Introducing my super fantastic awesome SISTER!

Hello! I would like to take a moment to introduce you to my fantastic sister! She currently has her own blog @ waughtivebeenupto. We have both had a hard time posting as frequently as we want to. And it often seems when one of us is posting a lot the other isn't. So we have decided to blog together! She is going to leave her blog and join mine. I am super excited about this! We should have just done it from the beginning. We haven't always shared a lot of the same interests however recently it seems we have ALL of the same interests! So blogging together and doing more projects together is going to be really fun. I am hoping it also keeps us motivated to get a lot of projects done. We will be signing the end of our posts so you can keep us straight.

I am also hoping to get an "about us" tab up soon so we can both have a profile posted about ourselves. I am also working on adding a buttons to follow both of us on pinterest. Coming soon I promise!!

One of the blogs that we are both inspired by is eighteen25. It is managed by three sisters and we think they are pretty great!

I hope you enjoy having my sister around here! I know I will. She is pretty awesome. =)Thanks for stopping by!!

How to: Thread a Brother 1034D Serger

I am so excited to finally be able to share that I have used my serger! I bought it back in November but hadn't had a chance to put it to use because I have been so busy and to be honest I was pretty intimidated. I started out reading the entire manual that came with it and I still had no idea how to even thread the thing. So I quickly googled it like I do with many things. And I stumbled across this EXTREMELY helpful video on youtube.

 

I hope this is helpful to anyone else that may be struggling. I will be post more tutorials on how to use this amazing little machine as I complete them! As always thanks for stopping by and be sure to leave a comment or question if you have one!

Slow Cooker: Chicken & Dumplings

Happy Hump Day. I can't wait for the weekend to get here! We have some seriously fun plans this weekend. Including going to look at a house. I really hope it works out.

I have a seriously love of comfort food. I am pretty sure I could eat mashed potatoes every day of my life...but then again who couldnt!? So when I saw a recipe on pinterest for slow cooker chicken and dumplings I knew I had to try it. My inspiration came from this post on polishthestars.com. I followed a good portion of her ingredients and directions but I made some of my own changes.

Slow Cooker: Chicken & Dumplings

Ingredients

-1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast (About 3 breasts)

2 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter

2 cans (10.5oz) Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup (I used fat free)

1 can (14oz) Chicken Broth OR

(1 C water and 2 frozen chicken broth cups. See how to make those here.)

1/2 medium White Onion, diced

4 Large Flaky Refrigerator Biscuits (half a can)

1. Place thawed chicken in crock pot and top with butter.  Add cream of chicken soup, chicken broth and diced onions.  Cook on Low for 8 hours (I never cook anything for very long on high in my crock pot because I have never had good luck with it. Everything seems to dry out.)  Now walk away and do not stir while cooking.

2. Cut each uncooked biscuit into 9 small pieces and stir into the chicken/soup mixture.  Continue to cook on High for 45 minutes (or until biscuits look smooth and doughy like dumplings).  Remove chicken from slow-cooker and shred with a fork.  Return to slow-cooker and stir everything together.  Serve hot.

Makes about 4-6 servings.

Easy Peezy Homemade Febreze-y

Gotta love that cheesy title. =) This weekend I made some homemade febreze and it was super easy and... IT WORKS! It was also really cheap. I'm not sure exactly how much it cost me but I'd be willing to bet it was just a few pennies. I found the idea on pinterest which led me to this post on fakeitfrugal.

This literally took me about 20 seconds to make and it was totally worth it. What a great money saver!

Supplies

-An empty febreze bottle or any empty spray bottle

-2 t baking soda

-1/8 C fabric softener

Directions

Combine fabric softener and baking soda, mix well. (I would recommend using a glass or stainless steel measuring cup for this. Plastic may absorb the smell of the fabric softener.) Pour into empty spray bottle and fill the rest of the way with hot tap water. Place lid on bottle and shake well. Now spray and refresh your home! So easy. =)
