Hello sentimentality! So nice to see you again.
I am the type who gets reminiscent when facing a life changing event. Only weeks away now from having another little girl, I again sit with my memory box, an old shoe box full of cards from family and friends, collected since I was a little girl myself.
Material things do not phase me like they do with others. However, memories and experiences...
Don't get me wrong, I love a designer purse. But if I had only $500, I'd rather spend it on a road trip with friends, or at a bed and breakfast with my husband. At the end of the day, it's really about how you fill in those waking hours, and not about what you have.
And at the end of a pregnancy, it feels wonderful to look back on the past, and knowing that I can share it with my children in the future.
Want to take a peek at my memory box? Here are a few that made me smile:
Cards from a loving husband.

| Very impressed that my husband has never failed to celebrate an important date. |

Kind words from friends.
 |
