Today was probably the easiest collection of sentimental items I’ll go through this week.
I have a giant tub that I’ve been randomly throwing kids’ sentimental things into for… apparently two decades. I’ve also kept kids’ memorabilia randomly throughout the house in other places.
My kids are getting to the age that I can potentially… possibly… maybe see them flying the nest. Someday. I never want to suffocate them with inherited clutter, but I would like to be able to offer them each a box of some of their own memorabilia to choose what they’d like to keep. So… I took some time today to gather children’s papers from various spots around my house, combine the piles and separate the items into separate bins for each child.
It was so much fun looking through the all the memories and laughing with my kids at old art work and stories.
It was also a great workout to build up my muscles to face pictures, and the rest of my sentimental items for the remainder of this week.
