Below is my list of the 10 things I couldn't live without (well I could.. but why would I?). I posed this question to Alex and his response was "1. MINI BLENDER.... by far my favorite. After that i have no favorite....(I need to give this one a little thought)."
I'll be curious to see what the man of the house comes up with and how it compares to my list.
1. Sponges, dishrags, towels…
- Anything use to wipe surfaces clean! (It’s difficult to have a spotless apartment, but I at least have to have all of the counters and tables clean and free of crumbs at all times
2. A soap dispenser filled with dish soap
- We have brushes that have dish soap in them, but having the dispenser makes it easy to soak items in soapy water and clean the wine glasses that I can’t use the cleaning brushes on - broke two that way oops!
3. Good smelling candles
- These help make the apt smell good and they help me get into a good mind frame.. right now I’m burning a Fresh Cut Roses yankee candle to get into the spirit of Valentine’s day and infuse a little spring!
4. Measuring tape & sewing kit
- Very useful for ordering clothes online and making sure they’re right size.. also the seam riper is handy for those new clothes!)
5. Girly tool set
- This comes in handy because I know how to use everything in it and it’s easy to grab because it’s so light!
6. Ice maker
- Love not having to empty ice cube trays and refill them
7. Recycling bins & shredder
- recycling makes me feel like I’m doing my part for the environment and it evens help me organize “trash”)
8. Blinds/curtains
- Love opening them in the morning and closing them at night. This is probably a habit from my childhood, but there's something refreshing about opening them when the sun has risen and letting in the sunshine.
9. DVR
- I love to watch tv, but this ensures that I don’t miss anything – tv shows or nights out with friends or nights in with alex
10. Coffeemaker
- Although it’s annoying to clean this out every day, I love the auto program function, it’s easier for me to wake up when my coffee is already ready!
I love to know how people think, so to me it's really interesting to see how people respond to a prompt like this... I think it can actually tell you alot about a person (Alex's response is so Alex. He likes to keep life simple).
