Found at Enjoy the Journey, created by Sallie at A Gracious Home:
Aprons – Y/N?
No, but I really want one. I can’t cook or wash dishes without wearing food, or becoming COMPLETELY soaked with water.
Baking – Favorite thing to bake:
I love making pancakes and biscuits for the girls, and chocolate chip cookies, of course. 🙂
Clothesline – Y/N?
No yet. I figured out where I want to put one in the backyard – I would love to be able to hang diapers out for some fresh air!
Donuts – Have you ever made them?
Not tried those yet … but I’m a pretty Dunkin’ Donuts fan. It would take a LOT to top their donuts.
Every day – One homemaking thing you do every day:
Wash dishes and pick up toys.
Freezer – Do you have a separate deep freeze?
YES! I love it! Travis gave it to me for Christmas last year, right before we had N2. It has been so great to have as we stockpiled a little right before her arrival.
Garbage Disposal – Y/N?
No.
Handbook – What is your favorite homemaking resource?
So many…
Ironing – Love it or hate it?
I don’t mind it, but I don’t have to do it very often. Only when Travis needs a work shirt pressed, or I want to get rid of some wrinkles in one of the girls’ dresses.
Junk drawer – Y/N? Where is it?
I don’t really have one now that I think of it, unless it is the center/middle drawer of my desk.
Kitchen: Design & Decorating?
The kitchen is very small and out-dated. It’s was painted entirely in white so I’ve been trying to add a little color slowly. As I replace appliances, I usually pick black (we now have a black coffee maker and toaster), and when I need to buy some accessory (like measuring cups, spatulas, baskets) I go for red. Red seems to have become the prevailing accent throughout the house which I like.
Love – What is your favorite part of homemaking?
Being home with the girls, doing laundry, playing, making dinner, having so many days where we never have to leave the house … way to many things to pick just one.
Mop – Y/N?
Not often, but yes.
Nylons – Wash by hand or in the washing machine?
Don’t wear them … I can’t remember the last pair of nylons I bought. If I wear anything, it’s tights.
Oven – Do you use the window or open the oven to check?
Light … because usually when I check there is a little person or two standing there by me and I would rather them NOT fall into the oven when it’s on.
Pizza – What do you put on yours?
Normally, cheese and pepperoni. Occasionally, ham and pineapple. If I’m really lucky, I’ll make me a veggie one with onions, broccoli, olives, etc.
Quiet – What do you do during the day when you get a quiet moment?
Usually work on my church job, check emails. Sometimes read, but then I usually just fall asleep. 🙂
Recipe card box – Y/N?
No – all my recipes are stored on the computer, and I’m working on making a recipe/scrapbook of some of our family favorites.
Style of house –
Um, small? It’s just a regular old house, 2 bedrooms, one bath.
Tablecloths and napkins – Y/N?
No tablecloths … too many little fingers that might pull it off, but we do use cloth napkins. Love that.
Under the kitchen sink – Organized or toxic wasteland?
Totally organized, thanks to my husband.
Vacuum – How many times per week?
Daily, sometimes 2-3 times a day in the summer with the dogs are shedding. It completely grosses me out to have babies on the floor with dog hair. Can.Not.Handle.It.
Wash – How many loads of laundry do you do per week?
At least one load per day, and 3-4 days, I do two loads a day.
X’s – Do you keep a daily list of things to do that you cross off?
YES!
Yard – Y/N? Who does what?
Travis does all of it. I have a black thumb when it comes to plants and, plus, I’ve been pregnant the last few years so mowing the grass in the summer hasn’t really been an option.
Zzz’s – What is your last homemaking task for the day before going to bed?
Dishes at night, usually fixing Travis an evening snack of some kind.
