early 00 modernisation came in 🤦♀️ ruined everything.
I have very found memories of my younger days 😊.
I still have one of those diary's from the milk man 😂.
Pressing record AND play.😂 I forgot about that.😂
I use that cookbook often. It is a good one. Being born in 1942, I remember quite a few more years, and they were wonderful. Went to Millersville University, which then was a State College. Lived near you, and love the area. Enjoy every age, every stage, and keep God first. Yep. Life is awesome.
Another great video! Thank you Megan! Have a blessed Sunday!
Oh to be in the 90’s again, I was just a kid and my favorite outfit was a denim shirt that had rose print patches on the shoulders with a rose printed skirt. Ugh I loved it and wore it all the time 😂 ❤
Would be a cute photo shoot someday with your fashion to be in a 90s (goose themed) kitchen cooking and talking on a corded phone mounted to the wall!! Definitely with wallpaper border too!!
Batteries would last a while because we wouldn't use our phones as much as we do now. Our "car phones " were for emergencies or to notify someone we were on our way.
My parents had a whole collection of encyclopedias that we used to “google” what we wanted to know 😅 I also remember going to the library a lot as a kid and borrowing books with cassette tapes to listen to, like Bernstein Bears. Oh, and on super special occasions my Mom would serve “Vienetta”, a frozen ice cream dessert that was sooo good 🤤
Ah, good ol’ nostalgia!
Interesting! I had never heard of Meadow tea until this video.
This was a really fun video Megan!! Thanks for being so creative and fun!
Love this video!!! One of my favorites from you, my son was raised in the 90s and would love if my grandkids would have the 90s experience!!!
Looks delicious Megan! Since I had three out of four of my children in the 90s, I have definitely made that chicken cordon bleu. It does help to make a white sauce and pour it over before serving! It was a thing in the nineties for me… because a white sauce makes everything taste better😊
Hubby and I were born in ‘84 and ‘87, he remembers a little from the 80’s and had his first freedom then at 4 and 5 by his mom giving him a pocket knife and him spending all day in the fields and woods around his house by himself and that is basically all of the 90’s went for him, until he started working and started driving at like 10.
I wasn’t given that type of freedom but I spent most of my childhood outside in the 90’s and don’t remember getting into trouble until my parents got cable when I was a teen and I became addicted to the TV and wouldn’t do my chores.
Neither of us got a flip phone until we graduated in 2003 and 2005 and it was basically because we were dating when he graduated and I moved away for college.
I was one of the few in my town to have my own computer or internet and that was because my parents built and repaired computers for a living and my mom was a web designer.
With our kids we are trying to let them have similar childhoods (though with more safety precautions for woods exploration). We have one family computer that my boys are currently only allowed to use for Night Zookeeper. They have access to our phones for videos that we watch with them. We don’t pay for TV and normal access hasn’t been available to us for 6 months since moving to our homestead. We do buy DVDs but have learned we have to limited it due to how the frequencies affect their behavior (their ADHD and emotional control gets drastically worse).
FYI, we also lived and traveled for work in a RV for 12 years. We still lived the same way, even when we were stuck in cities with only one vehicle. We played indoor games and went on daily walks.
Not unusual at all to go back mentally to where you learned to be a Mom! I go back to the 50's, so if you think the 90's were slower! Anyway it can be comforting as well as inspiring. Glorified rice was BIG in the 50's!
I was a 90s teen and the only thing I think my own kid has missed out from in that time is being bored. I love living here in the future and have no desire to go back 😅
The 90s were my favourite for the fact I married, had my two children and watched them grow. I’m old enough to wish we had less technology at times although I would not give up my mobile phone as I can stay connected to husband when he’s working on our farm and for emergencies
I was born in the late 80’s so grew up in the 90’s. I remember where I lived gas was under $1.00 a gallon until I was probably in middle school. I remember the adults complaining when gas hit a dollar 😆 I wore a lot of neon colors!
Can't wait to watch this!! Hope you and your family have a great weekend ☺️
They sell pool covers for that pool. It was about $15 last year. Saved me from having to clean it as often.
I remember the start of the 90's when mobile phones made their debut, along with the personal computer, and AOL that you had to dial up to get on.
I'm 29 so I definitely was in the later part of the nineties/early 2000s like you.
I definitely remember and appreciate the fact we didn't have barely any screens. We didn't have actual television really growing up other than discovery or PBS when we could get signal on the satellite 🤣
Otherwise it was VHS but even then my brother and I typically were outside from 9am till dark. We'd wait till 9am on the dot to call our neighbor friends on the landline to see if they were allowed to play. Lots of adventures around the creek and rural area of PA. My mom would have Family Life Radio playing in the evening so id listen to that with her in the kitchen.
Definitely was a more simple time but I believe we can still emulate that for our kids today to the best of our ability with a little work and patience. I have a 2 year old and I know it can be tempting to just maybe put on a show so you can get some cleaning done. So there definitely isn't judgement! But I think we could all benefit from the practice.
I was 6-16 in the '90's. I can remember my parents filling our minivan for just under 20 dollars. They could also could also feed our family of 6 fast food for about 25.l
We did have internet in the 90's megan
Clever idea for a video. 🙂
I was in my 20’s in the 90’s and working in a corporate job in WI. I had a bag phone in 1991 so I would feel comfortable driving three hours by myself to visit my parents when they were camping up north. I carried that bag phone into the grocery store a couple of times 😂. No email until later 90’s. I had to take special classes called Execu train to learn Microsoft Office for my job. Email was new. We didn’t have internet, they were called dummy terminals hooked up to a mainframe. Also got my first cordless phone and an answering machine in 1993. The 90’s were changing with technology, but definitely a lot more simple than today. I remember meeting high school homeschoolers back in the 90’s thinking how strange that was…ironically my two daughters graduated (class of 2022 and 23) from being homeschooled all the way through high school, so I am now a retired homeschool mom who is excitedly embracing homemaking and simplifying life a lot more (we even got away from traditional smartphones and are trying to return to simpler times again!). Love your content!
The couscous carnage! LoL! What a wonderful video, loved it!!!!
I had my 2nd son in 1991. I went back to work as a nurse when he was 5 weeks old. My older son was almost 5. I don't know how l did it all, yet l did. My youngest stayed at a sitter while my oldest was in preschool. I dropped both off then went to work by 6am. It was hard but l did it. I was an ICU nurse so it was crazy busy. I guess l was just more organized. The boys outfits were matched when l did laundry. And we had a 3 story old house with laundry in the basement. It's sweet memories though.
You should have served it with rice-a-roni and canned green beans🤣 too 90’s.
The year you were born my daughter graduated high school .
I always look forward to your videos! I don't remember the 90s.
But was still interesting to me!
Woe, you got some new cooking music at min5:55. Love it.
By 1990, I'd been teaching for 13 years, was married and had kids of my own. I guess I'm an old geezer. What I remember from my own growing up years are poodle skirts, party lines (the telephone kind), Patty Play Pal (a doll), Erector Sets, Barbie, the Monkees, Dr. Kildare, American Bandstand and there was no such thing as "fast food", at least not where we lived. I'm afraid the 90's are a blur.
I’m probably older then your Mom (1963) and my husband had a car phone in a bag in the early 90s . We raised our family with no cell phones so I prefer doing my housekeeping just with my own thoughts 😂. Not scary at all .Oh I LOVE cold sweet rice ! We ate it as dessert . I remember cutting marshmallows into fourths for my Mom , so apparently no mini marshmallows.
