4 Ways of Storing your Tiny Tot's Memories

On one lazy Sunday morning, the lil' one sees me clearing a few of her favourite things from her wardrobe and the conversation starts as follows:

Lil' one: What are you doing, momma?

Me:  Making place for your new clothes and toys.

Lil' one: But why are you taking out my old clothes and toys?

Me: So that we can give it in charity. Don't you remember what teacher said - 'sharing is caring.'

Lil' one: All agreed, momma but I want to keep all of these for my memory. When I grow up, I'll revisit all of these...it would be so much of fun...yippee!

Me: Dear, if we are gonna store every single item of your childhood for a stroll down the memory lane when you grow up then probably we'll have to built a separate house to accommodate all of it.

Convincing kids and being able to get rid of their (once upon a time) favourite stuff is not a cake walk, especially when you have kids who are so attached to each and every thing they possess. 

Here's a sneak peek into how you can plan and store some of the precious things and Memories of your Tiny Tot:

• Year wise Photo Albums: With the advent of social media, we don't need any occasion to click & shoot. All what we need to do is to stagger all the good clicks and shoots as per birthday year into folders and store it on the cloud. 
• Pop up Boxes: A lot of ideas and options are available online but what I prefer is getting done those cute pop up or explosion boxes (through the one's who know to do it) and artistically arranging a lot of pictures in it. On an average, one pop up box can accommodate nearly 100 pictures in an artistic way with some messages that could be written on it. This can be a perfect gifting option for your  lil' one on their special day.    
• Collages: Decorating your walls with photo collages will never be considered as outdated. Every photo collage frame on the wall has its own story and charm!
• A Forever Storage Box: This is something that I have been doing for my lil' one. All you need to get is a good size storage box (plenty of it are available online). I prefer storing all those tiny special items of my child in it which are no more used now like a favourite toy, favourite t-shirt, favourite booties, clips, hairbands and much more.
