I've seen this meme all over the place, but I believe the first place I saw it was at Tammy's Times. I thought I'd play along, now that it's been going for a while. I'm always late to jump into things! ;)
Aprons- Y/N? Sometimes. I need to wear them more often.
Baking- Favorite thing to bake? Cakes, with pies running a close second
Clothesline- Y/N? No - we live in an apartment complex, and we aren't allowed to have clotheslines.
Donuts- Ever made them? I've made some from canned biscuits (I am so ashamed to write that! LOL) I've never made yeast donuts.
Everyday- One homemaking thing you do everyday? Make the bed - it's the "shiny sink" of my bedroom!
Freezer- Do you have a separate deep freezer? We got a small one last fall, and I am enjoying it tremendously!
Garbage Disposal- Y/N? No
Handbook- Y/N? I have a homemaking binder that I've been working on for a really long time. I need to get it in good working order.
Ironing- Love it or hate it? I don't really enjoy ironing, which is why I have to catch up on it so often!
Junk Drawer- Where is it? In the kitchen. It's not all that bad, though.
Kitchen- Design and decorating? I like my big kitchen, don't like the small appliances. All the walls are white (apartment living), the appliances are white or beige, the cabinets are white. I like apples, fruits, roosters - country things, but not cutesie country - which are my accents, red mostly.
Love- What is your favorite part of homemaking? Cooking
Mop- Y/N? Yes. I use one that has a microfiber cloth that fits over the end. It cleans very well, and I like it much better than traditional mops.
Nylons- Wash them by hand or in the washer? In a mesh lingerie bag in the washer.
Oven- Do you use the window or open it to check? Open that door! I feel like I'm not really seeing the food if I don't open the door and look at it!
Pizza- What do you put on yours? Meats and cheese - my family is not into veggies on their pizza.
Quiet- What do you do during the day when you get a quiet moment? Blog or read blogs
Recipe card box- Y/N? Not any more. Right now I have a pile of papers that I've printed off the internet, that I need to organize into a binder. That would be a fun project!
Style of house- Two-story townhouse, in a row of about 7 others
Tablecloths and napkins- Y/N? Sometimes - I'm trying to get into the habit of having a tablecloth. We use paper napkins at every meal - I can't eat without a napkin!
Under the kitchen sink- I have cleaners, trash bags, and our recycling bin. It's neat right now.
Vacuum- How many times a week? The kids run the vacuum every day, "hitting the middles" as FlyLady would say. I do a thorough job during the Zone week for each room.
Wash- How many loads do you do a week? I do about 6 myself, and the kids do their own.
X’s- Do you keep a list of things to do and cross them off? Yes - it gives me a feeling of accomplishment to see a list all done
Yard- Who does what? Our apartment complex has yard maintenance guys who do the mowing and weed-eating, and we are allowed to do whatever we'd like with our handkerchief-sized back yard. I've had flowers, but no veggie garden, which is something I'd like to do someday.
ZZZ’s- What is your last homemaking task for the day? Pick up the clutter in the living room.
