Are you guilty of throwing away your kid's artwork?  I feel like I would be that kind of parent.  Especially the older I get.  I get SO tired of clutter and a bunch of paper. And honestly, I have probably done this with stuff from my nieces, nephews, and maybe even my stepdaughter.  I'm not necessarily PROUD of that, but I just get overwhelmed with stuff!

But I love the fact that Jenna Bush Hager brought it up on national TV.  She got caught by her daughter.  And her daughter's response is a bit of a punch in the gut.  See the video here:

Clutter is a real problem for MANY people these days. So it does make me wonder what all these parents are doing with all of their kid's artwork! I love that kids are super creative and love to give their artwork to their parents, grandparents, and others as gifts.  But at what point do you start getting rid of it?
