The Evil That Lurks in YOUR Kitchen

Enter the Sweetheart Apron giveaway from Carolyn's Kitchen HERE.

Did you know that an evil scourge exists in your kitchen.
YES your kitchen.

But it can easily be destroyed by a modern space age appliance.

Tell me more you say...What is this purveyor of filth and pestilence that lurks in my home?

I can confirm that it looks like this:

Apron Goddesses.......it is your kitchen sponge!

Yes, this sponge bears thousands of pores which are the perfect breeding ground for countless numbers of bacteria, their friends, their extended family and many, many more. This scourge bearing sponge of the kitchen can hold a veritable block party if not properly maintained.

"What to do? What to do?" you lament...

The answer is simple my friends. Use your microwave oven to ZAP the critters every morning. Place your dampened sponge in the microwave and cook it for 1 minute. No more, no less. It's really that easy. The water molecules within the sponge boil and the hot steam that escapes as a vapor fries the bacteria. Or at least that is what I have been told and it totally makes sense. I think the bacterial themselves explode too. Their cells walls likely rupture with the boiling of their cytoplasm.

But I digress with trivial scientific jargon... (I just love saying that).

I usually toss my sponges in the trash every 7 to 10 days anyway, but the bacteria get annihilated through daily radiation. And if you happened to notice the pink earplug resting above the microwave, I use them so I don't have to hear the millions of tiny screams from within the death chamber...ha, ha just kidding.

So go microwave your sponge right now. And don't forget to wear your apron...

Jewelstreet-Winner of the Floral Apron from The Paper Passion

Enter the Sweetheart Apron giveaway from Carolyn's Kitchen HERE.

Here is the beautiful floral apron that Jewelstreet won from The Paper Passion back in week two of TAG. Jewel said, "...my apron arrived! Yippee! It is oh, so fabulous. Here's the pic of me as an apron goddess. lol. Don't know about the goddess part. Sorry if the pic isn't that great. I'm sick and my kid took it this morning at like 7 so I had to do some adjusting..."

My philosophy for TAG is that everybody is welcome and should feel like they can be a Goddess. All women who take care of their kids and families deserve to feel special and great inside. I hope that winners of the apron giveaways all feel a glow when they get their aprons and when they wear them.

Jewel also said, "I made chocolate chip pancakes this morning in honor of first apron. I was going to wear it to take the kid to the bus, but she wouldn't let me. I'm hooked on aprons now, and you can let all your sponsors know I visit each and every one of their sites."

Jewelstreet offers modern, classic jewelery which can be seen at Etsy by clicking HERE.

I think Jewel looks fabulous and should feel awesome in her apron. How about you?

Enter the Sweetheart Apron giveaway from Carolyn's Kitchen HERE.

Today's Apron Goddess for the day is renound Jiggety Jigg blogger Jenni. She has a screamingly popular blog and I am happy she wanted to be shown here too in her fancy apron.

Jenni says, "It is made by Carolyn's Kitchen and I won it in a giveaway from The Dirty Shirt blog! I love it too much to wear it while making anything! But it is hanging in my kitchen as decoration!" But I think she could safely do cooking in it don't you??

Jenni's blog Jiggety Jigg covers everything from Gobstopper addiction to a great interpretation of Honest Scrap! With a tag line of, "You want minutia and nonsense? You've come to the right spot!" you can follow Jenni on twitter and join the ranks of her followers which boast over 200 these days!!! Damn she's good. My favorite apron post of Jenni's is Mission Monday: Baking with Santa where I first saw her sporting her Carolyn's Kitchen apron! And she shows us how HOT Santa looks in an apron too. So please go and visit her right after you check out the giveaway!

What is this???

Enter the Sweetheart Apron giveaway from Carolyn's Kitchen HERE.

Almost daily, I have been anxiously looking down the road for the sight of the large brown UPS truck that frequents our neighborhood, and I wonder when, when, when is my package going to arrive!

Wait a minute, what's this?

Look what arrived in the mail today!

Hmmmm.....I am trying to decide if I look like a cotton candy cow at a camouflage circus or a Holstein who drank a gallon of Pepto Bismol. Well regardless I am liking it!

This apron is very generously cut and will cover me in the event of a explosion of tomato sauce or WWIII with a barbecue. Or I could run through the girl's section of the baby clothes department without detection in this apron. Regardless...

Bring it on!!!

With this totally fun and silly apron I must admit to feeling a little like a goof ball. Finally, lets give some props to my 4 year old son Wyatt who snapped this picture for me. And yes, I wear white mens sock if you were checking...
