Homemaking ABCs

I got this idea from over at The Home Authority. Pretty clever.

1.Aprons – Y/N? If Y, what does your favorite look like?
I offered my grandma an apron. When I handed her one of my ‘older’ ones, she said, “What? I don’t get to wear the new one?”, I realized I was hoarding my special apron from sassyapron on etsy. So I tied it over the one she had already put on
Oh no. This photo was not at all staged. *wink*
