The Sisterhood of the Traveling Dresses.

My cousin JoAnn sent this dress to Daila a little while back. Her adorable daughter Jayden wore it and I couldn't wait until Daila could fit into it! Well Daila seemed to love it, and even picked out a couple of accessories to go with.

Passing down dresses in my family is seemingly significant as of lately for a couple of different reasons. This particular dress was actually picked out for Jayden by JoAnn and her mother Candy (my moms sister) not long before she passed away. Sadly Daila and Kai never got to meet her however now Daila can have something that Candy did have an influence on, and whenever she wears it I think about what a wonderful person Candy was. I can't wait to tell Daila and Kai all about her someday.

Another dress tradition that my mom started is to give a family member who is thinking of conceiving a dress to hang in their closet to bring good luck and baby ju-ju... My mom did it years ago for my Aunt Kim, and not 2 months later she was pregnant. Well, I recently sent off one of Daila's dresses to a cousin, so now we're all crossing our fingers for her :)
