My best "Keepsakes" for my children!!

 I love being organized and clutter-free, I am also a very sentimental person. I do like to treasure things that bring happy memories of years past. ​It all started when I got pregnant with my eldest...a semi obsession of leaving him something from me...notes, messages, memories anything that once he is old enough I can hand it down to him and he will be enjoy and understand how much I loved him....How much I was eager for him..and how much his presence in my life have fulfilled me....

And that's how my journey to keep and save keepsakes for my children started.....

Choosing what to KEEP and SAVE!!

It’s a big question. What will you keep for your children as they grow older?
What toys and personal mementos are they going to want to remember and look through later? What will they treasure as adults?
​
1 of the easiest and best ways to start was:

Setting up a baby book for each child and keeping up with it as your little one reached each milestones, and trying to complete it before you forgot everything that happened. .

For me, my baby book is a real treasure. I love reading it and looking at each picture with the comments on the side!! I have to admit, for some reason, I was more dedicated, focused and committed to my eldest "Precious Memories Book" than I was for my 2nd angel :( yet...I did manage to fill as much pages off her book as possible...printed out some photos....


I can't wait to share their books with them!! I'm sure they will certainly love to know the details of their births, as they get older, especially when it’s time for them to have kids of their own.

It is only logical that everything I did for my eldest, we did it again for my 2nd :)

Last but not least...My faviourte most cherished and valuable keepsake of all!!! On their 1st birthday I did a foot and hand impression for each, framed for lifetime!! In each box, I picked certain 1st used or loved items that I wanted to save for them....(1st baby picture at the hospital - 1st echo - birth certificate - baby hospital hat - hospital ID bracelets - 1st mitten and socks....)

School Memories keepsakes...

Following my previous post, Your Kid's Art.... memories to be stored!

I decided to continue saving as much memories for my kids as I possibly can....I don't know how much I will be able to go on with this obsession, this hobby, this need to leave a trace of all the amazing memories we are sharing and experiencing together in our lovely crazy journey!!! YET, I know whatever I will be able to give to my kids once they are all grown up and mature they will love and cherish :)
​or so I pray and hope!!
