Aprons – Y/N? If Y, what does your favorite look like?
Yes. I made several last year, and a friend gave me one. I also got one in the mail from my Amish pen-pal Charlene. The one C gave me is blue and flowery. It is a tie-around-the-waist kind. 2 that I made are very colorful. One has retro colors, is halter style, goes to my knees, has round pockets and is polka-dotted. The other I made is a hiddeous red and orange with the same patter as my retro one. It was my practice apron before the grand finale. Then, I have a jean one. If you remember shop class and your teacher wore a jean apron, yeah, its like that.

Baking – Favorite thing to bake
I absolutely dispise baking/cooking. I have a kitchen only 'cause it came with the place.

Clothesline – Y/N?
YES! I love to hang my clothes out. Its something my daughter and I do on Sundays. She's only 2, but its just lovely to watch her prance around in her dresses with the sun reflecting off of her golden locks while she runs between sheets and stuff.

Donuts – Have you ever made them Y/N?
No way.

Every day – One homemaking thing you do every day
a load of laundry

Garbage Disposal – Y/N?
No

Handbook – What is your favorite homemaking resource?
My pen-pal Charlene sent me a magazine she uses as a helpful resource called "Keepers at Home". I dearly love reading through it, but don't have the $$ for my own subscription. That inspired me to start a homemaking binder of my own. I search and search for homemaking and Christian articles (on the web, in other magazines etc) and add to my binder. I now have two binders. Something I can leave behind for my daughter.

Ironing – Love it or hate it? I hafta be in the mood. Kinda neutral on this one...

Junk drawer – Y/N? Where is it?
I love the junk drawer idea! I have one in my kitchen, and my computer desk drawer is another

Love – What is your favorite part of homemaking?
The smell of freshly applied furniture polish, the smell of line-dried clothing, the smell of a "bleacy" bathroom, the smell of my pumpkin-spice candles when they're on a candle warmer.

Mop – Y/N?
occassionally.


Oven – Do you use the window or open the oven to check?
I have a light on my oven, but I usually just peak by opening the door.

Pizza – What do you put on yours?
sausage, cheese.. the norm.

Recipe card box – Y/N? What does it look like?
No.

Style of house – What style is your house?
A large tradional home that is older but completely re-done on the inside. My decor is done in natural tones with a metro style in some rooms (living room, dining room) and a country theme in my kitchen and downstairs bathroom. My bedroom is a BIG junk drawer, my sewing/craft room is cottage-y, so on and so fourth.

Under the kitchen sink – Organized or toxic wasteland?
TOXIC!

Vacuum – How many times per week?
Once - Sundays.

Wash – How many loads of laundry do you do per week?
Several. Its one of my favorite things to do.

X’s – Do you keep a daily list of things to do that you cross off?
I love lists. I love to make lists, but am not successful at goals. I usually steer off the beaten path. So, I "wing it" but stick to my routine.

Zzz’s – What is your last homemaking task for the day before going to bed?
making sure my clothes and our children's clothes are picked out and laid out for tomorrow.
