I Love My Aprons

(This post contains affiliate links. Read my full disclosure.)

Let’s pour a cup of tea and swap apron stories for a bit, shall we?

I’ll cut a slice of homemade bread and get out the raspberry freezer jam.

And then, if dinner-time’s a-comin’, I’ll tie on an apron and you can keep me company while I cook.

Sound good?

  1. Oh! I used to have a Baby Björn bib like those on your countertop when I was little. I remember them as being just splendid; all the spaghetti and sauce that mysteriously “got lost” on the way up to your mouth could later be retrieved and eaten from the bib =) =)

    As soon as Kieran gets old enough to have solid foods, we’ll get him one of those =)

  2. How fun to see you delighting in the word and whimsy! It made me smile to see you having so much fun.

    Thank you, too, for linking to my post…I just had to let you know how much I appreciate it! 🙂

  3. You’re so cute! 🙂 I love all the green…especially the green kettle…and the green hair ribbon (you’re so lucky you have red hair! :)). And great quotes… 🙂
