Top 10 memory keepsake apps to store children's milestones, memories, artwork and more!

Anyone who has spent more than five minutes with me in the last few months knows that my babies will be heading to high school next fall. I'm a sentimental girl at heart so I've done a pretty good job of documenting major milestones, funny quotes/stories and the occasional finger-painted masterpiece. My basement and closets are filled with tubs of artwork, baby books, photos and keepsakes. I will neither confirm nor deny that there are two little boxes filled with baby teeth in my sock drawer. My point is, this stuff takes up a lot of space (and is occasionally a little gross). Luckily, there are wonderful apps out there that can digitally preserve a child's first word, that giant science fair project or a video of the first wobbly bike ride without training wheels. Check out these ten memory saving and sharing apps.
