Moms wonder about all the papers and more that come home from school.\u00a0\u00a0Keeping up with your kids precious keepsakes cam be overwhelming. \u00a0There are so many scribbles, cut outs and holiday artwork. \u00a0\u00a0Setting up good systems and routines make it easier to keep control.<\/p>\n

What defines “precious” for every mom is different. Is it the first spelling test with 100? Or is it darling art work?\u00a0 I help clients define what is precious.\u00a0Something that is totally\u00a0unique to that child, such as a handprint, a written story\u00a0or\u00a0a painting,\u00a0is precious to me.\u00a0 It is easier to assess what to keep by collecting the items for a month in an easy to access\u00a0basket.\u00a0 At the end of the month, have your child go over the items in there, having them share all about the work.<\/p>\n

Here are lots of great ideas once you have decided what to keep.<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0 Take a photo of the keepsake.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 Take a photo of your child with the keepsake.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 Scan the keepsake.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0 Send keepsakes off to grandparents or other special family friends.<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0 Use the keepsakes for gift wrap.<\/p>\n

6.\u00a0 Make a book of the keepsakes.<\/p>\n

7.\u00a0 Keep the keepsakes in a large fed ex box by year in the top of a closet.<\/p>\n

8.\u00a0 Keep the art in a portfolio under a bed, in the back of a closet.<\/p>\n

9.\u00a0 Set up a “clothesline” with 6 clothespins on an wall in their bedroom. This is now the art display area. Rotate art monthly.<\/p>\n

10.\u00a0 Put together a 3 ring binder with 50 slip in sheets. Review the papers with your child and have them select one per week for the binder. This is now their precious keepsake and they will have something of pride for themselves too.<\/p>\n

How do you keep your child’s precious keepsakes?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
