By Jonna (mom of two, wife of one)<\/h4>\n

Both my daughters (7 & 11) grew-up on Care Bears<\/strong><\/a>; books, backpacks, lunch boxes, stuffed\/plastic dolls, trinkets and every DVD the company sold! So, it was pretty cool to take them to celebrate 35 years of caring and sharing.\u00a0The message is clear and a special way for young kidlets to learn those imperative concepts.<\/p>\n

Hundreds lined-up for a photo opportunity and hug from the bright carnation pink bear, Cheer Bear. The first 100 kids to arrive received a\u00a0Care Bears<\/strong><\/a> gift. There were plenty of celebrities on hand with their kids\/families making sure to publicly enforce the important idea of love, kindness and sharing, which I imagine is the\u00a0foundation we all want our next generation to spring up from.<\/p>\n

My girls had a wonderful time. It is a great reminder to have those little conversations about kindness, love, caring, thoughtfulness, etc. no matter what their age!!<\/p>\n

When I was younger I remember\u00a0watching and playing with\u00a0Care Bears<\/strong><\/a>. My favorite bears were\u00a0Love a Lot<\/i> and Cheer<\/i> – they are so happy and\u00a0have hearts and rainbows on them.\u00a0It was really great to see Cheer Bear<\/em> in person but she was so much bigger than I expected. I loved the bear donuts, they were so cute and yummy. The party was at Giggles N’ Hugs<\/strong><\/a> in the Topanga mall<\/strong><\/a> and I\u00a0loved playing in the playground and especially ball pit. At the end, they gave my sister and me a\u00a0Care Bears<\/strong><\/a> cup that I will drink all my favorite drinks in.<\/p>\n

I remember watching\u00a0Care Bears<\/strong><\/a> shows and movies\u00a0all the time when I was younger. My mom says I would watch the same ones over and over.\u00a0It reminded me to share my toys and care about other peoples’ feelings. I’ve forgotten all about\u00a0Care Bears<\/strong><\/a> and so that’s probably why I have sometimes\u00a0been acting so bratty now.\u00a0Care Bears<\/strong><\/a> really helped (and helps) me\u00a0sort out my anger. My mom used to call me ‘Grumpy Bear’ when I was being mean. Thank you Care Bears!<\/p>\n

The 35th Anniversary of\u00a0Care Bears<\/strong><\/a> was at my favorite mall, Topanga. They had everything from delicious donuts to healthy salads. It was yummy and a lot of fun!<\/p>\n

A lot of celebrities such as Mario Lopez was there. The celebs were all so nice in person! His daughter is in 1st grade and my sister is in 2nd grade, they should have a play date!<\/p>\n

Thank you Westside Mommy<\/em> for sending my to cover this cool event and remind me about caring and sharing \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
