~ Homemaker's ABC's.... my first blog meme ~

I have seen this around lately and I had to do my own meme.  Four days and counting for our move and I pray that our electrical inspection happens fast and is accepted first time round.  If not than I might have to visit MIL or even tent it.   So in the light of  not worring here is some more posts done in fun.



Aprons- Y/N?  ....sometimes    I usually use one when I bake .  Especially if  I make  pies or bread.  I hope to be making  one  in the near future with some beautiful fabric that I have that would match my kitchen,  dinning room and living room curtains.  I can't wait. 


Baking- Favorite thing to bake?  ....bread or cinnamon rolls

Clothesline- Y/N?
No but maybe in the future

Donuts- Ever made them?
....Not yet but I hope to soon .  I have always wanted to try the recipe in " The Little House on the Prarie Cook book."


Everyday- One homemaking thing you do everyday?
  ... wash dishes


Freezer- Do you have a separate deep freezer?
  Yep , we  have two  .  We store  alot of food.  We get our meat once a  year.  We freeze  veggies from our garden too.


Garbage Disposal- Y/N? 
..No


Handbook- What is your favorite Homemaking resource?
  ... I don't know but one good book I used for years on ideas to live frugally is....Tightwad Gazzette .

Ironing- Love it or hate it?
...dislike

Junk Drawer- Where is it?...  I am embarrassed to say I have a catchall  in my dinning room.

 

Kitchen- Design and decorating?
  Hmm Im not sure we have a design per say.   But I will show a pic when our counters and sink are in the new house.



Love- What is your favorite part of homemaking?

I tend to focus on the food we eat.  There is something about making my mens tummy's full and pleasing to the tounge.  I also focus on our relationships with each other.  But I will be putting a lot of energy into making our new house a HOME in every sense. 


Mop- Y/N?
Yes  we don't  have carpets  so I mop the whole house.


Nylons-
  not  very often.   Probably  only  when  Handsome and I  go out on a  date.  Otherwise  I use  stretchy  tights  under my skirts.

 


Oven- Do you use the window or open it to check?
  ...open the door  I don't  trust  it otherwise.   I really need to see  it up close . 


Pizza- What do you put on yours?
.... We  tend to like  Canadian  Bacon and  pineapple   or  Greek pizza  which is  a pesto  sause and  goat  feta  and maybe  Greek  olives 

 


Quiet- What do you do during the day when you get a quiet moment?  I have to agree with Tiany .....BLOG! Ha ha Seriosly I read my Bible, read a book , get undone chores finished, return phone calls and or BLOG!


Recipe card box- Y/N?  once again I am the same as Tiany ....No, I have a 3 ring binder with all of my recipes in sheet protectors. (Usually recipes printed off the net)


Style Of house / What style is your house ? I am not sure you will have to tell me. It is a square box set into a hill with hardy plank siding ( cement board that looks like wood siding ( to come once we are done with the inside  of the house) Contemperary  you think ???


 

Tablecloths and napkins... Only on special occations. 

 


Under the kitchen sink... trash can and recycling

Vacuum- How many times a week?.... I don't have carpets any more.  I need to swiffer daily.

Wash- How many loads do you do a week? ... it varies about  1 load a day.

X’s- Do you keep a list of things to do and cross them off ?  ....I  need to .  I probably would  do a lot  better if  I did.   So that should be my next good habit to make.


Yard- Who does what ? ... I will probably be doing the flowers and the guys will work with my Hubby , MIL, and I on the gardening.


ZZZ’s- What is your last homemaking task for the day?  My before bed time routine and straiten up my hotspots  (check out flylady.net ) and do something nice for me.  I use to take a lot soaks in the tub before our issues with our water system.  It was a cheap theraphy  while we had the water.  Maybe again one day soon. ((praying)) 


God Bless my SS'sIC

In Him<><

Your new floors.....the BEST thing to clean them with (My brotherin-law has the Vice Pres Of Prego's home phone # in his wallet so this is a Master Floor craftsman's advice..... Clean them with Windex Plainol Windex and your swiffer cloth will do the best job of caring for your floor. And Laminate DOES NOT like water at all so if it is in the Bathroom, have a mat to stand on and wipe up puddles right away. Ok, that is my bubbe tip for the day...Oh my gosh just two more days! Praise the Lord, Hope your computer is set up quickly! Because Of Jesus, Bobbie

Handsome and I




First , I am a daughter of the King almighty and a a wife to my Handsome of 17 years. A mom of 4 on the go boys 15, 13, 10, and 8. I grew up in the states but married my Canadian sweetheart and moved up north. We live in the southern part of British Columbia , Canada on our homestead. We have homeschooled our four boys from birth and plan to go the distance till all four graduate from our homeschool. I teach with a Charlotte Mason style and use the Heart of Wisdom Approach. I love to craft! I am a beader, knitter, x-stitcher, quilter. We have been on a journey of being apart of building "The House that God Built". I have been recording our journey on my blog. Go to my links and you will find it. I know God has a lot more instore for us and we just need to follow where our Lord takes us.
