We don't have a basement, which means storage is a bit limited around here. I'll be the first to admit that I have a little bit of an issue parting with my kids' baby items, and even though I'm 99.9 percent sure I don't want any more kids, it's the 0.01 percent that keeps me loading up towers of plastic bins in our garage. My husband has offered up that I have his blessing to buy anything we should need if we ever decide to have another child, so long as I get rid of some of the stuff that is of no use to us right now. I have agreed, but let me tell you, it is not easy. I'm finding out firsthand that the sentimental attachment moms have to their babies' things is no joke, and neither is parting with them.

For no real reason other than the fact that he won't let you have unlimited amounts of babies and keep every item they ever came into contact with. Men! Source: Flickr user fredrikrynde
Which somehow grows much bigger than the "toss" pile. Whatever, the storage unit is not that expensive. Source: Flickr user Family O'Abé
And, with the exception of a few items, toddler clothes turn out to be way easier to get rid of! Good riddance, Disney paraphernalia and pants with holes in them! Your "toss" pile is making some serious headway. Source: Flickr user US CPSC
Which you accidentally almost tossed and feel terrible about. No way you are parting with that one old baby shoe that belonged to your grandfather (or something). Nope, not a chance. Source: Flickr user rabiem22

Obviously your daughter is going to want to teach her kids how to ride a bike on the same bike you taught her, so yeah, this one is a keeper. Source: Flickr user Lars Plougmann
