I really wanted a place for everything, big and small, in our cabinets this time around so that I could keep the counter tops as clear as possible to keep the room clean and tidy and at all times.
You need it now!You don’t have any store bought icing and you really don’t want to go making a big mess of your kitchen again when you thought you were two seconds away from a relaxing cookie break.. Don’t worry.
We’ve got this..Grab a few ziplock/generic brand zipper style bags.. You’re going to have delicious icing in a just a few seconds and no mess.Wasn’t that easy?.
You can either make a whole lot of icing, or just a tiny bit for a few little dots and lines, whatever works for you.. You’ll need ziplock bags, large or small, (I find if you’re going to be really intense about the squishing, the name brand ones do tend to hold up better, but dollar store bags work in a pinch too), icing sugar, butter, vanilla, and food coloring.. No matter what amount of icing you decide to make, you’ll need about 1 part butter to 4 parts icing sugar, a splash of vanilla and a few drops of food coloring.So for example, I used about 1 teaspoon of butter, to 4 teaspoons of icing sugar to get these amounts..
If you find your icing is too runny, add a bit more icing sugar.
If it’s too thick, add a bit of milk or vanilla.Although it doesn’t take much time, for me, remembering to come back to pin several times per day was just a big hassle and a distraction that was keeping me from thinking about the bigger picture and creating great blog posts.
Having someone to help with that has really made all the difference and has even helped my Pinterest account grow and thrive in a way that I was never able to do on my own.If you’re a blogger, then you know how much traffic Pinterest can generate so having help in this one key area has really been worth it to me..
There are days when working even an hour is just not going to happen, and I love that with my system, that’s totally OK. I’ll often take Sundays off completely just because the whole family’s home, or we’re working on a project for the house, or I’m just tired and want to have a day to relax and forget that I have a business that I could be working on at any given moment.It’s important..
