I love this, Jane! And I keep my aprons hanging up right inside my pantry for easy access. (Yes, aprons, plural. I have my favorite go-to apron, a piecemeal and worn out one I got in Uganda years ago, my craft (painting) apron, and the aprons my hubs and I got at our cooking class in Italy. We wear them when we are making home made pesto and Gnocchi). They actually DO help me put on a joyful, serving attitude because of the memories that accompany them!
I typically put an apron on to cook, but love this rhythm of using the physical habit to pray for my time in the kitchen and to slow down enough to bring my children into what can be sweet memories. Excited to read this book!!

Yay for apron joy!
I had never thought about aprons that way before...
I hadn’t before either, Rachael. Who knew that a disregarded apron could tweak our thinking?!

Thank you, Taylor! Your comment has really encouraged me.
I find physical reminders are helpful too, to live and love in the moment and take notice of His presence. Aprons can do that!
