911…There’s no emergency
Kids can have some very vivid imaginations. Just ask a couple of my girls – Brownie and Semisweet to be exact. Thanksgiving afternoon all the womenfolk were gathered upstairs in my mother-in-law’s house discussing plans for the upcoming wedding of Mr. Ferrero Rocher’s youngest brother. Semisweet, Brownie and Cousin M came charging in giggling hysterically […]
Key Lime Cheesecake
When I was little my family lived in Miami, Florida for five years. We learned to love mangoes and key lime pie. Every Thanksgiving since then it is mandatory that we have a key lime pie to indulge ourselves when dessert time comes. It must be made with real KEY LIME juice or it’s just […]

Hootenanny with Apple-Raisin Sauce
Growing up my husband’s family called these puffed oven pancakes “Germans.” They’re also known as hootenanny.

Potpourri
♥ Busy but fun day yesterday. Fudge, Cookie and I spent the day in Reno – three hours at the pediatric dentist and that was just for check-ups! That part wasn’t too fun but all the shopping was. I took them to Toys R Us. They’ve never been and were enthralled with all the toys. […]

Tiny Birthday Cakes

Striving to Serve FHE
Oftentimes when we think of giving service to others we forget about the simple acts of serving our family everyday. This lesson is based on a General Conference talk given by Elder Steven E. Snow in October 2007. Most of the lesson came from another FHE lesson swap but I couldn’t find the visuals for […]

One of the surest signs that the holidays are really here is the presence of eggnog in the dairy aisle at the grocery store. We literally drink gallons and gallons before its gone for another year. This past week we decided to add it to the egg mixture for our french toast. It was heavenly! […]
