Homemaking Meme

I found this one at The Markmiller 5.

Aprons – Yes or No? If Yes, what does your favorite look like?
Yes! I have three white butcher aprons. But I intend to get my oven mitts on something that looks a little nicer in time for National Wear an Apron Day!


Baking – Favorite thing to bake
Breads, brownies, scones....I love to bake.


Clothesline – Yes or No?
YES! I have a really big one in the backyard that can hold 3 tubs of laundry at once. For winter, I have a few short lines in the basement for those things that I absolutely will not put in the dryer.


Donuts - have you ever made them?
No.

Every day – One homemaking thing you do every day
I always make our bed.


Freezer – Do you have a separate deep freeze?
Yes.

Garbage Disposal – Yes or No?
No.

Handbook – What is your favorite homemaking resource?
The Internet. Specifically, Family Corner.

Ironing – Love it or hate it? Or hate it but love the results?
It's not too bad, especially if I can watch TV while I do it. I like to iron in batches instead of one item at a time.

Junk drawer – Yes or No? Where is it?
My whole desk is one big junk drawer.
I also have several in the dining room.

Blue and white. No "decorating scheme" unless you consider Small and Crowded to be a scheme.

Love – What is your favorite part of homemaking?
Feeding my family.

Mop – Yes or No?
Only because I have to for sanitary reasons.

In the washer, when I MUST wear them, but I dry them on the line.

I usually open it up.

Recipe card box – Yes or No? What does it look like?
I have a binder (5X8) that sits on top of a 2-drawer card box, on this cool easel setup. It was handmade by high school students in a vo-tech high school where my mom used to teach.

1960s split level (ewwww! But it's home.)

When the debris shows, I vacuum.

Wash – How many loads of laundry do you do per week?
At least 2 a day.

Sometimes. And I'll admit to writing things on the list, just so I can cross them off.

I don't do the yard.

Zzz’s – What is your last homemaking task for the day before going to bed?
Start the dishwasher.
