Im Half a Hoarder at Heart

(September)

There is something about antiques and heirlooms that tug at my heart strings.  Perhaps its the history and sentiment of it and maybe even a little bit that I love the way they look- BUT when its an antique that once belonged to someone I love I suddenly become extremely attached to it. 

In September, while in Utah, I decided to have Myra try on some old dresses that belonged to my mom when she was little... She ran around the backyard in them sniffing flowers and giggling and I could picture my mom as a young child with her bright blonde hair, infectious smile and curiosity toddling around in those outfits as well.

I hope that I pass my crazy sentimental heart along to at least one of my children... Not enough to be a hoarder, but just enough that they will keep, cherish, and pass to their children the things that made my heart sing in life.

    I absolutely love classic dresses! I found my little girl a bunch at a yard sale this last summer and I had so much fun putting her in them! They are just so timeless and beautiful. Myra looks so pretty. :)

    Ohhh my goodness, that sentimental gene must be a White thing because I have it too! Now I just need to get a sense for beauty and design like you have. :) Myra is so precious in those dresses! And I always love your parents' backyard. Just the other day I was trying to describe it to Sam and concluded that we need to have a family gathering there sometime so he can see it! My boys got an antique teeter totter for Christmas just like the one I remember playing on at your house--it was the funnest thing ever for me and they LOVE theirs now, too! Sharing childhood memories with your own kids is one of the greatest things. Love you!

    Ahhh! Hailey, I am so happy to see these pictures :) Thanks for being just sentimental enough to be you! I think you have the perfect amount. It makes you tender, creative, thoughtful, and all those good things. I don't thinkt you will be a hoarder. I just got done telling daddy that I never want any of you kids to feel that you need to keep any of my things once I am gone just because of guilty sentiment. Only keep what you truly love because it brings joy to your life. Once it adds weight and clutter, take a picture for the memory, then donate it or throw it out and live for today!

    I love you and your family so much! Three more days!!!
