When I was in 9th grade, my mom brought out a box of my old school papers, pictures I had drawn as a young child, lists of my first words and favorite foods to eat at different ages and so on. She apologetically told me that she'd tried to keep as much as she could but couldn't hold onto everything and hoped I was okay with what she'd held onto. I opened a box and it was like a walk down memory lane, except I didn't have memories of everything in the box. I tried to organize everything by age and then school year but my mom couldn't remember all the dates and could only give me approximate time frames. If I was lucky, I found a year or even a full date written on the back. All those pictures and school assignments are now in a scrapbook of mine that I started on shortly after receiving this box of memories and I continued to add to it as the years progressed. Now I have kids of my own and I find myself wanting to keep every single picture they draw or art project they make, but let's be real: there is no way I can physically hold onto everything. So what's the solution? I'll tell you: it's called Keepy.
