Many of my favorite childhood movies don’t resonate quite the same with my kids as they did with me.
What’s more, many of the movies I watched as a kid make me wonder if parents in the 1980s and 1990s paid much attention to what their kids were watching at all. Things have definitely changed since 1991 when my friend Justin and I rode our bikes to a theater and were allowed to go in and watch the R-rated “Terminator II: Judgment Day” at the ripe age of 12 … without an adult.
My boys are now 10 and almost 8. We as a family are beginning to wade outside of the “little kid” movie pool. While my boys won’t be seeing a Terminator movie any time soon, we are checking out a lot of classic movies that my wife and I watched and loved when we were children.

A Cool Girl's Bedroom
WHEN DESIGNER JACY PAINTER KELLY, owner of Jacy Painter Kelly Interiors, took her family to New York City last summer, her 10-year-old daughter Lucy went crazy for the cool urban vibe of their downtown hotel room. It gave Lucy the itch to makeover her own bedroom in their Fort Mill home. She wanted more mature accents like silver wall sconces and velvet pillows, paired with punk rock elements like a graffiti-inspired bed frame and pink neon sign. Luckily her designer mom knew exactly how to tie it all together.
