I won't be passing on my blanket, I don't think it would stand up, but I'll pass down the stuffed animals &amp; the figurines for sure. And lord only knows what my mom has squirreled away, ha! I've got to admit, I am kind of looking forward to the nostalgia, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-do-you-still-have-things-from-your-childhood#post-46073 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 11:32:09 +0000 twodoghouse 46073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a lot of books from when I was little and all the Christmas ornaments I was given/made myself in school. Last spring, my mother-in-law gave us some beautifully framed pieces of "art" my husband made when he was a kid. Um, thanks?</p> <p>My parents have a ton of stuff saved from when all four of us kids were little (books, dolls, notebooks I wrote in, etc.), but they live in Texas and I live in Illinois, so it comes to us in bits and pieces when they're making a trip up and have extra room! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-do-you-still-have-things-from-your-childhood#post-45975 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 09:38:36 +0000 mrswin 45975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At my parents house is my baby book, a blanket that I used to take everywhere with me and a few things from school (elementary and high school). I donated most of my dresses a couple of years ago to a program that provides girls in low income families with prom dresses at no cost. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-do-you-still-have-things-from-your-childhood#post-45948 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 09:09:50 +0000 sorrycharlie 45948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom saved all the school-art stuff and toys. I have t baby blankets at home (my blankies!), and just recently took several boxes of my childhood books and a handful of treasured stuffed animals. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-do-you-still-have-things-from-your-childhood#post-45909 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 02:54:29 +0000 808love 45909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really, except my baby blanket and pictures. We moved around a lot when I was younger. Hubby has a baby spoon that looks like it's never been used. He refused to let me use it on our babe b/c he thought it had lead or something. He also has a crazy dangerous rocking horse with rusty springs. I don't think anyone should ever use that again. </p> <p>Weird as it may seem, I wished my mom saved papers/art/school projects. Oh and the toys. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-do-you-still-have-things-from-your-childhood#post-45780 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 19:13:12 +0000 MsMamaBear 45780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is that apple big, like sit it on the floor big?</p> <p>I have a turtle I got for my 1st Christmas. I'm 30, so it's quite old.LOL I saved it for my daughter. It's big enough for a 1yr old to sit on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-do-you-still-have-things-from-your-childhood#post-45710 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 16:48:24 +0000 heffalump 45710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have quite a few things. Mostly in my parents storage. When I was pregnant my dad found all sorts of things in storage, like an old wooden toy crib and dolls. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-do-you-still-have-things-from-your-childhood#post-45695 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 16:26:43 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 45695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a box of books, a couple baby blankets, one stuffed animal, and one or two baby dresses. They are all in the closet in the future nursery. I'm going to try to incorporate some of it into the nursery when we get pregnant. I know that I want to keep all of the books, but I'm not sure about the rest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-do-you-still-have-things-from-your-childhood#post-45678 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 16:09:45 +0000 Rescuemom10 45678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents came out to visit us for Thanksgiving. She brought ALL my prom and formal dresses with. Back home there is def a box or three of stuff from childhood, toys and what not. Just a few of my stuffed animals, and a few other random things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-do-you-still-have-things-from-your-childhood#post-45669 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 15:51:56 +0000 DillonLion 45669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really. My mom had no interest in saving that stuff and I only kept a few things from high school. Not much else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-do-you-still-have-things-from-your-childhood#post-45667 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 15:50:57 +0000 mrsjyw 45667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think my parents have some random things, but I don't have anything in our house. DH has a lot of stuff from when he was a kid (only child), ILs kept everything and transported a lot of his stuff (toys, high chair, etc.) to our basement when we moved in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-do-you-still-have-things-from-your-childhood#post-45658 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 15:38:55 +0000 Rubies 45658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am so sad that I don't have a single thing from my childhood or even high school. I decided that I will save things for my LO for when she grows up. My in-laws bought a newspaper the day LO was born and I'm keeping it tucked away wrapped and safe to show LO what was going on in the world when she is much older. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-do-you-still-have-things-from-your-childhood#post-45657 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 15:38:38 +0000 Mrs. Bee 45657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nope nothing but pictures. i wonder how much i'll save of charlie and olive's because i'm a purger. you have to be to live in ny! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-do-you-still-have-things-from-your-childhood#post-45614 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 15:04:34 +0000 skibobrown 45614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom is incapable of getting rid of anything, so I suspect that a ton of my childhood toys and clothes are still sitting around the house. I'll be home later this month for our baby shower, so I'm going to take that opportunity to rescue some of the things that might now be useful for our baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-do-you-still-have-things-from-your-childhood#post-45609 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 14:57:34 +0000 prettylizy 45609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I currently have my old cabbage patch doll sleeping in our LO's crib until s/he arrives. I take it out once in a while to show the dogs and tell them to be gentle with the baby. My mom also just told me that she has (accidentally) tracked down the big blue pram she had for my sister and I when we were babies. I can't wait to see it, I hope it's still in decent shape. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-do-you-still-have-things-from-your-childhood#post-45608 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 14:57:11 +0000 polkadots 45608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jessiejo17: Ha this was exactly what I was going to reply. my parents are always trying to get me to take my keepsakes box... but I always tell them I'll just throw it away if they give it to me now since we don't have much storage at our house. So they just keep it.. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-do-you-still-have-things-from-your-childhood#post-45604 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 14:54:57 +0000 LuLu Mom 45604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents have my tub at their house still, however htey have been trying to get me to take it for awhile. Mostly of elementary school projects, HS awards, that kind of thing. Not so much toys however I wish they would have kept some of my dolls/ect. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-do-you-still-have-things-from-your-childhood#post-45597 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 14:48:00 +0000 mediagirl 45597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband and I both have a tub of items from our childhood. I kept a couple of Cabbage Patch Kids, my Shirley Temple doll, an apple that is sort of like a rattle except it has a bell in it and some jackets from high school and college. I also saved all of my prom and homecoming dresses. </p> <p>Do you have anything from your childhood? </p>
