ABC's of Homemaking 

Aprons – Y/N? If Y, what does your favorite look like?

No, used to whenever baking but not so much anymore although I do think they are cute.

Baking – Favorite thing to bake

Bread.....yeast and quick

Clothesline – Y/N?

No, don't even have one. Although I would like one for bedding.

 Donuts – Have you ever made them?

Yes, if you count using an apple corer on biscuit dough, dropping them into a fry daddy and then rolling them in cinnamon and sugar....yum!

Every day – One homemaking thing you do every day.

hands down dishes wins.

Freezer – Do you have a separate deep freeze?

Yes, couldn't live without it, where else could we put all the venison?!

Garbage disposal- Y/N-

Yes but have never used it...bad for the septic.

Handbook – What is your favorite homemaking resource?

 Hmmmm, the internet.

Ironing – Love it or hate it? Or hate it but love the results?

 Confession time....I just bought an ironing board and iron this winter :O

Junk drawer – Y/N? Where is it?

 Yes, antique dresser by our front door.

Kitchen – Color and decorating scheme

 What was the color called.....can't remember but it's a beigey color with a cranberry accent wall and deep green trim and I like a rustic country look....like my pie cupboard with tin doors.

Love – What is your favorite part of homemaking?
 

Trying to have a warm, cozy place to be. 

Mop – Y/N?

Yes...if you know a way around it let me know. I didn't know this could be optional!


Nylons – Wash by hand or in the washing machine?

 washing machine....when a pair actually survives without holes!

Oven – Do you use the window or open the oven to check?

I open the door....I keep the light on for the kids to look in though.

Pizza – What do you put on yours?

Pepperoni or Italian sausage and green peppers

 Quiet – What do you do during the day when you get a quiet moment?

Lately...computer or read something curriculum related (convention is next week!)

Recipe card box – Y/N? What does it look like?

I have a few things but I took my most used, separating them by meals and desserts, then copied them onto index cards and put them on a ring to keep them together. Has worked wonderfully.

Style of house – What style is your house?

Rancher :(  

Tablecloths and napkins – Y/N?

 No Tableclothes....I like my old handmade wooden table....every nook and cranny! Only paper napkins.

Under the kitchen sink – Organized or toxic wasteland?

 Semi-organized. I clean it out once or twice a year.

Vacuum – How many times per week?

 Way to many and yet not enough! Daily or every other. You know, according to my carpet installer it should be once a week for every member of the house so I should be vacuuming 8X a week!

Wash – How many loads of laundry do you do per week?

I would say 20+. I'm talking full loads too. The big question is how many hours a week do you fold?

X’s – Do you keep a daily list of things to do that you cross off?

No, only for special occasions/holidays..

 Yard – Y/N? Who does what?

 Yes, it is mostly hubby's territory although I do like to mow. I am often out cleaning up clutter/toys more often. He has also taken control of the garden so far.

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

dishwasher/switch over laundry/laying out clothes for the next day.

Leave me a note if you fill this out....fun info!
