It was harder than I thought to come up with something to call an "heirloom" -- lots of old things handed down from both mine and my husband's families -- but I don't know the history of many of those "things". I am pretty sure my daughter isn't going to want to keep any of these "things" when I'm gone -- she just isn't attached to stuff that way.
fun challenge and something i would never have done if i wasnt challenged but i think it is important to have photos and stories behind the things you have
