This is a great idea. I haven’t thought of doing a memory box with the boys – but maybe I should. I have a shoebox that has all my highschool and other pre-hubby miscellaneousness in. It’s great to have. 🙂 thanks for the idea!
What a great idea. I still have mine. Full of concert stubs and such. Fun to look through. Makes me giggle I paid under 40$ to see the Rolling Stones. 🙂
I LOVE memory boxes and always kept one while growing up. and I also kept one I made about my Grandma after she passed away, which is a great way for kids to remember loved ones 🙂 Great idea!
This is a good idea! I keep things in a big bin, but do not have a little memory box…I may just have to make one.
I never kept a memory box but, I do keep a huge bins for all of my daughter’s things. What a great idea though. LOVE IT.
