Let’s talk about ephemera. That’s right e-fem-e-ra! Let’s start by checking the Oxford Dictionary’s official definition of the word, which states the following:

“things that exist or are used or enjoyed for only a short time: there were papers, letters, old boxes—all sorts of ephemera” and also

“collectable items that were originally expected to have only short-term usefulness or popularity: Mickey Mouse ephemera

So  here’s a question for you, when is being a hoarder a good thing? I’m sure many would answer “never”, but trust me it is a good thing when it relates to keeping family records, documents, ephemera and photos.
