Sentimental Storage for people in North Carolina

Spring is HERE and if you are like me, you find yourself cleaning out closets and trying to get things organized around your home.

Inevitably, sentimental items pop up when you are sifting through all the things. A few years ago I hosted a decluttering group in which we focused on storing our sentimental items.

These storage bags are perfect for holding special clothing, shoes, and other small sentimental items from my babies. Each child has their own labeled bag and inside the bag is a handwritten letter from me. A little story or memory from each item, another form of intentional connection between us.

What I loved about this process was giving myself permission to keep the things I really cherished, with the purpose of sharing those special items with my kids. Everything else seemed less special and was easy to let go of. Donating gently used items to women’s shelters is a great way to pass along items that can be used again.

Oh goodness! We love our Baby Jae!

Special Note. I have cedar shavings in a little sachet for each bag. Something like THIS would work well to keep items in great (smelling) condition.
