The book is easy to read, and there are tons and tons of organic remedies included to prevent or help control plant diseases and garden pests
In a nut shell, this book rules, and I love it.
All you have to do to enter this giveaway is leave a comment below and let us know: What’s your favorite day of the week and why?

my favorite day of the week is Saturday morning. why? cause i can sit on my back porch with my husband and have a cup of coffee before my precious grandchildren wake up.
Madam Chow says
My favorite day is Friday – my husband works from home that day, and even though he works hard, I love knowing that he is home and safe and that we have two days together ahead of us.
cheryl middleton says
any day i get to work in my garden is my favorite day of the week
Peggy Stenglein says
I think I like Monday’s the best. First, Monday is the day of our local ag. auction, I can find all sorts of interesting and cheap things there. Plus our school district seems to schedule inservice days on Monday’s, so my girls and I get to sleep in a bit and then they head out to the auction with me, they love it too! After the auction, we go a place across the road from the auction called, The Springhouse. It’s a dairy/really good home baked goodies/country restaurant kind of place, then we go to our family farm out there (Eighty-Four, PA) where I grew up and spend a few hours, I garden, they explore and garden some! Then off to The Country Store, a nearby mom and pop store/lunch shop, which is also home to the most amazing pepperoni rolls ever, that we bring home for my hubby for when he gets home from work. Or to The Mingo Twist, an awesome DQ type of country ice cream shop. Wonderful day, that Monday is! This isn’t every week, maybe once a month, more in summer, but enough for me to like Monday’s best! : )
Becky says
My favorite day for the week is Friday. I get to go home to my wonderful 18 month old son and play in the yard all evening, then spend the night up talking with my husband when he gets home, because we don’t have to get up early the next day. And Fridays are always more fun at work for some reason.
Brooklyn says
I would have to say that my favorite day of the week is sunday;

3)I usually get to ride my horses afterwards with my cousin or i get to work in my garden the rest of the day(SO MUCH FUN!!)
Thanks Mavis for the chance of getting a new book, i personally love getting any type of gardening book or horse book lol so this is an awesome giveaway!!

michelle says
Well this one’s easy. Saturday. Every other is our local knitting group meet up. Also, I get a chance to sleep in & on the kids can run around in their jammies & eat cereal for dinner, if they want to. Sometimes after a long week, that is just what we need!

I guess I will say Saturday, only because my son is off school for the weekend, and since he is home schooled, it means I have the weekend off too!

Robbi Denman says
WOW – how will you EVER choose?!??!? My favorite day of the week is Sunday because usually I can find a huge bank of time after church to do something BIG – like working in the yard, wine tasting, visiting family, hiking, training (I haven’t done Tacoma but I have done Seattle 3 times, Portland and Olympia!) – AND, since I have Monday off, it can be a Long, Long Day!!!

teri s. says
It’s a close tie between Saturday and Sunday. Saturday because everyone is off work and school which means we can all be together. Tinker in the garden or go to events. Sunday (as cheezy at it may be) because it’s clean sheet day! Yes, I have a clean sheet day. Plus, we can lounge in our PJs and watch movies.

Saturday is my favorite day of the week. After working all week and not being able to do much (especially in the winter), it’s my free day to clean, cook, run errands, take a nap, visit family/friends or tackle a new project!
Erin says
Wednesday’s are my favorite for two great reasons. First, I spend those evenings with my Stitch & Bitch group. This ain’t your Grandma’s knitting circle! Secondly, Thursdays are my Fridays. So I get to experience that “Friday feeling” a day early!
Lea says
My favorite day of the week is Saturday. It’s the start of the weekend, and the day I can usually spend with my family.
Carolyn Krause says
My favorite day of the week is Wednesday. I was born on Wednesday and contrary to the old saying “Wednesday’s Child is full of Woe” I try to stay positive–even when my garden is not up to snuff and my chickens are tearing up my strawberry bed. Also, Wednesday is officially “Anti-Procrastination Day” and that gets me going and keeps me on those boring tasks like weeding.
Love your site!! /Carolyn
jess h says

Saturday because it’s all about relaxing!

P.S. February 11th is my birthday so it would be totally cool for me to win this book!!

Sunday, because I get to visit with family, bake, garden, and craft.

John says
Sunday is definitely my favorite. Getting to spend time with my church family helps me prepare for the week ahead.

