Memory Boxes.......

I have a memory box for me and one each for the kids...

With my memory box I have a big plastic box  with a lid & in it I have separated the memory's into smaller boxes....
- Mothers day
- Fathers day
- Husbands birthday cards
- My birthday cards
- Joint things to remember
- My old school things
- Things from childhood
- Easter mementos
- My things to remember
- Valentines/anniversary
I also just have old calendars that the kids made, old Madonna record, 21st cards

I try to add to the memory box asap, but sometimes I have a pile from fathers day to mothers day, and I then just do one big pack away.
This pile is usually under my diary or the school notes.
I keep my box in the shed or just under the house.

With the kids memory boxes I have either used a shoebox or another box....They are all different & I keep them in birth order, so easy to know who's is who's.
In theirs I have cards from birth, first haircut hair, birthday cards from 1st onwards & anything else that I did with them or things people sent that I wanted them to know.

I just add the things on top.
I keep their boxes in my sons wardrobe up the top....

I add the birthday cards, a couple of days after.
And anything else pretty much straight away.
