This past year, my son and daughter in law fulfilled a dream that they had for their family. They decided to invest in a cottage for their growing family! A restful place that will have the kids and parents making memories that will last a lifetime!
What I would like to do is focus on a few things that are quite IMPORTANT
for anyone who has a cottage!
First and foremost, get to know your neighbors! If there is ever a
problem at the cottage, it's nice to know that your neighbors can contact
you with details or just keep an eye out if you are not there every
weekend.
Second, get to know what's around you! If you are in the
"boonies" away from civilization as we know it, it would be
especially helpful for you to know where the closest medical facility,
veterinarian (if you bring your animals with you), hardware, and grocery stores are located. It might not just be a quick
trip, if you run out of something that you need!
Third, and this is the one that stopped me in my tracks,
Plasticware!
Plasticware you say? Think about it for a minute! You have
three children that are all excited to be at the cottage and ready to run
around and let loose the minute you arrive. Now that's all great and
good, but then they get thirsty or hungry and run up to the cottage to fill
their needs. You send them away with a glass of juice/water/soda or whatever
they want and a plate of snacks to take down to the dock.
Ooops, one little slip on a rock with wet little feet and there is glass
now shattered all over the place and at least 2 other kids in bare
feet! This is NOT a good combination and will see you using the
Second most needed information on the list!
It's a little thing to do when you have youngsters in the cottage.
Keep the glass dishes and tumblers for use in the house only or don't have
any there at all (depending on how responsible your children
are).
So for house warming (cottage warming in this case) we are sending up
some nice, functional and pretty Plastic "Glassware" that everyone can enjoy
their favorite drinks in! No worries about broken glass cutting
fingers, feet or anything that could be harmed!
