i came across these little bits while cleaning out the kids’ closets and trying to purge. Chris says he’s concerned that i may be on an episode of “Hoarders” soon because in all honestly, i really can never throw out a thing having to do with our wee ones. it’s equally hard for me to give away any of my children’s clothes because like most women, i attach a memory to each and every outfit.
luckily, in my weepy postpartum moment, my dear husband alotted me a few items i could keep. amongst the tiny pile are these broken in “just learned to walk” shoes of my first born- my Jack. I love how every little toe has left it’s print on the worn in leather from his hundreds of proud steps.
they are broken in the best way…
to continue on your “BROKEN” journey, head over to Kara Jo Photography | Memphis TN to check out her edition…
Sara T - Awwwww, so sweet! I love what these mean to you. I don’t even know if I have my “wee” ones first pair of kicks. Hey, don’t knock “Hoarders”…that is some fine television right there.
Julie - So sweet–I am worried about becoming a hoarder too–hard to give away those special moments–luckily as photographers most of the cute outfits are well documented!! Love the light and details!
Jasmine - Oh Shannon. I can’t imagine throwing things like that. What great memories you have of it and it would be great to keep for him later. I have a Hope Chest filled with my baby things like this. Keep them forever! xoxo
Jennifer O. RomeoandMae - Oh, this is so sweet!
kelsey {las vegas maternity photographer} - oh yes there is no way I would be able to get rid of those!
Jolie - Such great memories held by them!
Val - Awww how sweet is this!!! I have a box in the garage where I keep all my very favorite/meaningful clothes that don’t fit the girls anymore. My Mom saved several pieces from when I was a little girl and I get chocked up every time the girls wear them.
LOVE the light and off course there’s nothing like a well loved pair of Salt Water Sandals.
jeni - You almost made me cry! I can absolutely relate. Great post!
Jules - I have all 3 pairs from his first walking time. of course these are meant to be kept forever. I love this pair of little j’s first shoes.
looking forward to seeing you tonight! xoxo
Stephanie Moore {Tucson AZ Photographer} - I love the little Salt Water Sandals, so precious. I am totally the opposite of a hoarder and I hate that sometimes. I will toss things constantly and often regret I tossed it. You are such a good Mommy!
wendy - These are absolutely precious. Those are such classic and timeless sandals. So glad you were able to keep these. I love how your colors all go together in this set. Genius, girl.
Melanie Pitcher - Never throw those away! Such a precious memory!
Gretchen - Aw so sweet! Love love love! Don’t you dare give those away!
Jessica Deane - Wonderful! love this!
