I have some ticket stubs to important events &amp; cards from a few birthdays with special handwritten notes. Otherwise I pitch it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sentimental#post-1029872 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 17:21:18 +0000 sunny 1029872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Extremely. I'm kind of a hoarder. I have a hard time giving up my "stuff" and its a bit of a problem! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sentimental#post-1029790 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 16:29:27 +0000 LuLu Mom 1029790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I keep LOs stuff but not my own. I used to keep stuff &amp; would end up throwing it away later when I deep cleaned...now I save myself the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sentimental#post-1029758 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 16:09:10 +0000 Cherrybee 1029758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel sentimental... but I don't think I am in practice. Like you, my wedding dress has just been shoved, uncleaned, into a box in the loft. A few days ago my friend, whose baby is a week younger than mine, posted on FB that she cried while putting her baby's umbilical cord peg in his keepsake box. I dropped E's into a nappy bag full of poop and into the wheelie bin. Oops. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sentimental#post-1029739 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 16:02:08 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1029739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Extremely. But it depends on what it is. With my wedding dress, I couldn't care less, but an antique hanky we used to store our rings during the ceremony, I'll cherish. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sentimental#post-1029687 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 15:37:15 +0000 artsyfartsy 1029687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I call myself the anti-hoarder! My favorite phrase is THROW IT OUT! My house is so anti clutter. I love it.</p> <p>I'm sentimental about some things...I kept one of each item from our wedding and I keep nice things we get from our disney world trips. But as long as I have a place to put them they're okay. Otherwise toss it. I'll most likely forget I had it anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sentimental#post-1029628 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 15:18:24 +0000 MrsH 1029628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About some things. My wedding dress is dirty and hanging in a closet someplace so not to sentimental about that one ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sentimental#post-1029591 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 15:09:23 +0000 MrsBrewer 1029591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: You know, not that I think about it I'm the same way! If I have pictures from the event (a trip, or race for example) I'm fine with pitching the actual tickets or whatever it is that I'm thinking about keeping! Pictures are priceless! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sentimental#post-1029585 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 15:04:38 +0000 heffalump 1029585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends on what the thing is. I don't want a lot of crap around the house so I'm more likely to take a picture of these things then to keep the actual thing. I did preserve my wedding dress though in hopes that LO will want to use some of the lace. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sentimental#post-1029583 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 15:03:43 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1029583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No!</p> <p>My OCD about cleanliness and organization prevents it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sentimental#post-1029581 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 15:03:21 +0000 lovehoneybee 1029581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lol my wedding dress is in a box, unwashed...</p> <p>I used to be one of those "save tickets, etc" people, but I've gotten a lot better about it. I do save things that are very sentimental...like our tickets to Longwood Gardens, when DH proposed, and DS's hospital bracelet (and the outfit we brought him home in, all bagged and stored) but not every day things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sentimental#post-1029579 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 15:02:32 +0000 Sunshine1810 1029579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am sentimental, and I struggle with it because I also HATE clutter! My first instinct is to keep something like a ticket stub of a great game that I went to or some other momento, but then I end up throwing it out because I don't want the clutter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sentimental#post-1029577 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 15:02:15 +0000 Freckles 1029577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have all of my race bibs, but they're just in a box somewhere. Seriously, less clutter is always better!!</p> <p>I'm sentimental, but it doesn't prevent me from chucking stuff. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sentimental#post-1029564 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 14:58:38 +0000 MrsBrewer 1029564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not. </p> <p>I wish I was! But for me, items are just "stuff" to me. I thought about this from the other thread about your wedding dress. My wedding dress is still at my mom's house in a big pile. I didn't get it cleaned, and truthfully I wouldn't be one bit upset if I sold it tomorrow!</p> <p>I know a lot of people keep tickets and whatnot. Nope not me. DH and I just completed our first 5k, and he asked if I wanted our bibs and wrist bands? My response? Nope! toss them! I wish I was more sentimental, but really I hate clutter, the more stuff I can get rid of/toss the better!</p> <p>I think I need to work on it though, and start keeping a few more things though that may carry some sort of memory. </p> <p>What about you? Are you sentimental? </p>
