How I wish my mom kept every piece of memorabilia from my childhood, just the important things like class pictures, report cards (I've got good ones so it is worth keeping - ha ha), birthday cards and even birth announcements. It would've been nice to have those now that I have kids of my own. For my kids, I am proud to say that I have kept some memorabilia from the time I was pregnant. I bought plastic bins of different colors and this is where I have all their keepsakes. I know they will appreciate me doing it for them when they're all grown up.
