Homemaker Chronicles

This week I am going to take my own advice.
Written by ME February 2009.
Did I mention that I like coffee? Just in case…
I LIKE COFFEE!
Starbucks brand. Gold Coast blend. French pressed. No cream. No sugar.
If you follow me on twitter you already know this, but I actually got to [...]

“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 [...]

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 [...]

Dying is not something I plan to do in the near future.  I do have a list of things I’d like to do before I die though.
In no particular order, here they are…
1.  skydiving
2.  fly a jet- or in a jet.  Either way
3.  sleep in a castle
4.  go on a cruise ship (all 7 of [...]

I would like to interview myself today.  No, I am not going crazy and I certainly haven’t had too much turkey…yet.  I just want to answer a few questions for you that I know you’ve been burning to have answered!  Let’s get movin’, there is green bean casserole to stuff in my mouth.
Angie, what is [...]

…about breast cancer, I thought I would pass along this article that was very intriguing to me.  It is about regrowing breasts!  Apparently they are testing it on women now and the Australian scientists will be trying this same concept on other organs in the future.  I copied this excerpt for you to read for [...]

Body lotions.  Bubble bath.  Shower gel.  Facial scrub.  Candles.  Air freshners.
One could not go wrong buying me any one of these products…ever!  I used to be really into cucumber-ie smells.  You know, it was all about that fresh clean smell- like I just got out of the shower or something.  Maybe that was because I [...]

How many people listen to music while cooking or cleaning the house?  Take this quick poll…

Alright, now once you take the poll, tell me this…what are your favorite songs to listen to, if you are one that listens to songs while cleaning and cooking.  I would also love it if you left me a comment [...]

There was an old woman who lived in a shoe
She had so many children, and her name was Angie…
As unexpected as reading the end of that verse probably was to you, that’s equally how unexpected having “so many children” is to me.  I never thought while growing up that I would actually have five children [...]

I am not one to try to tell people what to do.  Unless you are one of my kids, or if you have the wrong opinion of something, or if I disagree with you or if you make me mad.  Other than that, I just do not partake in it.
I don’t. Well, not all the [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Friends, please be in prayer for my friends Sarah and Ethan and their baby boy Jude.  He was born with a cleft palette and his first (of many) surgeries was yesterday.  He had to stay overnight again tonight at the hospital because of his inability to breath well- due to swelling.  This little guy needs [...]

I almost forgot about this picture from last week…
It’s NOT photoshopped, so good job on those of you who figured that out.  We are at a historic site in Texas (good job recognizing those trees Cinda).  Caleb is running toward me at full speed and a snapped a shot of him in mid-air!
