A is for Apron

I am trying something new for a while. A friend of mine suggested taking a blogging break. It seems my kids need me more right now and blogging is (sadly) the most dispensable of my activities. I think my official sabbatical will be June and July, but I'll be "winding down" a bit in May...moving away from the heavy hitting. I am going to TRY to keep up with alphabe-Thursdsay each week, but I'll be keeping it simple (what else) and hopefully giving you a little glimpse into the child's brain at the same time. Each week I will ask her to help me find an object in our house that starts with that week's letter. It has to be a physical object that I can photograph, and they will all be her ideas. Disclaimer - photographer I am not...

When I asked her to help me think of an A word, she said, "How about apron?"
"Which one?" I asked (we have several.)
"Mine. Yours are all boring!"
I see. So here is a hastily snapped photo of her apron, the one her dear Grandma sent. We use it for baking and also for art projects. I love that it is wipe-able. She evidently finds it non-boring.

Too cute! I love the wipeable aprons for children because they can be used for so many different things besides cooking. Wonderful post!

I love her apron, too, hopefully with some time off we will put it to lots of good use this Summer!
Having your daughter be involved with the Alphabet blogging is great! The two you will some more 'quality time' that way. I can tell that she likes LADY BUGS and finds them NOT BORING. Got me wondering now what she will come up with for the "B."

I'm curious what she will come up for for each letter. I hope we can stick with it. I'm excited to collaborate with her. Thanks for stopping by, Jim.

I will miss you but I know that I have slowed down alot on my blog and I am going to only post a few photos and that should not take too long. I also spend time looking at
Pinterest! Have a wonderful weekend!

yes - hopefully she'll get more involved as we go along. Thanks, Anita...
That's cool and fun apron! Hopefully you can balance blogging and life activities also.
turtles! very cute apron.

thanks for your visit to my alphabe-thursday. I hope you have a sweet day.
Wow! She's right! That is an adorable and fun apron!

I think mine are all pretty boring, too. Might be time to make a few new ones around here!

Thanks for a cute link! It will be fun to see what she selects through the Alphabet!

A+
Aprons are lovely things of the past. I have never been able to adapt to wearing one. The front of my shirt works very much like an apron I've found, only I don't have pockets. lol Great 'A' post!
Taking a break now and then is a good thing, methinks. I tend to keep too many balls in the air all at one...and then I wonder why I feel tired. :)
I miss my apron when I'm new in the kitchen and still experimenting dishes. Its already burn when I put it on the stove and my son accidentally turn it on.
I love wearing aprons around the house, especially if my clothes don't have pockets.
