When I had my 1st baby my sister gave me a baby book with envelopes for keeping mementoes for the first 5 years including birthday cards. So I started then and am still going. Each of the children have a large cardboard box in the loft that we add cards to, special pictures from school, pottery ornaments that they have made, xmas decorations we have slaved over, school books are added now they are older (I have some of mine and i love looking back at them), newspapers they are mentioned in, certificates, school reports etc etc. I think they are lovely to rummage back through and see how they have changed. I promised them once that I will give them each their box when they are 21 but i may keep them and make them come to me to look through them :-))) DH says it's a good job we stopped at 5 as we will have no room in the loft soon :-)) Donna Mum to (17) Kimberley(16), Kayleigh(14), (11), Kara (4) [homebirth at last] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
