Rules: Answer the following questions related to homemaking and then tag 3 people. Don’t forget to link to the person who tagged you and let the people you tag know they have been tagged.
Aprons โ Y/N? If Y, what does your favorite look like?
I have one from when I was a busser at a restaurant and one from my pampered bride party. If I actually wore them regularly I might someday make or buy a real one.
Baking โ Favorite thing to bake
anything tasty. I make good rolls and cookies though.
Clothesline โ Y/N?
no. I don’t like the feel of clothes dried on a line.
Donuts โ Have you ever made them?
no
Every day โ One homemaking thing you do every day,
Dishes, almost everyday, or wiping down the table and counters.
Freezer โ Do you have a separate deep freeze?
No. not enough room
Garbage Disposal โ Y/N?
Yes.
Handbook โ What is your favorite homemaking resource?
Um, Andrea said our mom, so I would agree with her. I’m not very good at reading instructions unless it’s baking.
Ironing โ Love it or hate it?
I don’t mind it, but I did it for so long growing up that Jon doesn’t like to have me iron his things.
Junk drawer โ Y/N? Where is it?
Yes. I have several. There’s the kitchen junk drawer and my computer desk junk drawer and I use to have dresser junk drawer, but it’s now been reduced to a box.
Kitchen โ Color and decorating scheme?
uh still deciding, maybe someday it will get done.
Love โ What is your favorite part of homemaking?
I think I have a long way to go to be a bonafide homemaker. Sure I sew, cook, clean, but nothing in a very timely manner.
Mop โ Y/N?
I dislike it. Only because I have so much to mop and the water gets yucky and it gets dirty the moment the girls wake up.
Nylons โ Wash by hand or in the washing machine?
Wash in a lingerie bad in the machine and air dry.
Oven โ Do you use the window or open the oven to check?
I have no window so I open.
Pizza โ What do you put on yours?
pineapple and ham
Quiet โ What do you do during the day when you get a quiet moment?
Sleep and watch tv, other wise I have things that need to be read for church or for book club, and those take brain power.
Recipe card box โ Y/N? What does it look like?
no box, just a folder that needs to be organized
Style of house โ What style is your house?
uh, I would say I live in a library full of crumbs. Is that a style? Add kid toys and free furniture and there you have our house. (We have bought our couch though.)
Tablecloths and napkins โ Y/N?
HA…no and when I get a table cloth it will probably be a vinyl one and I don’t think those really count, they’re so not cloth.
Under the kitchen sink โ Organized or toxic wasteland?
Uh kinda organized.
Vacuum โ How many times per week?
uh, weekly doesn’t always happen.
Wash – How many loads of laundry do you do per week?
at least 2 kids, 1 colors, 1 whites and 1 towels/sheets.
X’s โ Do you keep a daily list of things to do that you cross off?
ha…no
Yard โ Y/N? Who does what?
I think we have a yard, that is why we bought this house. Jon does all the work and I sometimes lay out on it and enjoy the evening weather.
Zzz’s โ What is your last homemaking task for the day before going to bed?
um, I usually have the girls clean up their messes. Does that count? Sometimes I sew if I have a project that I need to finish, but dinner is usually the last homemaking thing I do and sometimes dishes.
Um I’m not gonna tag anyone. I think I have Anna on my list of people who have not done this and who blogs semi regularly, but atlas she’s on vacation and away from electronics.
