Welcome to At Home with Chelsey!
Hi there! I’m Chelsey, a proud Army wife, mom to three amazing boys, and a passionate creator who thrives on all things crafty, cozy, and creative. I’m so excited to welcome you to the At Home with Chelsey corner of my blog, a space where military life, mom life, and my love for making beautiful things come together.
Here, you’ll find an inspiring mix of posts to enrich your everyday life, from creative DIY projects and embroidery tutorials to tried-and-true family recipes and personal stories about balancing it all. Whether you’re looking for your next craft project, tips on managing a busy household, or just a slice of inspiration, this is the place for you.
What You Can Expect
1. Creative DIY Projects and Embroidery Fun
As the heart behind Daisies & Duke Embroidery, I’m passionate about sharing the joy of stitching and crafting. Embroidery has been a creative outlet for me for years, and I’m thrilled to offer tutorials that cater to beginners and seasoned stitchers alike. From step-by-step guides on using stick-and-stitch patterns to learning the foundational stitches, you’ll find everything you need to dive into this fulfilling hobby.
Beyond embroidery, I’ll also share fun DIY ideas to personalize your home and gifts. Whether you’re looking to create something meaningful for a loved one or add a handmade touch to your decor, there’s something for everyone. Creativity is meant to be shared, and I hope to inspire you to explore your own unique talents.
2. Delicious Recipes for the Family
Cooking and baking have always been central to my family’s life. There’s nothing better than gathering around the table to share a meal or indulging in freshly baked treats after a long day. I’ll share recipes that are kid-approved, quick for busy weeknights, and special enough for celebrations.
From hearty soups for chilly evenings to sweet desserts that double as fun projects with your little ones, I want my recipes to bring warmth and joy to your kitchen. I’ll also include tips for involving kids in cooking—because making memories together is just as important as making the meal itself.
3. Military Life & Mom Life
As an Army wife, life often comes with its fair share of challenges and adventures. From frequent moves to building a sense of home wherever we land, I’ve learned so much about resilience and adaptability. On this blog, I’ll share stories, insights, and tips for navigating military life, offering encouragement to those on similar journeys.
Mom life is another big part of who I am. Raising three boys has taught me the importance of patience, creativity, and finding moments of peace in the chaos. I’ll write about everything from balancing work and motherhood to fun activities that keep my boys engaged and entertained. Whether you’re a military spouse, a parent, or both, I hope my experiences resonate with and inspire you.
4. DIY Home Projects and Gardening
Creating a home that feels cozy and welcoming is a passion of mine. Over the years, I’ve discovered how small DIY projects can make a big difference in making a space feel personal and unique. I’ll share ideas for simple home decor projects, organizing tips, and even seasonal crafts to refresh your living spaces.
Gardening is a newer passion of mine, and I’m excited to share what I’m learning along the way. Whether it’s growing herbs for the kitchen or creating a flower-filled retreat in the backyard, gardening has become a rewarding way to connect with nature and add beauty to my surroundings.
