New Fridge

The fridge that came with our house when we bought it, was not the best fridge in the world. We could not use the ice machine because there was permanent rust and grossness in it. I tried to clean it when we first moved in, but it was so old, that it just stayed where it was. We also could not use the water in the fridge because there was mold in the tubes! I tried to clean it with a toothbrush and a rolled up paper towel. But again-no such luck in actually getting it clean! Another issue-it leaked! We could not figure out where the leaking was coming from, so we shut off the water. Guess what- IT STILL LEAKED! It was getting so bad that it was actually ruining the floor around the fridge! Here is our lovely off white/light tan/yellowish fridge. You can see the mat under it, that to help with the water leaking.
Inside isn't much better. As you may be able to see, some of the shelves and drawers are broken. We didn't have a lot of space either.
Needless to say- we needed a new fridge. This weekend we went out in search of a good deal. We found a really good one at hhgregg! Below is our new fridge:


We now have a stainless steel fridge! Isn't it pretty? We can use the water AND the ice from this fridge!




Here's the beautiful inside. All of the drawers and shelves are fully functional! We also have a lot more room for storing food. We also have a nice pull-out freezer below with TONS of storage.

The best part about this-no more cleaning up random puddles of water on the floor!

Grandkids Make Life Grand

While perusing Pinterest one day I came across this really good idea:   I thought to myself that both my mom and Jeff's mom would really like this! So the crafting began. First I painted a wood board the colors that both ladies wanted. My mom wanted yellow and purple and Jeff's mom wanted tan and red. Next I played around until I found the right size for the letters. Then I cut them out of vinyl on my handy-dandy Cricut: I got some contact paper and lifted up the vinyl letters: Then I lined the letters up on the wood and attached: This is just me making sure that all of the edges are pushed down: And viola! The words are finished! To finish I added a ribbon on the back, ribbon flowers, and small clothes pins to hang pictures with. The final touch was adding pictures of the grandkids. After making this Jeff and I decided that we really liked it...so I might be making something similar for ourselves!

Paddling through Brunswick Stew

Last weekend was quite an exciting one for Jeff and me. Ashley and Neil came up Friday and stayed at our house that night. We love having friends come over, especially when we don't get to see them very often! The next morning we headed up to the Hester family farm that's in Virginia. The Hester clan was having a get-together because a family friend was teaching how to make Brunswick Stew. Now, when I think of Brunswick Stew I immediately think of Smithfield's. Probably because that's the only place I've actually eaten some...yes-I'm not a southerner. When we arrived at the house I was a little surprised to see this: Brunswick Stew cooking outside in a 5 gallon pot that was being stirred by Uncle Mac with a boat paddle. Ok-it's not really a boat paddle, but it sure resembles one! This was the true southern way to make Brunswick Stew, I was told by the other man in the picture (Mr. George). Mr. George also told me that he had a 30 gallon pot to make ...

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving started off with a sister, husbands, and dog walk before we stuffed ourselves silly! A Riegel girl tradition started many years ago after watching Winnie the Pooh. Pooh and his friends play a game where they all put a stick in the river and see whose stick comes out on the other side first. We've called it Pooh sticks since we started playing. I won!  Back at the parents house ready to eat: Naomi enjoyed her first Thanksgiving meal: After Naomi's nap we went to have Thanksgiving with Jeff's family: Naomi enjoyed playing will all of the kids And Uncle Nich: Brother time:
