The I'm Remembering Tumblr blog is a cute way to reminisce about your youth.
Hillary Buckholtz, who is behind the Tumblr blog, describes it as "Pop-Culture Nostalgery From The 80s & Early 90s. [...] These are the corners of my mind." The blog includes photos of bad haircuts, ugly dolls, and infamous pop culture franchises such as R.L. Stine's Goosebumps series and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
The I'm Remembering Tumblr can easily cause viewers to choke up as they think about their old toys and memories.
