Everytime Hubby and I have big cooking or baking projects going on we each wear an apron. I have quite a collection, and so does he. We tend to use the plain ones when we are doing a big-cook to freeze or for canning or the week, but when we are entertaining, I always wear one of my cute one (of which I have a dozen… I think I may have a slight problem), and just take it off when we are ready to eat. It keeps me clean and neat!
