[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My solution was to get a binder, load it with page protectors and make a scrap book. Certificates, letters, report cards, cut up yearbook to save only a few specific pages. Then took pictures of the rest. My kids love to flip thru it. I have added a few new things, concert/movie tickets, typed trip itineraries, made a few journal type entries. Did the same with my husband’s boxes of stuff. It’s also how I kept my girls mementoes, they each have 2 binders, birth thru elementary, middle school thru college.[/quote]

This is what I am planning to do too! I bought the binder and page protectors awhile ago but haven’t gotten around to actually making it yet. I also will save photos and my [b]diary/journal that I kept growing up[/b]. Wont save yearbooks or old stuffies or toys. I’ll snap a picture and toss those things. [/quote]

This is one of first things I shredded. So much cringe and angst. If the smiles and memories had outweighed these I might have thought differently, but it made be feel bad/sad for what younger me dealt with. I own my backstory and the person I am today, but didn't need the details![/quote]
