Fun Site: The Burning House


Have you seen this site, The Burning House? If your house was burning, what would you take with you? Although in reality it is a scary thought, it is also a good question and one I'm sure we've all pondered now and again.  It's a conflict between what's practical, valuable and sentimental. What you would take reflects your interests, background and priorities. Click here to see more and read about the people profiled and what they would take.  (Via Free People).

This precaution thought was with me all the time when I was young, the thought scared me too much.. I'd have my best things packed up just in case.. :(

What an awful thing to have happen, I wish it upon no one.

If my house was burning, I would take my husband + kids. Everything else can be replaced. I actually lost my home to a fire as a teen, and we took nothing, but ourselves out of the home. The truth is, unless you have what you want to take sitting in a box by the door, you won't have time to go grab it anyways.

I am familiar with "Burning Down the House," and I think it's fabulous. It's interesting to see what people chose to save, and gives insight into what is important to them and who they are.

Such a great site - love this idea, scary as it may be. ;) I know exactly what I would take! I think I spend too much time making that mental list.

I am scared to death of this for real but this seems so light hearted

Well if i could keep my kitties and baby in a box to grab...but I think that is frowned upon...um I would just have to hope for the best :0
