DH held on to a pillow his mom made for him. We gave it to DS, and it's too small for him now but he won't sleep without it :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-stuff-from-childhood-did-you-hold-onto#post-2062293 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 10:46:46 +0000 MediaNaranja 2062293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dad built me a beautiful doll house for Christmas one year, and it's still being stored in my parents' storage room waiting for when we have a child :)</p> <p>I am pretty sure there are some other things stored there as well--my mom made me a few really cute dresses that I'm sure she didn't have the heart to give away. I also got a porcelain doll each year until I was 12 or so and I know those are packed away somewhere, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-stuff-from-childhood-did-you-hold-onto#post-2062146 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 09:36:49 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2062146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I kept school work, grades, and placement tests; and some art that I created. I also have a bunch of greeting cards from childhood that I tied with my favorite fun shoe laces. </p> <p>My mom has other stuff at her house like dolls, blankets, and Halloween costumes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-stuff-from-childhood-did-you-hold-onto#post-2062131 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 09:29:51 +0000 stiletto_mom 2062131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only recently threw away my pillow. It was 25 years old and really gross. No doubt there was mildew and mold in it. But I had it since birth.</p> <p>From childhood, I still have some stuff animals and pictures I drew. Report cards from school as well as photos. </p> <p>Hubby still have his childhood trophies, awards and a few toys. Our families are pretty sentimental.</p> <p>Though I really wish my parents had kept my doll. They threw it away when I left for college. =( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-stuff-from-childhood-did-you-hold-onto#post-2062125 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 09:26:20 +0000 LuLu Mom 2062125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents have a tote that has all my artwork, achievements, ect. in it but I have none of it at my house. I'm not sentimental so I would probably throw it out. I'm really working on keeping DD's stuff in a tote like my mom did. Doesn't take a lot of room and it's organized (two biggies for me!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-stuff-from-childhood-did-you-hold-onto#post-2061981 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 08:23:00 +0000 Mamaof2 2061981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I donated a bunch of toys my mom saved.</p> <p>I have some Teen Beat magazines, high school yearbooks, a stuffed animal from toddler years, me and BFF's journal from 8th grade, some old letters, my diary from high school, and some scrapbboks (senior year and college days) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-stuff-from-childhood-did-you-hold-onto#post-2061958 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 08:05:34 +0000 ValentineMommy 2061958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Way too much. Like, everything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-stuff-from-childhood-did-you-hold-onto#post-2061954 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 08:00:18 +0000 chopsuey 2061954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a clay handprint from Kindergarten. That's about it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-stuff-from-childhood-did-you-hold-onto#post-2061952 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 07:59:24 +0000 MamaChin 2061952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm going through my stuff right now as we've just listed out house, so hard to throw out stuff!! I kept all photos and threw away useless papers (elementary school diploma, honor roll certificates). Kept notes from friends (when MASH has you marrying your crush) and threw away old Christmas cards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-stuff-from-childhood-did-you-hold-onto#post-2061928 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 07:20:10 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 2061928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents hung on to my my little ponys &amp; my baby sitters club books. They're in their attic, and my mom just got down my ponys. </p> <p>I'm pretty sure they have my brothers ninja turtles from the 90s &amp; I know they have my sisters Polly pocket because Chloe already plays with that. :silly: </p> <p>My nana saved a lot. I have my dads artwork from kindergarten. I don't know what to do with it, though, other than store it!</p> <p>These are two of my ponys that we gave Chloe!</p> <p>[attach=1772/15/njk29n.337x600.image.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-stuff-from-childhood-did-you-hold-onto#post-2061906 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 03:42:14 +0000 lamariniere 2061906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>From childhood, not much. </p> <p>From university and photo school, much of my photo archives. I have thousands of slides, negatives and old prints at his place that I need to somehow get to me someday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-stuff-from-childhood-did-you-hold-onto#post-2061903 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 03:08:21 +0000 yin 2061903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents didn't save anything from my childhood, which makes me a little sad. I'm saving so much for my kids that I need to figure out a better system of knowing what to save and what to toss. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-stuff-from-childhood-did-you-hold-onto#post-2061869 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 00:04:38 +0000 youboots 2061869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents kept several items for me. Lots of photo albums, my favorite stuffed animals, lots of paper items from elementary school. A few clothing items. I have about 4-5 large boxes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-stuff-from-childhood-did-you-hold-onto#post-2061866 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 00:01:24 +0000 mrbee 2061866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wonder about this often now that I have kids, and we're accumulating so many things that they've made for us over the past few years.</p> <p>I don't think I have anything physical saved from childhood! I have a plaque from playing high school sports, and my college diploma. Everything else got thrown out when my parents rented out our childhood home! I'm glad for that, because I'd probably just hold onto it if it was still around.</p> <p>What stuff from childhood did you hold onto? </p>
