The Mixer

Right after my grandpa Preece died and my mom and her sibling were getting ready to get the house sold and move my grandma into a home, they went through all of their things to decide what to do with all of it.

My grandma had a KitchenAid mixer that for some reason the siblings wanted to give away to the DI. My mom was like, "Umm...do you know how much those are worth? We are not giving it to the DI!" Fortunately for me nobody wanted it so my mom snagged it up and gave it to me! :) I could not have been more pleased!

I have been wanting one of these beauty's for years but could never bring myself to pay the price for a brand new one. The best part is that it was my grandma's so it has sentimental value as well. I will think of her every time I use it.


My grandma was a great cook and baker so this mixer got a lot of use out of it. From what my mom and sister tell me it was pretty gross with caked on dried food and dough. They had to scrub quite a bit to get it clean but eventually they did get it pretty clean! So thank you mom and Dee for taking the time to do that! I love you both so much!

I love my "new" mixer!
