I absolutely loved this movie growing up, and it hadn’t lost any of its luster now that I’m older. The is definitely one to watch with your girls.

One of the most heartbreaking movies of my childhood. Our kids will never understand the PTSD when someone says there’s a bee’s ground nest.
My Girl [DVD] [1992]
One of our favorite movies growing up. Tom Hanks makes a wish to be big and his wish is granted. As an adult it makes you appreciate what you had during your childhood.

I think we had this movie on repeat in our house growing up. The perfect 80’s movie! And actually kid friendly too.
