Housekeeping Meme

From Celeste
APRON:
I don't own one, otherwise I would wear it. I tend to get really messy in the kitchen!

BAKING:
Baking is one of my absolute favorite things to do. I love to bake anything and everything - fresh breads, cookies, cakes, pies, you name it! We bake cookies or brownies at least twice a week!

CLOTHESLINE – Y/N?:
No, and I don't think that I would want one. I love my modern appliances - I am kind of spoiled that way.

DONUTS – Have you ever made them?:
Yep, about once a month we make fresh donuts. I remember my Mom making them and how fun it was, so I try to let the boys watch. I am currently trying to get creative with different glazes.

EVERY DAY – One homemaking thing you do every day:
Run a load of laundry, load of dishes, and clean boys' bathroom toilet.

FREEZER – Do you have a separate deep freeze?:
No. This is something that I would really like to have.

GARBAGE DISPOSAL – Y/N?:
Oh yes! Like Celeste, I am also a disposal-aholic.

HANDBOOK – What is your favorite homemaking resource?:
I really like Flylady.

IRONING – Love it or hate it?:
I don't necessarily hate it, I just don't do it. I call it from lack of time. If I had infinte time available (HA HA) I probably wouldn't mind ironing.

JUNK DRAWER – Y/N? Where is it?:
In the kitchen, and it drives me nuts. I cannot ever find anything in it. I am currently looking at a practical solution to this area.

KITCHEN: Design & Decorating?:
When it is as clean as I like it, I call the decorating style casual/traditional. Warm colors (with an accent of bright yellow/blue) and clean lines.

LOVE: What is your favorite part of homemaking?:
Cooking.

MOP - Y/N?:
I try, but this usually only happens once a month. I wish I could get it up to once a week - it needs it!

NYLONS - Wash by hand or in the washing machine?:
This is really bad - I never wear the same pair twice. I have even bought expensive "no run" nylons, only to have then still rip the first wear. So I buy a bunch of cheap ones, don't wear them too often, and if they rip (usually the case!) I throw them out.

OVEN - Do you use the window, or open the door to check?:
I use the window.

PIZZA - What do you put on yours?:
Everything but sausage. My dislike of pizza sausage comes from my own Mom.

QUIET - What do you do during the day when you get a quiet moment?:
Read, or get on the computer. If in the evening, I love untimed baths!

RECIPE CARD BOX - Y/N?:
Yep, it has all of my favorites!

HOUSE STYLE:
The surveyor classified it as contemporary architecture. The inside is a bright open floor plan with lots of windows.

TABLECLOTHS AND NAPKINS - Y/N?:
I used to, until the boys were old enough to keep them piled on the floor instead of on the table. I gave them up, but hope to return to them someday. We do use them for nice dinners and holidays.

UNDER THE KITCHEN SINK - Organized or toxic wasteland?:
Absolute mess!

VACUUM - How many times per week?:
Once a week. I really should more with jonathan ready to crawl, but he is scared to death of the vacuum, so I can only endure the screaming fit once a week.

WASH - How many loads of laundry do you do a week?:
We are up to 8, even with our super capacity washer.

X's - Do you keep a daily list of things to do and cross them off?:
All in my head.

YARD - Who does what?:
Colin does all of the lawn work. I do all of the garden and flower beds/weeding.

ZZZZ's - What is your last housekeeping task for the day?
I put the dinner leftovers away and if I fold clothes that day (I should every day, but I don't always), this is when it gets done.
