I am older than the BSC, but not by too much! Not old enough to remember anything from 1986 at least! I was fortunate to be able to join the BSC fan club as a kid (I was a member in 1994 and 1995 for sure, don't remember if I'd joined in '93 also or not) and I remember having a lot of the merchandise: dolls, board games, video club subscription, and I definitely used the postcard book one year at summer camp! Good memories of the BSC; I've been doing a lot of BSC reading recently, they take me back to a simpler time in my life.
Happy birthday, Baby-Sitters Club...may you have a happy 25 years more!

^Sheep are in. www.etsy.com/shop/kiwifruitdesigns Second row all the way to the right. But then I think snowmen are, too. The link is too long so "Google" snowman sweatshirt. I have a comforter with snowmen on it.

Sheep ARE in! Well, sheep socks are, anyway!
Happy Birthday BSC, we're the same age! Well, I'm a few months older. Didn't start reading them until 1993 or so and someone else said, although they were popular here, they were never as popular as elsewhere.
Starrynight and I are going to Pizza Express next week, we can have a pizza toast!

I'm older, by enough that I do have memories from 1986. Early 1986, too, as I recall the Challenger. But hey, I'm 29!

I'm much older and definitely remember 1986 and the Challenger. My Grandpa was friends/co-workers with one of the astronaut's sisters. It was very sad. I (don't really remember but know we did) watched it on tv at school.

Happy Birthday to the Baby Sitters Club! Afton was 4 in 1986 and I remember she was playing with a friend and we watched the challenger on TV.

^I was a very young toddler sitting on my mom's lap when the Challenger exploded on TV. I obviously don't remember it, but I did ask Mom about it later.

Happy birthday BSC. Thanks for all the great memories and playing such a big role in my childhood. Wow man now I feel even older - Happy Birthday BSC! Thanks for being a part of my life! I know right, it's like you don't need to remind me that I am turning 30 in two and a half years from now.

We're starting to be close to the ages of the parents, or older than some of the parents.
