Throwback Thursday: The Baby-Sitters Club

Since my website is about staying inspired and enjoying the journey, I thought I’d take Thursday’s to reminisce a bit…to look back on the things that I loved and that helped me enjoy my journey thus far…

 

OK, I maybe outing myself here on age, but I was in love with the Baby-sitter’s club growing up.
My entrepreneurial spirit encouraged me to start a babysitters club (several times!) and my neighbor was a member. We’d have meetings and everything. We even had a client! (I recall the baby I watched threw up on me! I had to get my parents to help out…)

 

In any case, I loved those books and I could devour a super series in an afternoon.  I was dumbfounded when I found out a few years ago that they were out of print. ( I ran to ebay buying up everything I could).

 

I was an African American dancer like Jessie, I was ambitious (I refuse to say bossy!) like Kristy, but I wanted to be quiet and shy like Mary Anne–so she was my favorite character.

 

Take a look at how a fellow babysitters club lover put together collages of the members. (she did a fab job!)  Enjoy!

    I totally remember the Baby-Sitter’s Club! I had so many of their books. I can’t say who I really thought I was like of the characters. But of those outfits, I love Stacy’s (a great night out dress) Jessi’s (cute for lunch with friends) , and Mallory’s (for looking cute while running around the town).
