If your house was in flames, what would you take with you? Have you ever taken the time to really think about it? I stumbled upon this
place a few days ago and have been thinking about it non-stop. I love the variety and similarities in responses...what's sentimetal, practical and valuable to you?

ReplyDeleteI love this post. When we had the fires a few years ago I was the first of my neighbors to awake in the middle of the night only to see our back yard on fire. In a complete panic I woke my husband put on my fave pants, grabbed a wedding picture and family picture and ran through the neighborhood trying to wake people. I really need to put together a list of what I should take for next time. (It's SoCal...there will be a next time.)
ReplyDeleteJenny! Oh my gosh! Hahaha...I was like that little baby looks like Stella and it is! I found that site the other day too and LOVE it. So hard to choose what I would bring. Obviously Mila, Matt and Gorbie. But as far as other objects...my grandparents wedding photo, my stuffed bear, my laptop, my red coat from New Zealand and one of the first love letters that Matt wrote me. I love your blog! :)
