    I keep everything! lol. When DD was born my parents ordered her a special personalized box to keep special things in. I also made a shadow box of all the hospital info, receiving blanket, hat, coming home outfit.

    I have a big Tupperware bin that I keep her things in. Her hospital blanket, baptismal things, first day of school report, etc. I’m sure I could be more organized about it since it’s currently all just stuffed in there. I want to start making a yearly family photo book, starting with last year’s photos so she will be able to look back on our family of 3. Who know if I’ll ever get it together enough though.

    I basically shoved everything in a giant plastic tote lol.  I have an untouched baby book too.  I rock lol.

    @wildrainbow That sounds perfect. I wish every hospital did something like that!

    @wildrainbow I love that your hospital does that. I’m a super sentimental type, so that would be something I would find very special to have.

    @wildrainbow - that is so great that the hospital does that! I wonder if someone on Etsy would make something similar. That would be a great keepsake!

    I'm planning to make photo books and if I ever have time to scrapbook again I would like to do that. I have an empty container I am planning to put all the other keepsakes in too. That's the plan but of course we will have to see how it goes when baby gets here.

    I make a shadowbox for each kiddo with newborn goodies ( hospital bracelet, hat, coming home outfit, etc.)

    I also keep a book for each kiddo where I write them notes and have done that since they were born. Sometimes I do once a month, sometimes it’s every other month. I plan to give them the book of notes when they’re older- maybe when they’re off to college?

    I love the shadowbox idea. I heard about it a while ago but never got around to making one. I like scrapbooking, so most of my keepsakes are in photo albums. But DD's hospital hat and bracelets are still sitting in little plastic bags, so I'll have to look into this shadow box idea!
