the ice princess lives happily ever after

05.13.15

Intrigued?  You should be because this isn’t only about how the ice princess and her happily ever after tale… but how you can make your own princess happy, IF

Here’s the scoop.  This princess LOVES her ice!  What happens when there isn’t any ice to be found in the castle? Let’s just say you’ve heard the little sayin’, “if momma ain’t happy ain’t nobody happy”.  Well, then you get the jest.  Here’s the deal, our (brand new, I might add), refrigerator started having issues with the ice maker shoot. (Shoot!  What I wanted to do to it after it stopped givin’ me ice!!!)  See the problem?

Well it caused the ice to freeze up in the shoot therefore no ice was making it’s way to the dispenser.  My handy dandy man went online (as he does for EVERYTHING) and found others with the same issue.  He came upon a place that sold the hardware needed to make the repair himself.  AND who wants to pay a repairman to come out and dole out $75 or more for something you can do for under $40 and under 30 minutes (seriously)!!! Not too shabby a price for making an ice princess happy right?

So here’s the details / how-to on doing the same if you encounter the same problem.  Cause who on earth wants to live in TEXAS (or anywhere else for that matter), and not have ICE for their ICED TEA???

This is the repair kit (which you can get here) along with the tools you’ll need.

And on the Repair Clinic site, you might even find a video on steps on your brand or model of fridge. But here are the rest of the pics on the steps he took.

My little 3 year old grandson was upset with me ye My little 3 year old grandson was upset with me yesterday. 
.
All because he decided to take his blankie home 2 days before and when we layed down to take a nap yesterday he was upset.  Upset he didn’t have his blankie and upset at Mimzy for not getting it for him. I hate to see children unhappy and that little face of his with tears rolling down made me sadder than he was.  I gave him 3 other blankets that didn’t replace his #1 blankie.  When he woke up he was still mad at me! 
.
It was the 1st and hopefully last time he’s ever mad at me, cause I sure didn’t like that and I didn’t even cause the problem to begin with. All I know is that we got that blankie back over here to avoid this happening again. The clock may be ticking and he’s growing full speed ahead but I don’t want to see that little man mad at his Mimzy if I can help it!
