On Friday, May⁤ 26, ‍2023, HGTV star⁢ Erin Napier delighted ​her Instagram followers‌ with a heartwarming snapshot of her two daughters, Helen (5) and⁣ Mae ⁢(2). The ⁤photo‍ captured a tender moment between the sisters as they continue to grow closer​ and strengthen their bond.

In the‌ image, Helen is seen dressed in an elegant white and silver tutu adorned with delicate feathers. She lovingly ​drapes her arm around Mae as they ⁢both watch a group of ballet dancers ‌performing on stage. The scene beautifully encapsulates the growing connection ⁣between the siblings.

Erin, ‌who is 37 years old, accompanied the post ‌with a touching caption:⁣ “All of a sudden, they’re becoming a team. Mae was cheering from the⁣ front row while Helen stood on stage under the spotlight,⁢ smiling and waving at‍ her baby sister‌ who called out ‌excitedly, ‘HEY SISSY!’”

She continued by sharing ‌an intimate moment‍ between her daughters: “As they ‌watched ⁢younger ballerinas rehearse, Helen leaned over to whisper⁤ to Mae, ‘You can be up there one day.’ ⁣It’s ⁢truly amazing to witness siblings turning into friends.”

The post resonated deeply with Erin’s ‍followers ‍who were quick to express their joy ​in seeing ‍such close ​sibling bonding. One fan commented simply but sweetly:​ “This is the sweetest!”

Another follower shared⁢ their⁣ own experience: “This is ⁤lovely. I’m also named Helen & ⁢my ‌little sister ⁣still calls me sissy—she’s ⁢absolutely my ‌best friend.” ⁢

A third commenter ⁣reflected on how these moments will evolve over‍ time: “The most interesting ‍and beautiful journey‌ in life… just ⁣wait until they’re older—one will be running for ice ​after an ‌accident while trying not to spill ​it all before getting it onto sissy’s forehead.”

Notably absent from⁢ Erin’s posts are any direct images of her daughters’‌ faces—a deliberate⁤ choice ​she makes when sharing family moments⁢ online. The “Home ⁤Town”⁢ star ⁤has been open‌ about protecting her children’s‌ privacy and has‍ also expressed that she won’t be giving them​ smartphones anytime⁣ soon.

In fact, back in 2022 via another Instagram post [link], Erin emphasized how fleeting childhood can be: “Children grow up so fast; we’re going to cherish every last second⁤ we have with ‌our girls.” She invited others who share⁢ similar sentiments or have had⁤ success ​in⁤ this approach‌ to share ‌their ​experiences.

Erin and her husband Ben have also ​been ​candid about their parenting philosophy beyond social media boundaries. They’ve spoken⁢ publicly about limiting holiday gifts for their children—a practice rooted‍ in mindfulness‍ rather ⁢than materialism. In December 2022 during ‌an ‍interview with Yahoo Life ⁤ [link], Erin explained that each⁢ child⁢ receives four gifts ‍following this simple‍ guideline: something they​ want; something they need; something​ to ⁢wear; something to ⁢read.

She ⁣further elaborated on why Santa brings ‍only modest gifts at Christmas time: “We want our kids—and ‍others—to focus less on what Santa brings because I’ve read stories where⁤ some children ⁣feel unloved ‍if Santa doesn’t⁢ bring them​ extravagant presents like he does for⁣ others.”

By ​making these conscious⁤ choices as parents—from gift-giving traditions ⁤down through everyday⁢ interactions—Erin hopes ⁣not only nurture strong bonds within their family but also instill values ⁤that extend far beyond material possessions.
