Hot Mess Moms

Episode Summary:   Family heirlooms may not mean what they once did. But wanting to cherish antique pieces of your families history, is far from a new desire. The biggest change in the idea of what to do with family heirlooms comes in the form of what we decide to do with those heirlooms. This week Dawn gives a little detail about how she is tackling this issue in her house. Dawn has her mom's old cedar chest that was built in the early 1940's. Though she isn't sure of its exact origin (meaning was it passed down to her mom or purchased second hand), she can remember it always being in her parent's bedroom. Now that both of Dawn's parents have passed she has been thinking about what to exactly DO with this family heirloom.
