And I still have a box with the long Christening dress both my kids wore, but my daughter in law didn't want it for her kids, as she wanted something more modern. Sadly I have no idea what to do with it yet.Samihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06467163627586022816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119733539095505639.post-13120870161674175612020-10-14T16:07:25.465-07:002020-10-14T16:07:25.465-07:00This could be a covid post as so many people (myse...This could be a covid post as so many people (myself included) are doing tis cleaning now.

I also found it hard to gave some of my boys things away. I think there are so many happy memories attached to them, perhaps we afraid we will loose those.

Miss 17 had a gorgeous dress with matching hat she wore to my sister's wedding when she was 3, it cost a bomb so after she outgrew it I sold it on Ebay and she has never forgiven me! Needless to say, the dress I bought for her to wear to another family wedding when she was 7, is still hanging in one of our cupboards!!!!Janet Camillerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14040750107420193756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119733539095505639.post-11073404236754246192014-10-12T23:46:00.688-07:002014-10-12T23:46:00.688-07:00Moving so often (22 times all up) means I've h...Moving so often (22 times all up) means I've had to be fairly ruthless with culling things we didn't need and I have only kept one or two items from when the girls were little.

I kept an item or two for each of my kids as babies and have given the rest to those in need. I think I had the biggest pang for my maternity clothes, knowing they would not be needed again... xKirstyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14645347058596682545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119733539095505639.post-2709012489752056122014-10-12T20:08:13.281-07:002014-10-12T20:08:13.281-07:00Because I have three boys I tend to hang onto stuf...Because I have three boys I tend to hang onto stuff to use as 'hand me downs'. This can save money but does lead to a fair amount of hoarding. It is sad when you have to throw all the 'baby' stuff out, especially when you know there will be no more babies. I couldn't even deal with another baby yet I still feel sad.

I'm not sure if it's out of sentimental value or because the person I passed them on to wasn't particularly grateful for them (Some of the outfits were given back to us as 'rags', she no longer got anything from us).

It's not just baby clothes though, it's clothes of mine that bring back memories when I look at them. The entire top of our wardrobe is filled with clothes I will no longer wear, but just can't part with. I think I need an intervention :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02524009835775611112noreply@blogger.com