I love Friday afternoon because you can look ahead to the weekend and all the possibilities of what you can do in your garden that weekend.
PonyRyd says
Favorite day would have to be Saturday, spending time on the projects I want to get done instead of what the boss wants during the week.
Dee Wolters says
I like Mondays. Usually our weekends are busy, so Mondays are a time to get back on our schedule. I often wash clothes and plan menus for the upcoming week. I try to do heavier cooking and baking on Monday because I try to stay home most or all of the day.
Heather says
Wednesday. It’s library day and Missional Community day, so it passes by quickly with lots to do.
Bonnie Hawkins says
Saturday is my favorite day. There’s no hurry to get up and get going anywhere. There’s time to drink a cup of coffee while checking the yard to see what needs to be done. And there still another day left to get to anything you don’t get to on Saturday.

Sunday. It’s the one day we all have together and the possibilities are endless! This book is on my wishlist. Thanks for the chance to win it!

I love Fridays because that is “homemade pizza and a movie” night. Even though I have to make 2 pizzas for our family of 7, I love the flavor and experimenting, so it is worth it. Its a low key day from the moment the kids come home from school until the moment we all go to bed after our pizza dinner and movie.

Saturday – it can be an “anything I want” day and I usually don’t have to decide until I wake up.
Marcy says
Saturday morning. I get to relax until the ravenous teenagers awaken. Then the girl and I go to COSTCO and she grazes through all the samples. Funny thing is she and I have the best mom & daughter conversations during COSTCO time. Guess it’s because we’re both relaxed and in a neutral atmosphere.

Sharon says
My favorite day of the week is Friday. Not only am I happy that it is the last day of work but I’m excited for the first night of the weekend. I’m double happy! Saturday is great, but I’m usually exhausted from having so much to do on my two days off a week. Sunday is great also BUT I’m usually dreading the feeling that my weekend is almost over and I have to head back to work. Friday is great because the weekend is ahead of me and the work week is behind me. It’s one of the greatest feeling in the world!! =)

I like Sundays. Relaxing with family, time for reflection and usually the day I cook for the week ahead. It relaxes me.
Rebecca Cafouros says
It’s a toss-up between Mondays and Fridays. On Mondays, I pick up my 7 year old grandson from school. We do something fun and, then, have dinner together. Lately, video arcades have been his thing. So, I play skeeball, drive race cars and play “Glow Golf” until I can barely walk! Fridays, I keep his little 16 month old brother all day. I get to laugh, sing and act foolish all day long. His favorite song of late is “Doo, Doo. Doo” by The Police (from the 80s). So, I sing that a LOT! Oh what fun it is to be Meemaw! 😉
Gwenn says
My favorite day of the week is Saturday because it is the only day of the week that my HH and I have the SAME day off. I work a traditional M-F shift however my husband works a weird sift and has Wed & Sat off. Thus Saturday is the BEST day of the week because we get to spend the entire day and evening together. Hang out at the dog park with Ella, the fabulous pup, then putter around the house/garden depending on the time of the year.

Friday is my favorite day of the week. It’s payday and its the beginning to hopefully a great weekend!

Sunday is my favorite day! I am a cellist, and I play at my church and have orchestra rehearsal on Sundays. The music refreshes my spirit so that I am ready for another week! Plus, it is the one day that none of the kids has any activities, so it is a great day to spend time as a family!
Jaime McLaughlin says
As a stay at home mom, any day that doesn’t end in me wanting to pull my hair out and pour myself into a bottle of wine is my favorite day. Otherwise, I would have to say Sunday. It’s the day of rest.. mostly.

As a workin’ gal in the most appropriate sense of the word, I would say that Friday is my favorite. It is a day to reflect on the past, focus on the future and live in the moment! I think the world would be a better place altogether if we could focus on these three aspects of time!

