I spent five hours packing Z's room today, and I am not even done yet (!!!).
I had to work on it by myself because I wanted to throw a lot of stuff away and Z would never let me. She is very attached to her junk, I mean... her priceless items.
Honestly, she feels a very strong attachment to everything she has ever made, every piece of paper she has ever written on, any toy anyone once gave her that she played with one time before forgetting about it, and most items of clothing she has ever worn including handme down boy's pajamas that are at least four inches too short for her.
But it is not fair to only make fun of Z.
Pere and I have a ridiculous amount of kitchen items for a tiny 8x8 kitchen. I was packing them tonight and I couldn't help but think "What the hell are we doing with all this stuff??"
We have all the normal stuff like
The Kitchen Aid
Food Processor
Blender
The Crock Pot
Rice Cooker
The Electric Mixer
We got the fancy stuff
The Good Silver
The Crystal
The Cake Set
The helpful stuff
Lots of twine
The Hand Blender
Mortar and Pestle
The Japanese cooking stuff
Sushi Maker
Special bowl to cool sushi rice
Steamer
and all uber necessary
Hello Kitty Waffle Machine
Fondue Set
Cake Decorator
Canape Bread Molds
Pasta Maker
Creme Brulee kit
Apple corer, peeler, slicer
and, of course, S'more Maker
And that's not all of it... thank God I am getting a bigger kitchen.

How have I gone all my life without a s'mores maker? I also still have to sneak into C & J's rooms when their not looking to get ride of stuff!
LOL:) I'm glad you're getting a bigger kitchen too;) But seriously, I think the "Hello Kitty" waffle maker is essential.
Forte
LOL! I enjoyed seeing all of your kitchen items;-)
Before we moved overseas I had to get rid of almost everything, we only took 6 boxes with us. When we returned we back to the US, I had to start from scratch, so we don't have too many of the unnecessary items at this time.
LOL, we almost picked up the Hello Kitty waffle maker for P this past year, but my sis gave me an unused
one she did not want to pack and haul
herself...your collection looks like ours except for the sushi stuff- we always order in,lol.
Tee hee! we've got all that but the kitty waffle maker and the s'mores maker -- but I surely would not give those up if I had them!
Oh, I really feel for you guys making this move -- we moved about 5 years ago to this house, and it was quite an event.
I can be added to the list of people that have an absorbent amount kitchen stuff that some may see as "useless" - but what would I do without my juicer? Or my popcorn air popper? And I'm pretty sure that I wouldn't even bother to wake up if I didn't have my food processor. :) We went from all that stuff in a kitchen that was about 6x8 to one that is about 13x13 and I must say, it's even better to have good kitchen stuff when you don't have to climb a ladder to get it out or put it away.
That is a lotta stuff. I hope your new kitchen has lots of nooks and crannies for a new collection! lol. ;)
All I can say is a great big embarrassed DITTO.
I proved myself The Worst Mother In The World the other day because I put in the garage (not throw away, you notice) two old boxes Rose hadn't played with for about a year. "But Mummy, I love them!!!!"
We have the same mortar and pestle. I miss our apple peeler, we gave that to my husband's grandfather years ago since he had apple trees in the yard. An interesting coincidence because I had planned to look for one online the other day.
wow, and I thought I was the only one with a jillion kitchen items
