Buy an apron (or three)

So, yes, I want you to buy an apron. Actually, three is good. Why? Well, number one, if you're going to live the way women did in the 50's, you're going to be in the kitchen a lot, both cooking and cleaning up. You don't want to do either without the protection of an apron. Number two, they make you (me, at least) feel more domestic and productive. Plus, they come in some really cute designs and designate you as the boss of your kitchen!

Every TV mom we ever see in the 50's sitcoms is donning an apron every time she's in the kitchen. This could go back to the fact that we were far more frugal in our living and with our clothing. Like I said before, women knew how to sew and mend anything they wore that was damaged and while washing machines were around, why try to ruin your clothes to get out stains that wouldn't be there with an apron? The apron just makes good sense, like so many things of that generation.

I have one. I need to get at least two more, though. Once it gets used during the day, I have to make sure it's in the wash and dried before tomorrow. The extra two would be most helpful. It's so handy, though. Your hands are wet, you don't need to use your paper towels or dish towel. You just dry them on the apron. And do get one with a pocket or two. You'll be amazed how often you use that!