Jessica says
Love Fridays… Kids come home from school excited. Funny how I’ll still get excited and I’ve been out of school for quite some time. 🙂
April says
Saturday aka “we are all back together day” as my daughter calls it. Hubby works nights so it is the always the first time in 5 days we have seen each other, well awake anyway:)
Debbie B says
Saturday is my FAVORITE day of the week! Its the end of the work week and my husband and I pick up the grandkids for a fun day and sleep-over!
The grandkids like to go the the local bakery to pick out a treat, go to the “dollar” store, play at the park, and rent a movie for the evening. HEAVEN!
Katie-K says
To quote the Bangles: “Sunday/ ‘Cause that’s my fun-day/ my I-don’t-have-to-run-day.”
Aubre says
My favorite day of the week is Sunday. I get up early and get breakfast ready for the family, then I grab my coupon binder and head out to do my shopping while my husband sleeps in and watches the kids (ages 6 and 1). I hit CVS and/or Walgreens, then Target, and sometimes Winn Dixie. Shopping so early affords me good access to the new deals for the week, as well as the peace and quiet that comes from having no kids and nearly empty stores. 🙂
Gisele says
I love mondays as I volenteer with my girl guide group . and i love saturdays , as I get to garden with my husband.:)
Lyndsey Resnick says
Thursday is my favorite day of the week. When I was little, it was library day, and I’ve never lost the feeling that I might discover something really exciting that day. Also it’s ALMOST Friday. The anticipation is just as fun as the real thing.
Blessings, all!
Barbara H says
My favorite day of the week is Monday as my husband goes back to work for the week and I can finally get something done around the house. 🙂
Birgit says
Sunday. The one day I can sleep a little longer (though I am always up several times a night to help our old doggie get up- once he’s up, he’s fine), and maybe go down to the farmer’s market briefly to look at cool stuff (too expensive for us for regular shopping). Maybe I even get to read a few pages in a gardening book or seed catalog- my eye candy! Everything is quiet on Sunday. Lovely! Time to think, finally.
Mindy says
Well who knew becoming a follower last week could possibly be so fruitful!? Thanks for a shot at the title! 🙂
My favorite day of the week is Saturday. I’m a SAHM to three, so it’s always nice to have The Dad home!!!
Antoinette Cabantan says
I love Saturdays because we are living here in Guantanamo Naval Station, CUBA and our plant nursery, which is only run by us volunteers, is only open on Saturdays from 8am-12pm. Our volunteers consist of stay at home moms, military spouses and soldiers that like to get together and get our hands dirty. Most of the soldiers are here for a year and like to pass the time planting, raking, weeding, propagating, and whatever else will make this plant nursery look good. We all came from different places in the States but this nursery makes us feel like ONE BIG FAMILY. It’s a place to laugh and learn. We are always looking to find someone who can tell us more about different plants that grow here and how to keep them thriving. So, without a doubt, I definately look forward to Saturdays!
Kristin says
My favorite day is Sunday!
Lissa says
Saturday! It’s Farmer’s Market day. My sister and I go every week (in season) with our young daughters. We all love it!

Everyday/anyday my feet hit the floor and am grateful for my aging healthy body.
sharon says

Kim says
My favorite day of the week would have to be ….Monday. Anything can happen on a Monday and around here it usually does!
Nancy says
I love most days, but especially Saturdays in the spring and summer. Those days usually mean yard sales in the morning, gardening in the afternoon and ballroom dancing at night!
Tina says
Usually Saturdays or Sundays expecially this time of year, because my boys are participating in their sport activities! I am a wrestling/hockey mom. Hockey moms think their tough – until they run into me!!! LOL!!!
BUT my favoriate day of the week would be winning The Gardener’s A-Z Guide to Growing Organic Food!! I desperately need it!! If bugs are about in the garden…my husband wants to spend money on CHEMICALS!! AHHHH
Susan says
My favorite day of the week is Sunday. We usually don’t have any plans and I get to spend the day with my boys.
Sarah Connolly says
Sundays- church, coupons, planning for the week. 🙂
Rachel Stuart says
I like Saturday, we sleep a little later and I don’t have to worry about getting my daughter to pre-k.
Teckla Buller says
Monday. It’s always nice to start a new week after the weekend. I’ve usually thought of a project I want to start or am thinking anout continuing on one after the weekend, which can be busy, busy at times. Now that I’m retired am looking forward to trying a little gardening and canning. Thanks, Mavis, for this opportunity!
Julie says
I’m gonna go with Saturday because the husband is home to give me a break from the kids!
Sarah says
My vote is Sunday. Family, jammies, cooking and rest!

