Wearing Dresses and Skirts - Day One (Thursday)
There have been many, in the blogsphere, who have challenged ladies to wear their dresses and take pictures of them doing their day to day tasks in them. I have so enjoyed reading up on the comments, questions asked and responses...it shows me that ladies are trying to go back to being modest and feminine.
I love wearing skirts and dresses! I am a true girlie girl at heart. I just love how skirts and dresses make you just want to float. If you are one who wears pants -- notice the next time you wear a skirt and how all of a sudden your walk starts to change along with the way you carry yourself. Strange but true. I also love that my husband loves to see me in skirts and that he takes extra care when he is around me -- as if I am a delicate flower to be handled gently -- and you know what? I love being that lady for him.
So I thought I too would join in as well and share with you my week of wearing dresses.
Cooking some lunch for my hungry crew - Something else I have been loving here lately is aprons. Before moving up to Kentucky I had purchased a few vintage aprons at an antique shop and have fallen in love with them. Not only do they have a practical side to them by protecting your clothing but the fun is how it just sets the tone for what I'm doing in my day. Call me Betty Crocker or June Cleaver if you want but...
I love my aprons!
Doing my House Blessing - Normally I do this on Mondays but this has been a busy week for Blaine and I. We have been working on the Mar/Apr issue of the magazine so I had to shift my days a bit. I did continue with my spritzing and basics until I knew I could get to blessing our home. Here I'm cleaning the sink...
...with the most adorable apron! Don't knock it till you try it! Magic happens when that apron goes on!
Cleaning the microwave - Man! What a serious look on my face! Must of been some spot! You can also see where we are half way with painting the kitchen. I'm not sure if you can see the difference in color but I can't wait for us to finish the rest in the warmer shade of yellow.
Cleaning the bathroom - This, I must say, is my least favorite job but it has to be done.
Vacuuming - Most of the floors in this house is carpeted so this vacuum gets put to good use. I have a method to my house blessing. First I clean the kitchen and then I move to the bathrooms. From there I vacuum and lastly dust.
By the time I get done vacuuming, especially the stairs...I've had quite the work out! Many complain about having stairs in their house - but not me! I love the fact that I can exercise my legs by going up and down and fighting with the vacuum cleaner on the stairs, well...this just adds to my mini workout!
Dusting - Dusting follows right behind cleaning toilets as my least favorite tasks but...
... I must say I love how the furniture and woodwork looks after I'm done and I'm always glad I did it.
Whew! I'm ready for a coffee break!
Here are a few of Candy's articles on dressing modestly and feminine along with some links to others who have shared pictures of their week in dresses. There are also links to more articles regarding dressing from our sister site LAF.
If you want to join in on taking pictures of your week in dresses/skirts...let me know and I will post your blog to give other ladies ideas and encouragement. (Added Note: I have posted the rest of the days below.)
Love and God's Blessings,
Catherine
