Ammonia cleaning test

Had to test this out for myself! Can’t say the hours and all of the products I’ve tried to get rid of the ‘yuck’ on my gas range grates……..this was as easy as the pin said plus I expanded to the top itself by cling wrapping the dropped areas and letting them sit with ammonia on it too!

New Neighbors

Recently I put together a welcome gift for our new neighbors………. with a great deal of help from my favorite ‘go-to’ - Pinterest!!! After looking around I knew I wanted to do something that would die or you could eat (words of advice Mom always gives when considering gifts). So I landed on a cupcake bouquet. After all, this seemed like the perfect marriage of what I was looking for!


I found several examples of these and great how-to’s for piping a rose (don’t look at my frosting for the rose detail though – I don’t have the right ‘tips’, yet!) So all I had to do was find a recipe! After a quick web search for traditional welcoming symbols I landed on ‘PINEAPPLES’. And even faster than that found a great (and easy) pineapple cake recipe that just spruced up a store bought cake mix.

Big Game Party Prep


Big Game Party Prep

Keep Center Pieces Simple: No need to spend money here…. Do a quick sweep around the house. Mine includes that box of Halloween decorations that houses those High school Pom Pons and the crazy football head mask. One more trip hits the garage for the husband’s football and bull horn. Together not only do they provide a focal point but they are practical for pre-game ball tossing, cheering (and yelling) during the game.

For the kids: Grab that Dollar store roll of brown shipping paper and some construction paper. Kids young and old will enjoy writing on the table without getting yelled at.

Invite the players that didn’t make it: Raid the closet of any jerseys and use them over bar stools or chairs.

Oh yeah…… the Food: Use that same roll of shipping paper and construction paper to set and label the food station…… Clean up is a snap and it’s a nice way to integrate areas.
