Your image of you.  Physically.  How does that affect your relationship with your husband?  I said last week that I wanted to dig deeper into this matter- here it is.
Struggling with self-image is something that I believe every woman has dealt with or will deal with at some point in her life.  Too big in [...]

Hello ladies!  I was supposed to be hosting F.H.M. but we’ve had internet problems for two days now.
Yack!
Thankfully, my trusty side-kick swooped in for the rescue and you guys will be redirected to the Vine Woman’s lovely post.
Come back here for the Blog Frog discussion though.
Thanks for your patience,

It’s Friday again and we’re on the “being his crown” bandwagon…are you?  Last week The Vine Woman did a nice post about what it means to be your husbands crown.  Remember, we are ALREADY his crown, the question is how shiny and beautiful are you sitting up there on your husband’s head?  That’s what this [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

This is the last F.H.M of the year and the last one of it’s kind (more on that next week).  I have really enjoyed being candid, sharing recipes, talking about kids and the way we raise them and ultimately building our homes.  Today is not going to be about anything I have done though, it’s [...]

It’s Friday’s Homemaker Moments, which means one week until Christmas, which means today we’ll be talking about all the Christmas movies that will be playing on the TV over the next week.  Do you have any favorites?
I do.
My all time, hands down, ultimate favorite Christmas movie is….
WHITE CHRISTMAS!!
I love musicals and I love Christmas movies…put [...]

Boy are you in for a treat today!  I have a surprise up my sleeve and it has nothing to do with Cameras- which is what my sidebar said the topic for F.H.M. was going to be.  Instead of cameras we will be talking about Christmas traditions…can I get a round of applause?  Because I [...]

Welcome to Friday’s Homemaker Moments!  Today I need to know how you have saved money on Christmas gifts in the past or even so far this year?  Did you come with a great Christmas sale to pass along? Do you have an exemplary gift idea that costs little to nothing?  Bring it on [...]

Here we go!  This Friday’s Homemaker Moment is going to make you hungry because you are going to read about some mouth-watering foods.  So grab a healthy snack and have a seat while you read today!
My first fall recipe is a dessert:  Friendly Zucchini Bread.
The great thing about this sweet bread is that it yields [...]

In honor of the first time Todd and I have ever been overnight without all FIVE of our children, I invoke this Friday’s Homemaker Moment:  Your most memorable vacation.  That’s right, Todd and I are leaving five small children behind beginning Saturday morning and overnight until sometime on Sunday.  We haven’t EVER done this and [...]

What do you need?  As a mother, wife, business woman, home maker, teacher, or all of the above?  What is your biggest need?  This question comes from the thought that while we spend much of our time giving and doing for our families, we also NEED some things too.  Today I am [...]

First of all, I just want to thank those of you who come out here to post a comment or to write your own post and link back here…it really blesses me that you participate in this each week.  Friday’s Homemaker Moments is for you…the wonderful readers.  My vision is for F.H.M. to go viral [...]

Friday’s Homemaker Moments is a time when we can all share our ideas and opinions.  Today is no different and I sure hope you’ll share.  I am seriously having a hard time getting into fall this year because I just don’t find it as wonderful as I do summertime.
Will you fall-lovers help me out?
I don’t [...]

This Friday’s Homemaker Moments is dedicated to learning more about a woman’s role in her home.  God made each of us unique and each of us uniquely in our homes.  So it’s not going to look the same for you as it is for me, but I love to learn from other moms and wives.  [...]

Kids just have their own language sometimes and thank goodness that as moms we are great translators and even better communicators!  That is what today is all about…translating the Kid Speak and us moms speaking in a way that kids understand.  What are some funny, zany and just down right hilarious things that your kids [...]

According to Proverbs 14:1a, “a wise woman builds her house”.  We are sharing with each other how we have built our houses this week.  Not with brick or materials, but with wisdom.
A few wise things I’ve done this week include:  leaving Adia in her panties to take a nap after forgetting to take her to [...]

After a couple of weeks of fun, I decided to take it down a notch.  No more fun.
Nosirree!
Today is serious stuff…I’ll try to contain myself for a couple of minutes!
Who is God to you?  Interpret as you will, but leave a comment or link up from your blog with your interpretation.
I read several great posts [...]

Cutting to the chase…
Here at Homemaker Moments Friday I have tried to encourage you to think about others this week.  Although I did not say anything about it until late Wed., sorry about that, maybe you had already been serving others or maybe you took advantage of Thursday!  Even if you didn’t serve anyone else, [...]

This week I wanted to give everyone an opportunity to share their week in a nutshell.  Did anything in particular stand out…did you do anything extra special…was it your first week of school…are you already Christmas shopping?  I just love to hear about other people’s experiences.  So here’s your chance!
I had a great week.
Last week, [...]

As Homemakers, we are bombarded with the state of the economy everyday.  Well, you would think we would be since we are the grocery shoppers, clothing buyers, coupon clippers, bill payers, and the household builders.
Our men have a great responsibility too…I would never take away from their all-too-important role as bread winners.  However, I want [...]

The day has come, ladies, to discuss our Post Baby Bodies.  Do you have issues with your body, post baby?  Are you actively trying to lose weight?  Do you care?  Do you need therapy?
Let’s dish!
For me, pregnancy has always stirred up my metabolism.  It gets insanely high and really helps me keep weight off while [...]

Homemaker Moments Friday.  It’s time ladies (and gentlemen) to talk about building up our households and how we fulfill our roles.  Are you ready?  This week’s theme is:  Home School or Public.  Do you have an opinion, a story, some input, some advice?
I do.
I love home schooling my children.  It’s fulfilling.  It’s good times.  But [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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.

You know, I was really hoping that Homemaker Moments would give us all broader perspective on what really goes on behind the closed doors of our homes.  I wanted to get to know some women and share fun stories, or even burdens.  I had “big plans” for each Friday here on my blog!  But I [...]

It’s Homemaker Moments Friday!!  I’m making up for last Friday when I was wedding planning and couldn’t get to a computer for almost 3 whole days…Oh the Horror!
This week’s moment is an eyeopening one for me to say the least.  I’m always burdening myself with thoughts like, “Am I doing enough with the kids so [...]

I want to apologize that I did not get to do a “Homemaker Moments” last Friday!!!  However, I did acquire some FAKE Nails!!!
That’s right- I went from drab…
