Saving items for your children in the attic? Think about the timeline.

An article in that appeared in the Washington Post inspired me to share our ideas about saving stuff for your kids. 

Take a look at it here: Stuff it: Millennials nix their parents’ treasures 

The first thing to consider is the timeline. 

1. How old is your child right now?
2. What date do you think the child can take the items from you?
3. Do you have the space to properly store it? 

Think about this example of collecting your child's recreational sport t-shirts. 

If your child is 10 and you plan to collect 4 shirts for the next 4 years, you will have 16 shirts. 

1. Where will you store them? 
2. After you finish collecting and store them, how old will the child be when he/she will want them back? 28?

So, you are going to keep these 16 shirts for 14 years. 

We suggest another option. Collect shirts for 4 years, store them in your child's bedroom and then make a quilt. Whatever you don't use, give away. ~Amy
