Mary Poppins 50th Anniversary
Is there anyone out there that didn’t want Julie Andrews as their nanny? What I would’ve given to have a babysitter like her instead of my pesky older siblings bossing me around {just kidding, siblings, you know I love you even though you can’t fly with umbrellas or make up well-orchestrated songs for our menial day-to-day tasks}.

Even though my days of wishing I had Mary Poppins as my nanny are long gone, my love for the film has never dimmed. Of course I was thrilled when I heard that in honor of its 50th anniversary, the classic Disney film Mary Poppins was going to be released on Blu-ray this year.

As much as I couldn’t wait to watch it myself, I was thrilled I could finally introduce my children to one of my favorite childhood films. While I love all the new films and the vibrant characters that Disney has brought to life in the past few years, I am also very excited about sharing the classic films with them, and this seemed like as good a time as any.

Just as I when I was young, within moments of popping in the disc I was transported back in time. Soon I was laughing along with my kids while watching Dick Van Dyke and Julie Andrews as well as singing along to “A Spoonful of Sugar” and “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious”, which was met with bewildered stares from my son and “again, again!” from my daughter.
