homemaking meme

February 15, 2007 By: amyswanderingcomment

This looked fun so I thought I’d give it a try. If you want to do a list too, leave a comment so we can check it out!

Aprons – Y/N?
No, but I might consider it. I had no idea so many people still wore aprons until I started reading blogs.

Baking – Favorite thing to bake:
pumpkin bread

Clothesline – Y/N?
No, it is against our homeowner association regulations (which is ridiculous considering we live on an acre on the outskirts of town).

Donuts – Have you ever made them?
Only if poking a hole in canned biscuits and frying them counts as making donuts.

One homemaking thing you do every day:
cook meals

Freezer – Do you have a separate deep freeze?
yes

Garbage Disposal – Y/N?
yes

Handbook – What is your favorite homemaking resource?
the internet and my mother-in-law

Ironing – Love it or hate it?
I don’t hate it, but I do it as little as possible. We just throw wrinkled clothes in the dryer with a damp washcloth for everyday wear.

Junk drawer – Y/N? Where is it?
yes, in the kitchen

Kitchen: Design & Decorating?
birdhouses

Love: What is your favorite part of homemaking?
I love to make my home a festive, fun place to be. My mom filled our home with laughter & celebration, and I want my children to have the same memories.

Mop – Y/N?
Yes, although our favorite method doesn’t involve a mop, but 5 pairs of socks. I got the idea from Michelle.

Nylons – Wash by hand or in the washing machine?
throw them away (I know, wasteful, but I rarely wear them & they are cheap)

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

Pizza – What do you put on yours?
sausage & green olives

Quiet – What do you do during the day when you get a quiet moment?
I go find out what my two youngest are getting into – that’s the only time it’s quiet.

Recipe card box – Y/N
No, but I do have a recipe notebook. I find most of my recipes on the internet & print them out.

Style of house –
I have no idea- traditional? red brick & black roof

Tablecloths and napkins – Y/N?
I usually have a seasonal table cloth, but we use paper napkins. I think I am going to try Shannon’s idea soon.

Under the kitchen sink – Organized or toxic wasteland?
Toxic wasteland. In addition to the usual toxins, I now keep our peanut butter & bubble bath under there.

Vacuum – How many times per week
every day

Wash – How many loads of laundry do you do a week?
at least 10

X’s – Do you keep a daily list of things to do and cross them off?
not usually

Yard – Who does what?
HaHaHa….oh, sorry. What I meant to say was Hubby is in charge of the grass & garden, & the kiddos are in charge of leaving their toys & bikes everywhere putting away their toys & bikes. I am in charge of whining about how hot it is and choosing which beautiful plants we will be killing this season.

Zzz’s – What is your last homemaking task for the day before going to bed?
Making sure all toys & shoes are put away so the dogs don’t have a party after we go to bed.

step away from the peanut butter

February 15, 2007 By: amyswandering1 Comment

Hubby called me from work this morning with an urgent request to check the peanut butter. Turns out both jars in our pantry are part of the peanut butter recall.

Then my sister sent me this article about toxic children’s bath products.

So, anyone up for learning how to make your own peanut butter & soap? I actually have a recipe for peanut butter soap, so we can kill 2 birds with 1 stone… or I guess we could also kill them with a PB&J sandwich and a bubble bath.
