Homemaker Chronicles

Alright, I’ve shared my “day in pictures” with you for a long time now. I think it’s YOUR turn to join in! Here are the rules. Pick a day of the week, any day, and post your pictures on your blog. Come back here and link up so we can all [...]

I have been waiting and praying for a while now about what to do with Friday’s Homemaker Moments and I finally have a direction. This is something I’ve wanted to do for a while and even intended on doing in the very beginning of the original F.H.M; helping marriages by encouraging women in their [...]

In the last post, found here, Todd and I had met and had a few encounters, but that was pretty much it. Except that he fell madly in love with me at first sight.
Did I mention that?
On with the story…
On the first day of school of my senior year, Todd and I met up [...]

After a year of studying and hypothesizing, I have finally decided to move ahead with my diapering dilemma!  What was the dilemma again?  Well, I wanted to see what the cost difference is between cloth and disposable diapers.  I know the benefits of using cloth, I know the difficulties of using cloth…I wanted to know [...]

I’ve been a busy bee this last week. Take a look and see if you can guess what I’ve been doing?

Leave me a comment with your guess and if you’re right you might just get something out of it!
*UPDATE*
It IS a cloth diaper, Amy and Cinda!! Amy, get in touch with me if [...]

Texture means so many things to me. Depth, feel, believability. I personally think texture, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.
What do you see?

Go see the other great entries at I heart faces!

I wanted to go back to the beginning of it all. Back when Todd and I first got together. Remembering where we came from is so much fun, allowing me to be so thankful for how our very unlikely paths crossed. It is truly a story of success when it looked like [...]

“Bless the Lord, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name!
Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits:
Who forgives all your iniquities,
Who heals all your diseases,
Who redeems your life from destruction,
Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,
Who satisfies your mouth with good things,
So that your [...]

Today is Wednesday and everybody in my household knows that it is TREAT DAY! After 11:00 am each child can choose up to 3 pieces of candy to consume. Unless of course you are unable to tell time…then you might sneak about 10 pieces of chocolate out of a Christmas gift that was [...]

I’d love to have another epiphany like I had last winter, but lately it’s just been heads down. I guess that’s why I have this blog- to go back and remember the good and the bad!
I wrote this (below) last year and it did me a lot of good to go back to that [...]

I haven’t done a “Not Me” in a long time (is that considered a double negative?) and I have lots of moments from the last week that are totally “Not Me” worthy!  They seem to all come at once, so I thought I’d share.
Never ever would I let the kids watch TV instead of doing [...]

I couldn’t NOT enter this week’s contest.  I’m all about my family!  And here’s the proof…
We’re so close that we even brush our teeth together.

Photographically, this picture won’t make the cut because it was taken in the bathroom with a point and shoot.  There are literally TWO lights in that 6 x 3 room and [...]

If you were wondering, today we are having a “girl lunch” according to Titan. Yes, we are.
He told Adia we are having “girl cheese sandwiches and tomato soup”.
What are you having? A girl or boy lunch?

Perhaps you have noticed that I haven’t been doing Friday’s Homemaker Moments this month? Perhaps not…
I have purposefully held off because I feel like going in a different direction with F.H.M.! There are a few things in the works (a few very awesome things), but I am still just praying about which one [...]

Have you ever heard of cross-fit? It’s the workout that the guys from the movie “300″ did when they were getting ready to film. Wait, I’ve just been corrected. They did Gym Jones that is LIKE cross fit. Sorry…
Yeah, that’s why they could fight like they did, and why Leonidus (actor [...]

The only thing Titan wants to do when he grows up is be a “cookie maker”.  Have I told you this before?  I can’t remember…
He wants to open up his own cookie store and sell his homemade baked goods to the world!  That’s his dream.  (Funny guy)
There is one other dream he aspires to though, [...]

In an effort to be more transparent this year, that is one of my “resolutions” that I hate to call a resolution, but really I have had to sort of resolve to do it because it doesn’t come completely naturally to me…
yeah, you can see this is already hard for me…
Today I am going to [...]

Within our family, one of my favorite faces to photograph is this little girl- Adia Jubilee- my youngest daughter.  Hence my entry for I Heart Faces “best faces” theme this week!

Can you figure out why little Adia looks so concerned in this picture?
She was actually talking with her kitty, saying that they were going to [...]

This is actually from last Sunday, but it’s still my day…in pictures.
Sledding!
By the way…feel free to watch any of the videos on my You Tube channel.  Even better, subscribe to my channel and I’ll subscribe to yours!!

I realize that I am totally neurotic about certain things and then seem to be the polar opposite when it comes to other certain things.  A dichotomy of sorts.  When I have an issue, it’s a real true-blue issue because I really can’t figure out a solution.
Northerners will bust out laughing when they read what [...]

I have thoroughly enjoyed this week’s theme at I heart faces.  There were lots of rules that I hope I didn’t break, but I managed to put together a few pictures for this contest entry that include the I heart faces logo.  (I know that I did not break that rule because all of my [...]

It’s a new year and it’s all about saving money for this family.  Not as in opening a savings account and putting money in it…more like, not spending money on things we don’t need and especially not overpaying just for convenience.  Although, sometimes it is nice to pamper yourself by paying a little extra when [...]

How was your day?

Betcha can’t figure out what Regan got for Christmas…

What about Adia?  Can you take a wild guess what’s under this wrapping paper?

Leave a comment with your guess!
*UPDATED*
Noone guessed what Regan got…which was an American Girl Doll!

She’s has asked for two years in a row and she finally got one.  That’s 100% because it took us [...]

Can YOU guess what Salem got for Christmas?

What about Todd…

…can you figure it out?
Check back for more and the answers later today!
*UPDATED*
Close Katie!  Salem actually got this…

…a slide that looks like a castle. It can also double as a tent if you hide underneath it, say when you’re playing hide and seek for instance, [...]
