Although many of the entries related to my everyday activities--such as school events, dating, family problems, I also included my opinions of what was going in the world--politics, fashion, religion, trends, etc. I thought I would put this question out there to see if anyone has any solutions or suggestions. Thank you!
If your children don't toss them, they could be valuable to someone down the line. I know I enjoy learning about ancestors that died before my time but I don't think I would sit down and read all of that. I could see someone with a talent for writing books using them if they are interesting. Personally I would toss them though. Prefer not to have extra stuff lying around anymore.
