We are currently trying to clean out my in-laws house and it has opened our eyes. We do not want to leave a mess of things for our children to have to get rid of. Unfortunately they were hoarders to a certain extent and I tell my husband to get a large dumpster and leave me there alone for a couple of days. I will take care of things! I think it scares him just a little. But seriously, consider who will have to clean it out after you are gone--keep the things you really love and sell/donate/throw away the things you don't. Good luck!
