Vidalia Chop Wizard

Nicole

This is such a fun gadget! I asked for it for Christmas only to fill out a Christmas list for my husband. I didn’t have any expectations, to be honest I didn’t think it would be worth having, but boy was I WRONG!
I love it. If you don’t already have one you should give this a try. It’s well worth the money just in the time you save in chopping. I am the type of person that puts bell pepper, and onion, and sometimes celery in just about everything. I can’t begin to tell you just how much time this little gadget saved me. You can order it online or you can buy it in places like Bed Bath and Beyond. I am actually on my second one that is how much I use it! It lasted for several years and considering how little it cost I got my money out of it over and over!
Five stars in my book!!

Onion Goggles

Nicole

Here is one of my MUST HAVE items: 

These goggles ROCK! I know you are sitting there going…. “Ummm WHY?” Check out the Pink Onion Goggles. I love these goggles!! I hate cutting up onions because my eyes water so bad that I have tears running down my face… makeup going all over… it’s insane!

I was lucky enough to get a pair of these for Christmas and I must say I use them just as much as my oven because I put onion in just about everything. I don’t have any problems with tears now that I have these little beauties!

Finally, a tear-free solution for chopping onions! These goggles have fog-free clear lenses and a foam seal that protects the eyes from irritating onion vapors. Pink frames in unisex design. Fits most face shapes. Pink Onion Goggles

Sunbeam Bread Machine

Nicole

Here is one of my MUST HAVE items: 

I love fresh bread and I LOVE this bread machine! One thing I love about it is it was not over the top expensive and it works great! I have to say I am very impressed with the bread maker
My first recipe in this machine was banana bread, but silly me I was thinking it would be a normally banana bread. Nope it’s more like a loaf of sandwich bread with a little banana in it. Not sweet, and not yummy, but plain ol’ bread! BUT I it did turn out really nice! I have used this machine so many times to fresh bread, cake, rolls, and cinnamon rolls (they are the best) a good bread machine is a must in any kitchen. You simply can’t beat homemade hamburger buns! They make the burger!

A Plumber on YouTube Helped Fix My Sink!!

Nicole
Who knew?
Our kitchen sink was clogged last night! I mean clogged! The dishwasher was backing up into the sink, and when I turned the garbage disposal on in one sink it backed up in the other sink.  No matter what I did nothing worked.
I went to the grocery store and purchased some Drano. Against my better judgment I left it sitting in the sink for one hour verses the suggested 15 minutes. It’s only a suggestion….  Ummm Right? 😉
So anyway one hour came and went. My sink was still sitting with water in it with no intention of budging. Kevin and I had already bailed water out of two sinks once I didn’t want us to have to do it again. He had an import call come through so I decided to use the woman within me to fix the sink. I wasn’t going to let some stinkin’ sink win! Hell to the NO!
After searching online I found a video on YouTube that I hoped was the answer to my prayers and questions. As you can see from the video above this nice man explains how to fix a clogged sink. GUESS WHAT it worked. I fixed the sink!!
I ran in on my husband important call and did the happy dance right in front of him. Yes, it was all he could do to not laugh out loud at me, but it worked! I would like to go on record as saying once again a woman can fix anything and doesn’t need a man to do it! Ha! Well except for the man in the video lol!

Wordless Wednesdday: Storage

Nicole
Wordless, unexplainable, or depressing? Ha! Our storage unit is a menagerie of mess! We have multiple boxes of every holiday you can think of, stuff for every sport Kevin plays (hockey, tennis, golf, and so on) stuffed toys, rabbit cage, cat carriers, the list goes on! We have been trying to put as much stuff in storage as possible to make our move at the end of September as smooth as possible. My goal by the end of August is to have everything in storage but furniture, clothes, a few pots and pans, and the pets!
Thanks to my wonderful mom last weekend she and I spent an entire day taming this wild beast. This picture looks like a work of art compared to what it looked like before. Before she and I started our storage unit was a nightmare. Nothing was organized, and we didn’t know what was in any box. The entire storage was a large pile of junk!
Now each box is numbered and every item and box number has been entered into an Excel document. It looks incredible. Now we actually have a ton of room to add more. Before she and I started it appeared to be full. We pay over $100 a month for our storage unit. I wonder how many $1000’s of dollars of junk we have store in there that we keep paying for over and over each month.
It’s an ever revolving work in progress!!
