 -- Apparently Kelly Ripa is a bit of a hoarder when it comes to mementos than involve her kids - Michael, 17, Lola, 13, and Joaquin, 11.

Ripa, 43, told Vanity Fair that she and her husband Mark Consuelos are currently moving out of their NYC apartment and that the process is a "bit of a nightmare."

"Mark likes to throw everything away, and I want to save everything for when the kids are older one day,” Ripa told the magazine. “So, you know, they have their things, like their first report card, so it’s a constant struggle as to what we should toss versus what we should save.”

She continued, "For some reason, I have a crib and a stroller and a Pack ’n Play, and a little kitchen," she said of some of the items she's been keeping over the years.

The "Live with Kelly & Michael" host added that it's not all bad. At least some very famous friends can bring their children over to play with the old toys.

“Right now, basically, David Burtka and Neil Patrick Harris’ kids come over and play with everything," she dished. "Like, that’s what it’s there for, just to get them to bring the kids over.”
