Sassy Silver Sisters

It's that time of year when we get excited about the warm weather. I'm looking forward to it but not so much to what comes with it such as spring cleaning. I found a 30-day plan to help with this task from TheSpruce.com. What a great way to split up the work so it won't be overwhelming. So let's get started. Before you get started, prepare some boxes. Here’s what you need: Donate Box:  Anything you want to donate goes into this box.  Repair Box:  While you’re decluttering and cleaning, you will come across items that need to be mended or repaired. Place these items in a box until you’re ready to get them fixed. Don’t let repairs sidetrack you until you’re done cleaning. Put-Away Box:  If you find something that doesn't belong in a drawer , add them temporarily to a put-away box. Once you’re done with the drawer, take that box and return everything in it to its rightful storage place. Keep a pen and paper or a digital list (my choice for lists) nearby during your spr

This simple St. Patrick’s Day craft is easy to put together, uses supplies that are readily available and I love how it looks displayed!  What you’ll need: Some string Stapler A few buttons Green cardstock Gluestick or another type of adhesive Some pages from an old book or if you are like me and don't want to tear up a book, search for FREE old book pages and print them out Instructions : Using the book pages cut out 5 or more rectangles approximately 3.5″ x 6.5″ in size. Cut a triangle shape out of the bottom of your rectangles. Hint: From left to right, find the center of your rectangle then measure 1 3/4 ” from the bottom to find where the top point of your triangle will be. *************************************************************************** Would you like to help us do reviews?

  My husband is trying to go gluten-free.  So before Christmas, we were trying to make gluten-free bread. One of our Christmas presents was a Hamilton Beach bread machine.  It has a gluten-free setting.  Nice, right?  So we have made a few items with it.  After all, it is tax season and I am super busy getting my records to the accountant. My husband has made several loaves of gluten-free bread.  We used the gluten-free setting.   He likes the ease of using the machine.   The bread turned out pretty good.   Gluten-free is a dense bread, so he mainly uses it for toast.   I thought I had a picture, but I guess not.   Sorry. I tried my hand at it and made raisin bread and pizza dough.   These were not gluten-free.  They turned out great.  So easy.  The machine comes with a booklet that lets you know how to use the machine and how to layer your ingredients for the best results. As you can see there are quite a few settings on this machine.  What surprised me was the cake setting.  I have n
