I have a box of high school mementos - notes, pictures, movie stubs- ha! And another box of me and DH's dating/engagement memorabilia (movie stubs, matchboxes from restaurants, letters, etc).<br /> I also have a box of sheet music because I played piano and violin. I don't want to get rid of it though cause I still very occasionally play. </p> <p>And don't get me started on some of the clothing items I haven't been able to get rid of... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-things-in-your-house-you-never-use-or-look-at-but-dont-really-want-to-throw-away#post-2334226 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 14:51:55 +0000 mrs. wagon 2334226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We each have a box where we keep sentimental things... old journals, knicknacks from college, childhood toys, framed photos. If it doesn't fit in the box, it goes!</p> <p>ETA: that being said, our actual house is full of junk we NEED to throw away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-things-in-your-house-you-never-use-or-look-at-but-dont-really-want-to-throw-away#post-2334217 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 14:46:16 +0000 daniellemybelle 2334217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think everyone does. I'm not a packrat by any means but I do think some things hold sentimental value. My mom saved some childhood items of mine that I am so happy to be able to share with LO, even though they spent 20+ years in storage. I loved looking at my parents' high school yearbooks and things like that! The sentimental side of me hopes you will save some momentos for Olive and Charlie! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-things-in-your-house-you-never-use-or-look-at-but-dont-really-want-to-throw-away#post-2333299 Sun, 25 Oct 2015 20:57:14 +0000 Mama Bird 2333299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but it's all stuff I intend to use eventually. Like my old children's books that sit on a shelf somewhere until the kids can read them, camping stuff, figure skates... the sort of thing you can't easily find again if you get rid of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-things-in-your-house-you-never-use-or-look-at-but-dont-really-want-to-throw-away#post-2333216 Sun, 25 Oct 2015 19:32:57 +0000 autumnlove 2333216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Almost everything that is crammed into our spare room/office! Books, gadgets, clothes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-things-in-your-house-you-never-use-or-look-at-but-dont-really-want-to-throw-away#post-2333203 Sun, 25 Oct 2015 19:13:40 +0000 Foodnerd81 2333203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Doesn't everyone?? My high school prom dresses are still in my closet at my parents house- my daughters can play with them one day. </p> <p>Living in a condo though, we do try not to hang on to too many things like that. For us our problem is more, well we might use that / need that some day... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-things-in-your-house-you-never-use-or-look-at-but-dont-really-want-to-throw-away#post-2333174 Sun, 25 Oct 2015 18:30:44 +0000 SleepyMonkey 2333174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>College textbooks/notes, certain clothes/accessories, lots of toys. We are pack rats. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-things-in-your-house-you-never-use-or-look-at-but-dont-really-want-to-throw-away#post-2333135 Sun, 25 Oct 2015 17:47:06 +0000 mrbee 2333135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Going through my stuff now, and I have tons of piano scores that I spent a lot of college learning and practicing. I marked up the scores in pencil, and looking at them brings me so many memories! But I never ever look at them and so I am going to donate them.</p> <p>Are there things in your house you never use or look at, but don't really want to throw away? </p>
