Hallie shares this trait with her paternal grandmother, Bennie. Others, like me, don't have that sense of household routine. It has to be established in some other way, such as a list or card file.<br /><Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06105445880440567911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7263840964304974785.post-48884305126471412072012-01-08T10:14:00.700-08:002012-01-08T10:14:00.700-08:00I like a nice schedule and routine.

Most of my chores are weekly, but there are a few that are on an every-other week schedule. This is where I begin to appreciate living in a very small space!Halliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05305271560327301083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7263840964304974785.post-40869867657779604562012-01-06T13:05:22.485-08:002012-01-06T13:05:22.485-08:00I suspect in the old days when women worked at bei...I suspect in the old days when women worked at being homemakers, they developed housework routines. I believe they took a lot of pride in their homes, too. Then they checked up on one another with visitations. (LOL)<br /><br />I laugh, but second sister Joni told me that's pretty much the way it was. As a mid-'50s newlywed, she was an elementary teacher.

I say, strike when the mood hits!!! (I will say it usually doesn't hit often enough, though.) <br /><br />These beautiful days we've been having, however, have inspired me to clean some drawers, organize some cupboards, and generally notice things that need a "hand."

We never used to use much baking powder but those oat bran muffins with no flour call for quite a lot.<br /><br />I wrote Clabber Girl and asked if they could provide info on Hannah Wing.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06105445880440567911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7263840964304974785.post-22465917746513930892012-01-05T20:14:58.710-08:002012-01-05T20:14:58.710-08:00Kathy,

It is the brand I use as it contains no aluminum as does Clabber Girl. <br />Growing up my mom always used Clabber Girl, but she, too now uses Rumford. <br />You can get it at the Co-op I know for sure as that is where I purchase it. It comes in cans or in bulk.<br />Good ideas on organization, too!drMolly, the BeanQueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16925687175799797538noreply@blogger.com
