Homemaker Chronicles

There was a time when Adia went around proclaiming “I. am. a. robot.” in her best 80’s synthesized robotic voice.  I guess she saw some Spongebob episode and, like the little parrot she is, repeated everything she saw.  It’s annoying when Spongebob does it, but hilarious when my 3 year old mimics it…go figure.
That actually [...]

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 [...]

You all are here because of the giveaway, right?
I hope so!  It’s Black Friday and there are deals coming out our noses!
I told you I was going to have one and you’re gonna LOVE it!  These are custom art designs by Jenny.

She calls it “alphabet art”.  Isn’t that fun?
She takes pictures of these letters (because [...]

If you’ve been hanging around Homemaker Chronicles long enough you know that I am prone to posting pictures. That’s because I take so many pictures.  One could even say it’s a little obsessive, overboard, or even unconscionable (thank you Webster Thesaurus online).
No really, it’s okay- I can admit it too!
To make my obsession [...]

If you are a nursing mama, about to be a nursing mama, will ever be a nursing mama, or know someone who is, about to be or will ever be a nursing mama, be don’t miss this great deal!  (Whew…that sentence wore me out!)
Free nursing covers from Udder Covers.  Yep…tested and true!  [...]

Okay, no laughing.  This is a serious post.  And I have to talk quietly or else he’ll hear.
Psst…I think there’s something wrong with Todd.  Look at what he did to the kids…

Poor guys- they have facial hair!!  They look utterly humiliated don’t they?  Just completely mortified.
I think Todd seriously needs some intervention.  He [...]

Betcha can’t guess where we’ve been…

Seriously, take a guess.

I’ve already had a busy week so I am going to hand over the mic to a blog that I think has such a great Do-it-Yourself project that you guys would enjoy.
So check out “Monkey’s on the bed” for a great tutorial on these headbands!!

Hopefully I’ll get back on the ball this afternoon.  Because I [...]

How many of you guys like home remedies, do it yourself projects and kids who like to make messes?
Me too!
Then you’re going to LOVE this post!!
The remedies are more like grandma’s secrets that you’ve probably already heard of, but I thought I would point them out, you know, just in case. Plus, with the [...]

Yes, yes.   It’s still Fruity pa-tooty week here at Homemaker Chronicles.  I know you all are ecstatic about that…just like me!    I can tell by the onslaught of comments and guesses as to what I was working on yesterday. (wink…wink)
This is the third day in a row that I’ve had something involving fruit [...]

Fruit week is here!!!  Yeah!!
What tha heck is fruit week, you ask?  Good question!  It is a week of making fruity desserts, breads, crafts and such.
Why is it fruit week, you ask?  Because I’m already having summer withdrawals!  I love summer time and I’m not ready to let it go.  I’m holding on for dear [...]

Have you ever wondered what my kids and I do on rainy days?  Well, wonder no more!! I’m going to tell you.
We sew some puppets and have a show.
See??

We also pretend that our legs, fingers, ribs and cheeks are food and play like we are hungry.  I attack the kids with my mouth like I’m [...]

What is an Archaeologist’s favorite kind of music?
Hard Rock.
Hardy Har Har!!! (Joke courtesy of C.C.!)
I found this really great activity to do with the kids, as I am always keeping one eye open for a good lesson to teach, and I came across this one.   Coffee Ground “Fossils” was the perfect outdoor activity for us [...]

Regan and I spent the afternoon on Saturday making some of the cutest little hair bows you’ve ever seen.  Girlfriends, this is so easy- and it’s a great project for Mom and Daughter!  (I think Regan might start a side business and make me, ahem- I mean us- some money)
These are all of our supplies…

The only took [...]

This is Regan’s latest “craft”.  She saw a coffee filter sitting out on the table yesterday morning (probably because, between Todd and I, we drink 2 pots a day!)  The next thing I know, there’s a “China doll” sitting out on her bed!
Isn’t she crafty?
She’s a girl with vision.
