The ABC's of Homemaking

Aprons–y/n If y, what does your fave look like?
Sometimes.  I love the look of being a mom in an apron, but in my need to get things done, I don't always remember to put one on.
Baking–Favorite thing to bake?
I've been thinking of getting some holiday baking going here soon.  That's my favorite.  All the cookies and treats that taste like family history.  And I love making cinnamon rolls too.
Clothes line?
Yes. I love looking out the kitchen window and seeing our clothes on the line.

Donuts–Have you ever made them?
Yes. Nothing like a homemade donut.  It's been awhile though.

Everyday–One homemaking thing you do every day?
Pick up, pick up, pick up.  With two little ones, it's a never ending battle.

Yes.  And I LOVE it!  It gives us the freedom to stock up on the little extras that others pass our way.

Garbage Disposer?
Yes. Love that too.

Handbook–What is your favorite homemaking resource?
The whole internet!

Yes, under the microwave.  It's a scary place.

Normal.  :-)  I don't know.

It just to be organized, but I have an obsession with cleaning supplies so it's getting a little crazy under there.

About 4 loads in a week.  We try to keep it to a minimum and I only run full loads.

I loving having a list to cross off.  Keeps me motivated.

We love our backyard.  I do most of the yard work 'cause I love being back there.  There are rose bushes to prune, and a lemon tree to fertilize.  The lawn to mow and leaves to rake.
