Who doesn't like the smell of fresh baked bread?

With my crazy schedule here's one of my attempts at being a domestic housewife.  

Here at our house we LOVE having fresh bread.  And we go through bread like crazy here.  So, the other day I thought, "Why don't I make homemade bread more often?"  Well, the answer for me is- the mess!  With my happy helpers we get flour EVERYWHERE!!!!  So, the other day I got smart.  I pulled out some gallon sized baggy's and made mix's.  Wheat, White and Farmhouse bread.  

1st- I wrote on the outside if the bags what kind of bread it was with the wet ingredients and how much yeast to add.  

2nd- I added all the dry ingredients to each bag.

Now all I have to do is pull out the bread machine, pick a mix, dump it in, add an egg, water and yeast and we have fresh bread within 4 hours.  Chad and the kids love it!  I noticed that Chad and Tanner walk in the door with big smiles the day we make bread.  It's kinda fun.  And best of all THERE IS NO MESS TO CLEAN!  

And It entertains Kaylie and Kamrie for a good 15 minutes.  They love watching to see what's going on inside the bread machine.  (That's when I get to sneak away and blog :-)  )

HAPPY BREAD BAKING!

I love the last picture of your girls looking at the bread maker. That is so cute. I can't believe how much they are growing up.
You are so creative and I love the bread mixes idea.
