Appliances!  Either they love you or they hate you - either way they seem to all die on the same day. 

Recently, we lost our beloved blender and mixer within the same week.  Sorry to say, the first to go was the mixer.  While making our scrumptious wheat bread, we began to smell smoke.  While we didn't see any smoke coming from the machine, I was warned by my dear husband that it might spark back into the wall socket causing a house fire.  Needless to say, I wasn't willing to part with my house full of memories yet, so we gave it a proper burial later that afternoon after it cooled down. 

Next to go, later in the same week was our blender.  My Little Woman was making fruit smoothies for everyone for snack time and we began to hear a funny WHRR, WHRR, WHRR sound.  While there was not a smoke smell, nor electrical sparks flying, we decided, the blender had seen better days. 

So, now for the last month we have been blenderless and mixerless, all the while hand mixing fruit smoothies and hand-kneading our bread.  One thing for certain, we all have some incredible arm muscles!
