My mother, sisters, and I loved opportunities to do special things together when we were growing up. Whenever the boys would go away for a camping trip, we’d get out our girl cups—fancy tea cups that were all unique and reflected our own personalities. Mine was pretty white china with a delicate pansy print that I’d received for my birthday one year. Usually we’d drink something non-tea-ish, such as punch, and celebrate our special bond as girls.
Do you have a girl cup tradition? Here are some more updated girl cups you might like if you’re thinking of starting this fun idea the next time your boys are away.

Where is my girl cup? Does Mom still have yours? I picked the ugly yellow one. What was I thinking? Anyway, it's always a fond memory and I hope to pass it on with Heidiheimer.
ReplyDeleteMom made me take mine YEARS ago. I've got it in my hope chest. When McKinley gets big enough for a girl cup I think I might like to update mine with a new one, too.
