Battling the Basement: Parameters for Purging

While I was recently bemoaning my basement battles, a friend who runs a home education store in my area gave me some helpful advice about purging. She said that if anything shocks, burdens, or bores the next generation it should be given or thrown away. I've decided to heed this advice as I continue going through my boxes and pass it on as a suggested course for others in their own quests for a more organized home in 2018.
