Homemaker Chronicles

I was bouncing with joy from the comments left last week.  It was great to have such a variety of ideas as to what helping your husband looks like in your homes.  You all are very witty, smart, wonderful wives!
As far as this week goes, we won’t be getting that deep.  Unless you are up [...]

UPDATED POST:
I would love to say that Titan ended up sharing his icecream, but he infact did not.  At the very end of the clip you see me practically running through the kitchen.  Well, that’s because I am frantically searching for Salem’s passy so that he could lay down for a nap.  He had already [...]

Alrighty folks.  It’s here!  Homemaker Moments Friday: Helping your husband.  Let’s get started!
I am passionate about helping my husband.  Why?  Because I am his gift.  Yes, yes, he is my gift as well, but for now let’s focus on the “I am his gift” portion.
I have quoted this verse before  in this post.  1 Corinthians [...]

Remember this picture?

I entered this picture in the I Heart Faces photo contest and I got 6th place out of more than 300 entries!  The category last week was “Sports in Action” and the judge was this photographer- Roger or “Rog” (a very talented picture-taker I might add).  I feel very honored to be chosen and that’s [...]

Seriously, the pounds are returning.  Except they are in the form of cellulite!!  HELP!
I really don’t like talking about diets and working out because I think each lady should have her own individual routine that suits her own personal life.  Besides, each one of our bodies is different and unique.  Each one requires it’s own [...]

Survivorman is a show on the Discovery Chanel that is all about how to survive if you found yourself in a situation where you were stranded.  This is Todd’s most favoritest show EVER!  He started watching it via Netflix when we lived in Texas and now we watch it almost biweekly!  It shows us everyday [...]

Today, Homemaker Moments Friday, the theme is “Your Wedding Story”.
This is a very special day for Todd and I…
As of 6:30 pm today we’ve been married for 10 years!!
In some ways it’s gone by fast, you know FIVE kids later.  In some ways it seems like an eternity.  We surely have learned so much about [...]

A friend and I attended a Zumba class earlier this week.  It was my first time to do Zumba…my friend was a pro and I hung on for dear life!
First of all, I have to say “WOW”!  I didn’t know people could move their hips that quickly and into such awkward positions.  Apparently some people [...]

After considering all the wonderful advice I received on this post the other day, I have come up with a solution to my son’s soy satisfaction.  Let me pause and take this moment to thank each one of you that gave such great advice.  I appreciate everyone’s perspective and I think each mom has their [...]

You all know how I took the “NO TRASH” challenge for the month of July.  Well it’s been going well according to my standards.  However, if the trash police came to my house each day they might not think so.
We have honestly gone from taking the trash out about twice a day (in the kitchen [...]

I love this shot of my boys playing football in the yard.  I REALLY love Salem’s face.

He looks…uh…worried!
Heck, I would be too if I was the only thing between a football and 3 big dudes.
I’ve never entered a pet challenge, but I decided to this week because I found this great profile shot of Liza [...]

Homemaker Moments Friday is day that is devoted to talking about how we fulfill our roles as wives, mothers, teachers, workers, and everything else we do!  It’s a lofty role that comes with a lot of responsibility, sweat and tears…and sometimes blood.
Today’s Homemaker Moments Friday theme is:  The best time you’ve ever had with your [...]

Salem is winding down his nursing.  By that I mean, he isn’t nursing much these days.  Back to Angie’s body as usual.  I’m not sure I’m liking the way that’s shaping up, but oh well.  It is what it is…right?  Maybe I’ll run a marathon or do some aerobics or just take a walk every [...]

and rocks…

and rocks…

and gets down…

and gets back up…

and rocks some more.

SALEM ROCKS!!

Todd has wanted an iphone since before he was born.  I’m not sure what it is about those things, but it makes men feel like MEN!  I’m pretty sure his phone is his best friend (after me of course).
It understands him…like when he speaks into the microphone and it automatically Googles.
It’s always available…as long as [...]

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth”.

“And God said, ‘Let there be light’, and there was light”.

“And God said, ‘Let there be an expanse between the waters to separate water from water.’…And so it was”.

“And God said, ‘Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground [...]

I realize that going green is hard work.  Or more accurately it just takes some extra effort.  I don’t usually shy away from something just because it’s more effort.  Actually, I welcome things that are more difficult just to push myself and those around me.  I want to be capable of enduring things even when [...]
