Adria.Cavanaugh's Profile

My husband and I are currently living this his parents and have had out fair share of issues. We moved into help with with financial troubles they were having, but their standard of living was much lower then ours. We often would buy what would be 2 weeks of food for us that would be devoured within 24-48 hours Nothing lasts in the house. We have sat down with them and talked about whats ours and what we want to last a number of times, but nothing helps. Often times notes we leave directly on food we buy "disappears". Additionally food is Often left out and gone to waste. Entire cartons of eggs, milk and deli meats and cheese are left out and forgotten. We once found an entire bag of new chicken that someone had placed in the pantry that was completely defrosted. Mom is an extremely messy cook, foods are left all over the counter, floor oven and sink for days. Their youngest doesn't know how to use a reasonable amount of toilet paper and toilets are often clogged and left uncared for. Absolutely disgusting. But luckily we will be buying a house soon!

White is great --- I would pain the walls, replace the curtains and probably replace the nobs for the drawers and cupboards as well.

The best cookware - knives and pot and pans. When we first got hitched we bought some really pricey pots pans and knives and I will never regret it!
The best towels - We go a lot of towels as wedding gifts and there are only a handful that I like using.
The best mattress - I have the worst back and am a rough sleeper so this means the world to me!
The prettiest rugs - ties together any room!

So cute! I wish I could see pics of that kitchen! It sounds adorable!
