What is a childhood memento that most people keep? Among the many toys or gifts, security blankets are one of the most common objects that are stored when people grow out of them. The one thing that was given to me when I was young still holds dear to me: my baby blanket. My blanket has been with me throughout my whole life. Although it seems like an ordinary object, it came from an important figure in my life, and having it with me constantly caused me to almost lose it, but luckily I was able to find it, and I still have it to this day.
When I was born, I received my baby blanket. My mother, now a mother of four, got it for me to put in my crib. Since I’ve gotten my blanket, I decided to call my baby blanket ‘Blankie’ when I first saw it,

The drive there was time consuming, but we stopped at many attractions along the way. My family and I spent the night at a hotel where there was a pool and an arcade. After a night of rest, In the morning we packed up our belongings and headed back for the road. I didn’t notice I didn’t have my blanket until we were ten minutes away from the hotel. Panic arose and I was soon screaming at my father to turn around. My father caved and eventually we were able to get my blankie.
After the calamity, I always make sure I keep it safe at all times. My life wouldn’t be the same if it had gotten lost. Losing it would mean losing a good friend. It has a nice spot on the corner of my bed where it’s safely stored. From a brand new bright blue baby blanket, to a worn out rag dilapidated from memories, it’s been a wonderful companion through life. Despite all of the troubles I’ve faced, my blankie and I are still together. As a gift from my mother, it followed me through the adventures of my youth. Almost losing it created heartbreak, but eventually I was able to recover it. Our meeting almost 15 years ago has created a strong bond that nothing can surpass. Through adventures, movie nights, and being scared of the dark, my blankie will always be my
A few days in the marina, savoring the last little bits of our time in Florida, ended abruptly with an early morning trip to the airport in the dark. With spring break coming up and missing grandbabies, not to mention kids, we planned to fly back up north for a visit. We had to wear long pants and carry coats because we knew it’d be cold in Maryland. Ohhh…the horror of it.
I was very happy to see them again, but I realized I couldn’t for the life of me, remember their names. It doesn’t seem like a big deal, but as a child I spent hours and sometimes even days thinking up names for all of my stuffed animals. It hadn’t bothered me too much, until I realized I could remember the names of stuffed animals I no longer owned—stuffed animals I hadn’t seen in eight years.
Before receiving the Real Care Baby, I knew it took a lot of work to care for a newborn. I now know that it takes a lot more than I thought. The forty-eight hours I had the baby were frustrating, exhausting, and stressful. It’s a lot of hard work, but I’m sure if it were a real child it would totally be worth it.
A truthful memory that you cannot quite remember, but still never forget. The creepy, yet capturing toy that never seems to be forgotten. As we grow all our old toys, seems to either be broken, thrown out or just lost and then forgotten. We may neglect them, but do they remember us, and if they do – what does that mean for us and our future?
Didn’t we all have that one thing that we loved so dearly when we were growing up? It may have been the teddy that you always lost or your favourite blanket that you could not sleep without. Admit it. We’ve all had that

Everywhere I go, I carry with me a tangible piece of my past as both a reminder of who I was, as well as who I have become. Although it seems trivial, this item is my beanie. In an effort to reestablish my image as I entered middle school I grew out my hair started to wear a beanie to school every day. After reaching the end of my middle school experience, I cut my hair (mostly out of desperation in the summer heat). Although my hair was gone, the beanie seemed to stick around. I believe this is because it takes me back to a simpler time in my life, but also serves as a reminder of how much I’ve grown and matured since then. I have no regrets, and it is fully my decision to carry this item, but it brings me comfort because of who I was back then versus who I am now. It only weighs a few ounces, and it weighs down my heart about as much as it weighs down my head: not much.
As my summer service project I chose to have a towel collection and donate them to the Pensacola Humane Society. The Pensacola Humane Society is “Committed to improving the lives of companion animals in our community through advocacy, adoption, education and sanctuary.” When I first read about their story and goal, I knew that this was the shelter I wanted to donate to. I have always been a huge animal person, so I am always ready to help them in any way I can.
My artifact is brown and black with almost 2 decades’ worth of memories; this object is my stuffed Rottweiler named Max.

My stuffed animal has been with me through every ups and downs in life, every change that has ever occurred to me, has been a part my past and present; and represents my future.

Miss Brill enjoys feeling connected not only to the people around her but also to favorite objects in her life. She croons to her old fur stole "Dear little thing!" which she lovingly refers to as "Little rogue!"(1) They have enjoyed many dressy days together and Miss Brill views the fur stole as her pet. While conversing with old, stuffed garments may seem strange, she is more or less just talking to herself. How much more would a puppy understand? Would Miss Brill appear saner if she chatted with a kitty or perhaps a goldfish? Aside from the smashed-in nose, her little stole would look quite realistic curled up on her duck-feather quilt, a furry friend looking up at its owner with fervent eyes, waiting to be stroked, impatient to be wrapped around the shoulders of its miss, silently nipping its own tail as they stroll to their favorite destination.
Richard Rogers’ song “Favorite Things” talks about how the narrator’s favorite things make them feel better when times aren’t the best. People often have a memento from childhood that they keep throughout their life, such as a stuffed animal or a tea set. These possessions represent a memory or event from one’s life -whether it be from early on or from later in life- which in turn remind them of the feelings from the times they received it. These tokens from their early life often mean the world to them, and this is an accurate description of how I feel about my “Blankie.” My blanket is a source of comfort, every small imperfection has a memory behind it, and these impressions make the blanket unique to my life and my experiences. While most of the details that reside on my blanket are small and often remain unnoticed, each one makes it more important to me.

Pleasures, stemming from everyday beauty, can come from anywhere. For me, one of the places everyday beauty comes from is my owl blanket. With the blanket’s tiny owls, dressed in their small purple hats and pink scarfs the owls brace for a long upcoming winter. It is impossible to feel any negative emotions or thoughts when wrapped in its snugly warmth. Crying is quickly subdued when I wrap myself in the blanket. The Fabric acts as a shield against the outside world, guarding me against destructive forces. This blanket brings me immeasurable happiness throughout the frigid fall. No matter what the owls want me to think, the blanket can only be used for a couple of months out of the year, due to its thinness. Despite this, I still keep the owl blanket as part of my room’s décor. Even if I cannot use it unless I want to give myself a heatstroke, I can still receive joy from looking on the many small owls upon the fabric. This enormous amount of delight, from this one colorful, blanket stands as one
It was the summer of 1977, and my father decided to pack the station wagon and drive from Fort Worth to Tampa, Florida. Besides my parents in the vehicle, my two sisters and brother also joined us for the long journey. I was young and excited and did not realize the distance my father would be driving on this trip. We made two stops on the way down and the first one was in Mississippi at a Holiday Inn. My first time spending the night the night at a hotel occurred on this vacation, and I was excited. We had adjoining rooms with my parents, and we spent the evening in the pool and watching television all night. I was never aware of my parents’ finances but I know now, we did not have a lot of money. From Mississippi, we stopped again in Tallahassee, Florida and we swam in the ocean during the afternoon and hit the hotel pool in the
