How about using a scanner? Create a digital scrapbook of things so you can keep them, and bugs won't eat up the paper. As for stuffed animals, one idea is to gather up the "herd" and you all go to the nearest Childrens' Hospital. That leaves a tremendous impression, knowing that patients who are children will be loving on those stuffed animals. I did that; felt very good. Great post, OmegaMom!

We've got rid of the pollys as little sis does not play with them but she is still obsessed with sylvanians and horses. AND how do you weed out the stuffed animals..she has nearly 50 still and other than dumping them on little sis she refuses to give them up. Any suggestions??

Especially them if they're getting tossed because her friends no longer play with those things. With myself and both of my kids I have found that later on they wish they'd kept them as mementos of their childhood. Or just for yourself. They grow up so fast. So a few, and I do mean a few, are nice to have for memories sake. Who knows she might want to hand them down to her children. I’d recheck here trow out when she’s not around - especially her horses.

Mine is older but I understand the sentiment. Yesterday we had a boy (yes a BOY...wahhhhhh!) ride his bike to our front door shyly asking "is K there?...could I speak to her about some school thing please? (yeah right!). I almost got caught listening through the door too (apparently I can still move pretty fast!LOL!). No biggy really...it was really just about school but still....I'm so not ready for these teen years coming up. I'm not ready I tell ya!!!! :) I enjoyed the video…then again…I’m that weird person that actually enjoys looking at other people’s photo albums!
