Our new cottage is a month-to-month rental that’s furnished as if it have been an Airbnb, so we have now just about the whole lot we want minus garments and toys. However in fact there are these “comforts of house” that we needed to convey alongside, largely within the kitchen!
We’re lastly considerably settled in, and so I believed I’d share what must-have objects we introduced with us, and what we left behind tucked someplace into the nooks and crannies of our basement.
In fact, if we want something that we forgot, we’re fortunately just a few minutes away.
What we introduced:
Coffee Grinder and Coffee Maker: Whereas there IS a espresso maker on the cottage, we’re used to and hooked on ours and all of its settings. Plus our new Burr grinder is now essential! So we introduced each of those with us.
Caraway Pans – Read this post for my full overview! We’re obsessive about our cookware. We determined to make use of our set and we have now tucked away the cottage’s major items.
Vitamix: We use our Vitamix blender the entire time for smoothies. It was undoubtedly a high kitchen merchandise we couldn’t do with out – there isn’t any different blender prefer it!
Dyson Vacuum: Between the youngsters and the canine, I find yourself utilizing our Dyson a pair occasions per day! This was a no brainer to convey, and I don’t do properly with cords, haha. Solely drawback is we don’t have a fantastic built-in spot for it.
Air Purifiers: White noise and clear air are two of Thomas’s high priorities of life.
1/2 of my garments: I packed away half of my garments. One half of these are mid-winter kinds I most likely received’t want between March and September, however the different 25%?

Every part in our pantry: Regardless of making an attempt to plan pantry meals for months, we’re nonetheless transferring means an excessive amount of stuff! However we gotta use it up a method or one other. I left behind a can of pumpkin that doesn’t expire till 2024. Will probably be ready for me for within the fall!
Youngsters’ Toys and Actions: We introduced too many, however would possibly as properly since they need to be saved in any case. And the boys’ rooms have respectable storage with huge empty closets.

Massive Toys / Additional toys: We despatched a few of these to our in-laws so that they boys have toys there and we didn’t need to retailer them. The prepare set and the (dreaded) sizzling wheels set are each there.
Different issues I can go with out for six months: nail polish set, single-use home equipment like our rice cooker, half my jewellery, cords, batteries, our printer, and extra!
Peloton: Even when we’d had the area, I’m unsure we’d have introduced it. Whereas I really like our Peloton bike and have been utilizing it 2-3 occasions per week since we bought it throughout the pandemic, we’re leaving it again at house. I’ll depend on our health club membership for the following a number of months, and I’d drop by the home on my means house from preschool for a morning journey.