Robin says
Sunday for sure! The whole family is home for coffee and breakfast on the deck while we watch Chicken TV! (Our happy hens in the backyard!)
AllisonH says
I would have to say it is a tie between Friday afternoon/evening and Sunday. I love that feeling on Friday when the kids get off the bus and we don’t have any activities to run off to, but I also love Sunday sleeping in, family time, and coupons;)
heather says
Saturday. I can get some shopping done, sleep in pick up my basket from Bountiful Baskets and hang with the family! Also that tends to be our big gardening day
Julie says
I like every day for a different reason. But this week, Wednesday (today) would have to be my favourite, not just because it’s a public holiday in New Zealand, but because today my hubby, daughter and I went out to a nearby blueberry farm for a delicious lunch and then went blueberry picking. So now we have about 1.6 kg of freshly picked organic blueberries in the kitchen just waiting to be turned into muffins, school lunches, desserts, etc. Yum!
Nancy Ewert says
I guess I would have to say Friday because it means I have an entire delicious weekend to look forward to.
Karen says
Gotta be Friday!
J says
Thursday! It is near the end of the week, and I don’t have to work. All day with the kiddos (and well rested enough to enjoy it).
jolanta says
My favorite day has to be Saturday. I love the fact that I have one more day of rest ahead of me and I love the fact that I have time to make a nice meal for the family.
Lindsay says
Thursdays! Only have 2 out of 3 kids, new flyers come out that day for shopping that week, and all my favorite shows are on that night 🙂 lol I just look forward to Thursdays
Jenn says
Friday, because the kids have no homework and because of the potential of all the things that we could do over the weekend.
Megan says
Definitely Sunday. French toast, hollandaise and other ridiculously unhealthy but deeply satisfying breakfasts followed by time in the garden while the Fella watches the baby. I try to get all my actual errands, cleaning and chores done on Saturday so that on Sunday I can do the fun ones like plant shopping, chopping root balls in half (I mean dividing hostas) and throwing the odd compost-grown potato (I mean semi-urban vegetable bomb) in my neighbours yard (I mean overgrown and neglected raccoon habitat).
Linda says
Thursday …date night
Laura Arnett says
Hi Mavis! My favorite day of the week is Monday. This is the day that starts my week with running kids to school and getting hubby off to work, then I can clean my house and set the tone for the days ahead.
Erin Kerbs says
My favorite day of the week is Saturday. It’s the main day I get to spend with my husband. He’s been deployed a lot in the past few years, but Saturdays help us reconnect. This next Sat. we’ll be gardening! Thank you for the chance to win, Mavis. 🙂
Elizabeth says
It may sound strange, but I like Mondays. My hubby goes back to work, and my toddler and I can settle back into our routine. I am able to get caught up on the housework, everything seems fresh. Oh, and I get to see what Mavis bought in groceries 🙂
Trina says
I think Thursday is my favorite. I don’t have to be anywhere, and the weekend is just on the horizon.
Tasha says
Saturdays are my favorite day of the week. I get to REALLY get outside and play in the dirt (garden).
sandy says
Saturday. Sleep in and then have the whole glorious day to do what you want!
Kathryn says
Wednesday is my favorite day. It is the day of my monthly Master Gardener meeting. It is also the middle of the week between tutoring days for my granddaughter. I can assess how far I have come on things I want to accomplish for the week. thanks for the opportunity to enter for a copy of the A to Z gardening book.
Kelly says
My favorite day of the week is Sunday because it’s usually a slow but fun day.

Teri says
I’m a teacher so during the school year it’s Saturday because it’s a day FULL of potential. During my time off or summer, my favorite day is Monday because I get the house back to myself and can attend to my agenda at my leisure without having to worry about anyone else!
Erin M says
I love Sunday. I take Sunday & Monday off and Sunday is generally my day to either garden, work in the greenhouse, stroll the yard just looking at stuff, foraging for greens for Sunday salad and baking. On Monday my daughter in law comes over to do laundry. While the laundry is in, we call her gardeners assistant. She roams with me, chatting and helping. It is AWESOME!!! So on Sunday, I’m looking forward to that! Life is pretty darn good any day.
Tracy L. says
Sunday. Our insane week slows down and we can be together as a family, slow down and breathe.
Kimberly McCurdy says
Saturday. I was baptized into the Seventh Day Adventist church at the age of 25. Saturday is the Sabbath, the day the Lord gave us to rest from all of our work of the rest of the week.
mandy says
My favorite day is Saturday. In the summer I usually spend that afternoon with my friend who is a bird photographer we hang out on her porch and just relax and chat about just everything (she’s a very cool person) she has a huge garden so I always buy a $5 dollar box loaded with tomatoes, peppers of all kinds, a few cukes, onions and zucchini, basil and my fave eggplant and whatever else she has that week.
Then in the evening my son and his girlfriend usually come for dinner. I love to do this on Saturday because he’s had an easy day off work so he’s relaxed and we can stay up as late as we want as he has no work on Sunday. Quite often they end up staying the night. It’s alot of fun
Diane says
Saturday is my choice. Part of the day I use as a “universal catch up” time and then the rest of the day is FREE time which is mostly spent in my garden. Whatever it ends up being, the goal is for the day to be tranquil and full of happy people and happy plants.
mona says
Sundays….usually pretty relaxing and restful compared to all the other days of the week.
Cee says
I love Saturdays because I can spend the entire day working outside in the garden.

