Favorite Item of Clothing

"What is your favorite article of clothing?" is the question today for the Summer Blog Challenge. Being that I spend the majority of time at home, I like clothes that are comfortable. I don't have any one item of clothing that stands out as a favorite...rather, I like one type of clothing the best: pajama pants.

Why?

When I'm homeschooling and we're doing activities where I know I'm going to get my clothes dirty (e.g., cooking, baking, painting), I don't want to do that in clothes that I potentially could ruin.

I would much rather wear inexpensive clothes that could get stained or ripped, and it doesn't matter.

I made Rosemary Focaccia for dinner one night.

The recipe is included in the post about the focaccia (see the link above).

The majority of my pajama pants I can pick up at a local thrift shop for $1.50-$2.00. I don't have to worry about damaging something that is more expensive than that.

Both she and Olivia had a lot of fun doing this activity.

Sophia and Olivia see me more relaxed when we're doing "messy" projects, conducting science experiments, and making food in the kitchen. 

I outlined Olivia's hand in oil pastels and then she colored in.

That's how I want them to remember me...relaxed and not upset if my clothes get dirty or torn.
