My friend, Mrs. Monise tagged me for this fun homemaking meme. Here are my answers as well as some pictures....
Aprons – Y/N? If Y, what does your favorite look like? Yes, I wear an apron while baking. My favorite apron is this vintage patchwork one. It's very tiny. I'm pretty sure I couldn't get it around my left leg! ;0)
Baking – Favorite thing to bake: Looking at my recipe section in the sidebar, I’d have to say desserts!
Clothesline – Y/N? Yes, but I don’t use it like I thought I would. It does make a wonderful photo prop as seen in the apron photo! :0)
Donuts – Have you ever made them? I love donuts but I’m too scared of deep frying to make them.
Every day – One homemaking thing you do every day: Sweep the kitchen floor.
Freezer – Do you have a separate deep freeze? No
Garbage Disposal – Y/N? Yes. I have a special knack for clogging them up too. Just ask Phillip!
Handbook – What is your favorite homemaking resource? Home Comforts by Cheryl Mendelson.
Ironing – Love it or hate it? Not a fan.
Junk drawer – Y/N? Where is it? In the kitchen. Isn't this a requirement in every home?!
Kitchen – Color and decorating scheme- Yellow walls, oak cupboards, lots of tea cups and teapots. You can see pictures in my sidebar.
Love – What is your favorite part of homemaking? When everything is nice and clean and I even have a plan for dinner!
Mop – Y/N? I do not own a mop. I clean the kitchen floor on my hands and knees with a cloth.
Nylons – Wash by hand or in the washing machine? Machine. It has a “wash by hand” setting though!
Oven – Do you use the window or open the oven to check? Open the oven. Bad, I know.
Pizza – What do you put on yours? Mushrooms and black olives.
Quiet – What do you do during the day when you get a quiet moment? Read or play the piano.
Recipe card box –I have one but never use it. I print my recipes out and put them in three-ring binders.
Style of house? One story, brick. 1800 square feet.
Tablecloths and napkins-I have several tablecloths and runners. I have cloth napkins but use paper ones too. My tablecloths are in a basket in the laundry room.
Under the kitchen sink – Organized or toxic wasteland? Organized.
Vacuum – How many times per week? Several times, as needed. Vacuuming might be my favorite chore.
Wash – How many loads of laundry do you do per week? Hmmm.....5-8. All the laundry (except dishcloths and towels) go into these 3 laundry bags in my bathroom. It looks like I'm washing reds next!
X’s – Do you keep a daily list of things to do that you cross off? Sometimes on paper, I always have a list in my head.
Yard – Y/N? Who does what? I do the gardening. I also love to trim the shrubs and bushes. Phillip cuts the grass.
Spring time comes early in Texas. Today, I saw some Irish moss peeking up out of the ground.
Zzz’s – What is your last homemaking task for the day before going to bed? Make sure all the doors are locked. Sometimes I check twice. :0)
Thanks for reading my homemaking meme. If you would like to play too, consider yourself tagged! Be sure to let me know, so I can come read yours!

That was fun Kelli!
Kelli~ I was going through your past posts and you have a FANTASTIC blog!! Oh my goodness, some great ideas, and your pictures are so well taken. I can never seem to get the hang of taking pictures that nicely.
Your kids are so adorable too.
Im really enjoying your blog. May I add it to my favorite links once my template is completed?

Enjoy your day!

Fun meme Kelli!
I have a laundry sorter like that too and I'm so happy I got it. I do like to hang my clothes outside when the weather permits!
I haven't done this meme, but may at some point..I'll let you know!
:)
I so enjoyed your meme--you and I got tagged together, or I would have tagged you:) I love how you put pictures with it, very nice:)

Hey Kelli! Hope you had a pleasant weekend! I am glad you did this meme thing. I did last week, but the way I am addicted to posting things, you may not have seen it. Here is the link, if you are interested.

I love that you added photos in certain areas. That was a GREAT idea! I love that patchwork apron too! Do your girls get to wear that one? So cute!
How did you learn all these homemaking things?! My mom doesn't even know a single recipe, so I am learning slowly but surely! But I can do nothing like you - no baking, no canning, no crafts, no sewing!
You are talented!!!
Hi Kelli:-) So enjoyed reading your answers to this meme...about the ironing, I'm not a big fan of it either! LOL I was tagged by someone else for this meme so I'll have to get at it soon. Hugs xox
What a pretty vintage apron you have!
Thanks for sharing all those interesting "homemaking" details... ;-))
Kelli, please tell me that the picture you showed was NOT your junk drawer? I true junk drawer is a heap of tangled rubber bands, crayons, light bulbs, batteries, tape measures, etc. Not a neat drawer with a cute white bin with some misc. items. =)
That was a fun meme! I mop my floors on my hands and knees too. It's amazing what you find. I love the apron!
Hey I enjoyed that as much as the 5 senses! Cool!
Kelli, I commented earlier, but tonight I looked at all the photos on the list for a "tour" of your home. Everything is lovely and I must comment! Wonderful blog!
This was a fun post to read! Baking desserts is my favorite too!
You certainly do have a wonderful knack for this whole blog-thing! I love checking out your blog - and I can't wait to try the banana crumb muffins! Yummy!
Kelli, I did it. My first meme ever. I enjoyed yours as well.
Kelli, Flora posted a baked donut recipe on her blog a while back. I wish you would try it out and tell me how it is. lol. Frying sure makes a mess in the kitchen
Marci, I like to think of our garage as one giant junk drawer..LOL We're working on it!

Hi Kelli,
I like this meme and will be putting it together for next week. I'll come back and tell you when it's up. This was a fun one.
Hi Kelli, I'm here from Revee's blog. So nice to meet you! I found a picture of your lovely patchwork apron. How exciting! I purchased two in that design from eBay this winter and have them posted on my blog. Mine are of a lighter color scheme, but the placement of the blocks is identical. How interesting to find another. . .