Julia cook says
I am thankful for every day with my family but Sunday is definitely my favorite! After a long hard week of work and school Saturday is rest up day and Sunday is all about families day! My Grandmother always cooked a huge meal on Saturday for Sunday after church gatherings of family and friends I have never had food anywhere else that tastes anywhere as Good as grandmas so.Sunday is now family dinner night at my house everyone loves it! I love having all the people I love most gathered in one room at the same time ::) thank you so much for your inspiration mavis you are amazing!

Tonya O says
Favorite day of the week is Sunday. I love this day because the entire family is home together!
Trish says
Saturday is my favorite. I always get up early, and Saturday is no exception. I love having my coffee, dreaming of gardening, and especially in the springtime, taking my coffee out to the garden and weeding, or planting, or just talking to my lovelies growing there. In the winter I go talk to my lovelies growing under the growlight. It is a gentle joy.
Jennifer says
Thursday is my favorite, also known as Thor’s Day!!! and it’s free pizza day at work.

Will I sleep in on saturday, play in my garden, go shopping using my coupons, have a date night? The possibilities are endless and that is an awesome feeling!
Dawn B. says
I would have to say Sunday. Get to sleep in a bit longer then during the week and then to church to see all my friends and family and get a good sermon! Then back home to visit more with family and a relaxing evening. Sundays are always good days!
Jess A says
I love Sundays, I often have to work on the weekends so when I have a Sunday off it is really special. We make a big breakfast and spend some family time together talking about our week.

Everyday is my favorite! I live in the best country in the world, my family is healthy, and I get to wake up and look out my window and see miles of land and farms! Who could ask for more?
alison b says
Friday because I know it’s family time the next two days!
Barb Poposky says
I have different reasons for each day of the week to be a favorite for me, the 1 big reason for each day to always be a favorite is our 11- month old (almost) grandson who lives with us (as well as his Mommy). For an individual specific day, right now it would be Mondays, that is little Momma’s day off work right now & thus our chance to catch up & have girl talk or mother/daughter time in our testosterone-laden house. Except for one cat (Missie), we are outnumbered by PawPaw, grandson, & 3 20-something uncles, as well as 3 more cats — those are male ::: le sigh :::
But we love ’em all <3
C. Kennedy says
Saturday is my favorite because we are able to let go of all of the hurrying from the rest of the week & have a delicious brunch together. The joy of not being rushed, along with eating delicious homemade food, is one that we savor.
Deborah says
My favorite day of the week is Friday. Especially Friday night when we all can relax after a busy week of school and work!!
Leigh says
My favorite day is Saturday… my husband has the day off, my kids don’t have to go to school & we all get to sleep in!!! Usually that means between 6:00-7:00 am… my kids just can’t stand the peace & quiet any longer than that! 🙂
Becka says
Right now I would probably say it is Thursdays because my husband’s work schedule is lighter and we can often go on little jaunts or tackle household projects together.
Jennifer Schumacher says
Saturday is my favorite day for sure unless I am on vacation and then it’s every day!
Molly says
My favorite day of the week is Saturday. It’s the beginning of the weekend and I’m hopeful that we’ll get all of our projects done…
Sarah says
My favorite day is Tuesday because I get to spend the day with my daughter and we usually are in the kitchen cooking and baking for the week. Yesterday we made your pasta fagioli and quinoa fried rice recipes and a loaf of home made bread. The quinoa fried rice was a huge hit, can’t wait for the soup tonight for dinner. 🙂
Margaret Bushee says
Saturday! That is the day we go skiing as a family!
Blair T says
Sunday is my favorite, though we usually dont rest! Saturdays are for resting, Sundays are for fun (working out in our yard)!

Susan Reid says
FRIDAY. No work that day, and the kids are at school now that my littlest has started kindergarten. I can work uninteruped in the garden ALL DAY! Brilliant end to the week, and a fabulous start to the weekend, the perfect day.

