1950's Vintage Apple Dump Cake Recipe

I am all for simple..simple recipes that is. Dump cakes became popular during the 1950's. It truly amazes me how the women of the 1950's would come up with these wonderful ideas. After World War II boxed cake mixes became available to the delight of housewives everywhere as well as canned food.
Dump cakes are simply 2 or 3 ingredients. I am sharing this wonderful Apple Dump Cake recipe. My husband and children love it. I serve it warm with vanilla ice cream. PLUS..there is very little mess to clean up as well. No mixing bowl. I can live with that.

Outfit of the Day and A Favorite 1950's Chair

My outfit of the day. It's a beautiful late Summer day here and thought I would capture the wonderful lighting in my living room . Here I am sitting on my favorite thrift store find my 1950's atomic chair. It has little lightning bolts all over the fabric and of course the perfect teal color as well. I made the amoeba pillow cover. The fabric is part of the Mad Mod collection by Ragnar. It is out of print but can still be found on ebay or etsy. In the background is a clock and pole lamp I won at an auction. All three pieces together cost less than $20. Woohoo!

It's Window Shopping Night - My Etsy Kitchen favorites from the 1950's. 

WAHM's of the 1950's - Work At Home Mom's the 1950's Way.

Recently my 9 year old daughter asked me if I "worked". I happily told her "Yes, I do". I am responsible for all the up keep of the home, as well as her laundry, meals, shopping and cleaning and much more. So yes, it's work. She then reminded me that I have sold on Ebay and Etsy for a long time. Yes, I've been selling "stuff" online for a long time, but mainly vintage. It's been almost 15 years since I started on Ebay way back when. I remember Etsy when it first started and had only a few hundred shops. I have actually not ever really considered myself a WAHM, A.K.A work at home mom who actually earns income. It was just something I did, or do. In my former marriage there was not a lot of financial stability and that just became something I did to make ends meet. To pay a bill, to buy kids clothing, ect. However small or large, many women who are SAHM's go on to actually earn income and are WAHM's as well. Like myself. Maybe we should be called "SWAHM's".
