Grandma’s Apron
Author Unknown
When I used to visit Grandma.
I was very much impressed,
by her all-purpose apron,
and the power it possessed.For Grandma, it was every day
to choose one when she dressed.
The strings were tied and freshly washed,
and maybe even pressed.
you would never think about;
the things she used it for,
that made it look worn out.
She used it for a basket,
when she gathered up the eggs,
and flapped it as a weapon,
when hens pecked her feet and legs.
She used it to carry kindling
when she stoked the kitchen fire.
And to hold a load of laundry,
or to wipe the clothesline wire.
She used it for a hot pad,
to remove a steaming pan,
and when her brow was heated,
she used it for a fan.
It dried our childish tears,
when we’d scrape a knee and cry,
and made a hiding place
when the little ones were shy.
Farm produce took in season,
in the summer, spring and fall,
found its way into the kitchen
from Grandma’s carry all.
When Grandma went to heaven,
God said she now could rest
I’m sure the apron she chose that day,
was her Sunday best.

I admit it. I’m a list-maker. I like to make lists of what’s for dinner, l what I need to do today, what I need to pick up at the store, what I want to do in the future. You name it, I list it ~grin~
I wanted to share with you about Motivated Moms planners. I have heard of these before, but had not purchased it. I know… I’m cheap. $8 for a planner seemed like a lot. Ha! It really isn’t, though, at least not for this planner. AND…. it’s half off because the year is half over! So, if you are interested in taking a peek at her other items, this may be the time to give them a spin. Then you’ll know if you want to go back and spend the extra $4 later.
She has check off boxes for daily and weekly tasks. They rotate week to week. These are a great starter kit for anyone wanting to jump start their daily schedule.
Some items she has are:
- Full Size Planner
- Half Size PlannerFull Size Planner with Bible Reading Schedule (I wish I had tried this one out)
- Half Size Planner
- Half Size Planner with Bible Reading Schedule
Let me know if you end up purchasing one of these that I don’t have. I’d like to know what you think… or if you already have one that I don’t have, would love to hear.

Filling out that form got me to wondering…. Do you have a name for your homeschool? If so, what is it? Ours is Home of Higher Learning. I’d love to hear yours!
