Classifieds

As the season of wedding progresses...

Adam and I have been starting to brainstorm about some things that we might like to register for. Buuuuut, there is so much out there and its almost impossible to know where to start. So consider this our classified section:

WANTED:

Ideas. What is your ultimate couldn't-live-without-it item that you either

1.) Registered for when you got married

2.) Bought for yourself because it was so necessary

3.) Wish you'd registered for because you realize how much you need/want one now.

4.) Really want to have some day!!

Also, is there anything you registered for/have that you never use or don't really like?? (Is this a sore subject?)

What are some things that you have found you use way more than you thought? What should every couple have in their kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, home, etc??

In return, here are a few of my favorite kitchen items that I have. My kitchen is my happy place. These are some of the things that make it so happy...

THIS spoon that used to live at Kappa Delta. I loved it so much I used to hide it in the kitchen so I could always use it. Then I adopted it. Whoops.

These onion goggles. That's right. I have unusually sensitive eyes to onions. So one of my best friends, Corrine, got these for me!

These Hug Mugs are my roommates and I love them. They have no handles, instead you wrap your hands around them. Like a hug. And they keep your hands warm. :)

These adorable oven mits that my dear friend Ashley gave to me.

This hilarious picture of a dog that is on our fridge. It cracked me up. So naturally I had to cut it out and display it. He still has no name. Suggestions?

All the dove chocolate quotes that get posted on our fridge.

My pretty Rwandan basket that Sister gave to me. My produce lives in it.

The cookbook collection!! Duh.

My ginger yogi tea that "improves digestion." Takes me back to ginger tea breaks in Rwanda. Every day.

This Irish blessing that my mom sent me once in a care package. We're Irish so I love it. Now it hangs above the stove.

These precious Anthropologie measuring spoons that Brotherkind gave me for college graduation.

One of my two favorite candles (someone recently made fun of me for having "favorite candles"...but is that unusual? I don't think so. Anyway...) My sister gave me this one for Christmas. I burn it in every room. It makes my apartment smell like Anthropologie which is in a word, ideal.

And last

But certainly not

Least....

My FROGGY bag clips. These are quite likely my FAVORITE kitchen accessory. My mom got them for me at BB&B when I moved into this apartment. And everyday, when I open my drawer, or cabinet, or freezer, I see their happy little faces smiling at me.

"Life is good" they're saying.

It is good isn't it little froggies?

Ok, now that I shared these I expect some ideas/advice/wisdom from all of y'all about (other) essentials. Thanks!
