Stress-Free Estate Sale Success
I would absolutely recommend hiring an estate sale company. We did that for our mother's home and
although it was expensive, they did an amazing job and then it was DONE.
We went through room by room and pulled things we wanted to keep. Then they went in and organized everything else, advertised through their extensive network, and conducted the
sale.
They took care of paperwork and taxes and after we had a "friends and family" day to take anything that hadn't sold, they got rid of everything else, either through donations or a roll off. (The roll off was emotionally hard to look
at.)
We recommended this company to my friend when her parents passed and she had an equally positive experience.

Transform Old Bread to Stuffing
We use old bread and the heels of sliced bread as the base for stuffing our Thanksgiving turkey. Just start adding bread to a sliced loaf bag and keep in the freezer until ready to use. So
much better than purchased “stuffing” mix.

Transform Old Bread to Bread Pudding
When I have a few pieces of bread left over that are getting stale, I put them in the freezer until I have enough to make bread pudding. Just break up the bread into pieces, add some eggs, milk, cinnamon, vanilla and bake in a large casserole dish until done. It makes a great dessert or breakfast.
I usually
keep my bread in the freezer so it doesn’t get stale or moldy. I just take out the number of slices needed. They thaw quickly for whatever I am making.
Thank you for all your inspiration and organizing ideas. I have put many to use over the years.