Leslie says
My favoured day of the week is Sunday . . . after a long week of work, daily volunteering in anti-trafficking (with many events being on Saturdays during the day or evening) and daily workouts – it makes my Sundays a precious and well-deserved day of cozy bedtime and book reading/music listening or time with friends. It’s my day to rejuvenate for another exciting week ahead 🙂
Holly Grenz says
I love Saturdays because I get a chance to go ride my quad! And, having my husband around sometimes is great too!

Lyn says
Saturday or Sunday we spend time as a family.
Jill says
Sundays – church, time with family, time with friends. It is the one day of the week with no meetings, school, sports, etc.
Danetta Cates says
Monday is catch up day from last week.It helps me mentally deal better with a clean concience that,”Yes i did leave a few things undone but Monday will pick up the slack”. This helps to cope with not accomplishing entirely & completely never ending goals for our urban farm.MONDAY will save the day!
Monday is also wash day.All our clothes get hung outside & for some reason this is such an enjoyable chore.While hanging up the clothes,positive thoughts are coming to mind like being frugal/saving money by using less electricity leaving the electric clothes dryer out of the equation.I love the thought of the white clothes getting bleached by the sunshine versus a harsh chemical like bleach.It’s such a beautiful sight looking out to see the clothes blowing in the wind & when taking them off the line feeling their crispness,smelling their natural,clean,fresh smell.
Monday,my fav because it’s catch-up day & laundry day.
Amanda says
I <3 EVERYDAY it's a new year and it's great and it's all thankful to one lucky guy that enjoys everything I do!

Laura says
I love Sundays. They are a chance to step back and look at everything accomplished the week before and lay out all that awaits in the new week ahead. It is like having a mini New Year every week. Going to church has always helped me feel at ease and rejuvenated for the start of the week. And, the smell of baking bread just tops it all off.
Marjorie Knorr says
My favorite day is Friday. And in our house Friday is any day that is the end of the work week for my husband. Sometimes it’s after an 8 day shift or sometimes a 5 day shift. He’s happy when he knows he has at least 2 days off. And if he’s happy, I’m happy.
Kim says

Right now my favorite day is Tuesday. I work for the Forest Service as a wildland firefighter and have the luxury of being laid off in the winter. Tuesday is when I grab my bags and pick up my CSA share from Greenway Organics. It’s always fun to see what delicious produce we scored. Yay yay for winter CSA!!!
Amber says
Saturday, cause my hubby and kids are all home to help clean and garden 🙂
Sherle says
Sunday, our entire family works and plays together. We garden, do laundry, prepare food for the week, bake bread, dig up soil, preserve what needs preserving. We’re making candied lemon and orange peels tomorrow, planting some more seeds, digging another garden space and going out to pull up some ivy to clear a little more space for our raised beds. It’s a day that no matter what we do, we do it together, laugh love and enjoy the only day in the week we are all working towards a common goal.
jennifer mistretta says
Saturday! Its the one day that the hubby and I never work and get to hang out with our little man Tuck. I also started taking organic gardening classes early sat mornings. As my “me time”. So the day starts off great every week!

My favorite day of the week would have to be Sunday because my boyfriend is home, and when I also have the day off it’s great to be with him. It’s also when I usually call home and talk to my parents, which I look forward to!
Nancy says
My favorite day of the week is definitely Saturday. We can almost always sleep a little later, and I don’t spend the whole day worrying about work the next day. Saturday is a fun day!
Paula says
Sunday is my favorite day of the week .My reasons are just like many others… Sleeping in, big breakfast,family,time to garden or cook, no schedule to keep.
Kellie says
My favorite day of the week is any day that ends in a “y”! There is nothing better than the sun on my back, a light breeze and a yard full of vegetables and flowers to tend to.
Jamie says
My favorite day is Saturday. My family does lazy mornings (reading, playing games, etc) with a later breakfast before we start our day. And we don’t have to work or go to school the next day!

Thursday- I have a nickname for my Thursday cleaning spree. I get off of work early. come home and put the first load of laundry in and then stay up almost all night cleaning and organizing Before I go to bed I take a package of chicken out to pop in the crockpot the next morning for Friday dinner and the house is clean for the weekend
Michele says
My favorite day of the week is Saturday because I can spend most of the day gardening and improving my yard. This is true year round as we are able to grow some sort of veggie throughout the year.
Victoria says
My favorite day of the week is Sunday. Sunday mornings just smell fresh. It’s like a new beginning. Sunday’s are the day for relaxing and being thankful. It’s a day to reflect on the previous week as well as focus on the new week.
