A-Z

 

I saw this MEME on Victorious’ blog… looked like fun:

 

Aprons? I do have one, but I seldom wear it.  I should try to though, b/c I am forever staining my favorite shirts!  I made FOUR for my dear friend, Tanya for Christmas.


Baking-Favorite thing to bake? I don’t bake often, but I do like cookies.  My husband and middle son are the bakers in the family and they make delicious chocolate chip cookies.


Clothesline -Y/N?  No, my dh doesn’t like them.

 

Donuts-Ever made them? Yes, when dh and I were first married and didn’t yet have children we used to bake together a lot.  We made donuts, bagels, cinnamon rolls, etc.


Everyday-One homemaking thing you do everyday? LOTS of laundry!


Freezer-Do you have a separate deep freezer? Thankfully, YES!  We use it quite a bit!  It is an upright, so it takes up a lot less space and it’s in our garage.


Garbage Disposal-Y/N? Yes, we had none in the apartment we lived in while our house was being built and I was really glad to have one again…  except for when I was repotting some flowers and got dirt into it…  YIKES!


Handbook-What is your favorite Homemaking resource? I am not sure I actually have a favorite homemaking BOOK, but I do enjoy the resource of MOMYS.COM!

Ironing-Love it or Hate it? I don’t really like it, but my dh wears a button down shirt and tie to work everyday, so I have learned to do it as a blessing to him.

 

Junk Drawer-Where is it? We have several throughout the house, but the main one is in the kitchen.


Kitchen-Design and decorating? My kitchen opens towards the breakfast nook and living room on one side and towards the dining room on the other side.  There is a pretty ledge that has a fake ivy vine and other than that the kitchen decorations change seasonally.  I have pretty dish towels and table linens for each season.  Right now we have out the pink, blue and yellow pastels.


Love-What is your favorite part of homemaking? When the house is clean and bright and fresh smelling!  My favorite scent in the world is CLEAN!


Mop-Y/N?  Yes, but I am doing it less and less as my oldest daughter becomes adept at it.

Nylons- I only wear them to church.

 

Oven-Do you use the window or open it to check? I open it!


Pizza-What do you put on yours? I love “Hawaiian” pizza, but when we make homemade we put a lot of veggies…  yellow squash, mushrooms, black olives, etc.


Quiet-What do you do during the day when you get a quiet moment? Quiet? The only QUIET in my house is QUIETcajun!  LOL…  no really, I crochet, read, or go blog hopping!


Recipe Card Box-Y/N? Yes, it’s yellow and has a big thick rubberband around it to prevent all the cards from spilling out… AGAIN!  

Style Of House / What style is your house? Our house is 3200 sq.ft. house.  I don’t know what to call the style of it. I think its pretty classy and is in a nice neighborhood.  We waited for years to have this home and God really delivered an amazing blessing to us!  We have 5 bedrooms, a sewing room, a school room, an exercise room, 3 full bathrooms (one with a laundry room in it), a dining room, kitchen, living room and breakfast nook and a two car garage.  We only have ¼ of an acre of property, but we are okay with that!


Tablecloths and napkins- yep…  I like seasonal changes.  We use paper napkins, but have lots of tablecloths!


Under the sink – Shaklee cleaners, microfiber cleaning towels, plastic bags, garbage bags, stuff like that!


Vacuum-How many times a week? Only once a week, but it needs it more often! I am scared to turn this responsibility over to the children b/c vacuum cleaners are sooooo expensive!


Wash - How many loads do you do a week? I do 2 to 3 loads of laundry a day…  so I’d say 18-21 MINIMUM!


X's-Do you keep a list of things to do and check them off? I keep a to-do list in my Homeschool Planner.  And yes, I check them off.  I am pretty good about it most of the time.


Yard-Who does what? Mostly the children do the yardwork…  of course, my hubby does the big stuff…  like adding our new lamp posts!

 

ZZZ-What is your last homemaking task for the day? Cleaning the bathroom counter one last time after brushing my teeth at night!

My name is Christina. I am 38 years old and have been happily married to my best friend, Russ for over 18 years! My username is quietcajun, but I am neither quiet, nor cajun! The nickname is based on my children's initials! The first four children are: Kaitlyn (16), Jordan (14 next month), Ian (12.5), and Noah (10 next month)... put their first intials together and you get KJIN (cajun). Sarah Hope is one of our babies in Heaven and Hannah (8 in September) is my youngest (so far). Put S and H together and you get SH as in SHHHH... QUIET. Get it? Thus, quietcajun! We are in our 12th year of homeschooling. We have tried public school, but we soon realized how important it is that they be HOME at all costs. Now we are back to having them all home again! It's not always easy, but it is for the BEST! Two of our children have Asperger's Syndrome. That is an adventure in itself. We are still learning! This blog is a place for me to sort out the daily joys and challenges of life as a mother and wife as I strive to love and know God more and bring GLORY to HIM in EVERY part of my LIFE!!!!
