Last Thursday was the last day of 1st grade for my oldest daughter! I can't believe she's already a 2nd grader! It all goes way too fast!
Before my daughter started Kindergarten I bought her an
accordion file to keep her important papers together.
I thought it was cute and it would help me to organize and keep her
special papers throughout school.

| Ours is similar to this except my daughters name is printed on it. |
It
was a great idea but the folder just doesn’t work for us. I should have thought it through a little bit
better before I bought it.
Why it doesn’t work
- So far we have two years of “special” papers and drawings and it’s already full. It is an accordion file but it doesn’t really expand that well.
- There is no cover which means things are curling and fading.

| Picture is not of my actually file, but you can see how not a lot fits in them. |
I am determined to figure out a better way to store these
treasures so I can have them to display someday at her graduation or
later on in life she can look back and revisit a little bit of her childhood.
My goal is to have a storage system in place before the
start of the next school year. What has worked for you?
