Eunuch! I mean UNIQUE!
Heart of the Matter has asked us to tell what is UNIQUE about our family for this week’s Friday Homeschool Meme. I had to think hard about this because I tend to think we fall into the typical God-fearing, conservative values type of category. Of course we do have an usual ratio of girls to […]
Look Through Lenses of Love
“Mom, did you know you have hearts on your glasses? You look at the world through lenses of love.” Truffle was very sweet as I drove down the road. I only wish it were true more often than not. How would my perspective change looking through a filter of love? How would yours? © 2007-2013 […]

My two etsy shops are part of it. Now Tip-Junkie is hosting a “12 Days of Junkie” Giveaway. She’s giving away two great […]

Wordfull Wednesday: The Act of Giving
Last year when traveling back from Utah by myself with the children our Suburban started to make some funny clinking noises that seemed to come from under the hood. The noises stopped but then I saw smoke coming out the back. TONS. OF. SMOKE. As I looked in the rear view mirror, I could barely […]

Another one bites the dust
I’ve been absent for a few days from the blog. Posts have been posted but they were scheduled a week ago. I have been busy trying to mark another item off of my to-do list – the annual family calendar for Mr. Ferrero Rocher’s side. It is always a HUGE undertaking. Gathering photos, trying to […]
O Remember, Remember

Eyring gave a wonderful talk on gratitude in the October 2007 General Conference entitled, “O Remember, Remember.” This family home evening lesson is based off of that talk and was compiled by . O Remember, Remember FHE PDF Here is a portion of the lesson so you know what you are getting. […]
Chicken Enchiladas
My Guelita is a fabulous cook. She is also notorious for her giving nature. Anyone who stops to visit goes home laden with food. I have fond memories of visiting as a child “helping” Guelito roll the tortilla dough into balls while Guelita rolled them flat and cooked them on a huge griddle. I think […]
Do the unexpected
Today was one of those non-stop days where everything was just go, go, go. I should feel completely and utterly exhausted but I don’t. The main reason, I think, is because most of the afternoon was spent in cooking some delicious enchiladas – three big pans full – to take to some families in our […]
Next Wordfull Wednesday Topic For November 12
Sorry this is being posted so late today. I had a busy day! The other day I picked up two HUGE packages from the post office. I could barely see over them, let alone open any doors on my way out. My mind was made up to push the handicap button that would open the […]
Manly Aprons?
Anyone know where we can get manly aprons? We need help! Somehow the Flamenco inspired ones we have just don’t cut it for a boy. Even if they are lime green. © 2007-2013 Chocolate on my Cranium, LLC all rights reserved
Presidential Election Lapbook
I’ve received several e-mails about where we got our information and books for our Presidential Election Lapbooks. I guess if I was really on top of things I would have shared this at least a week ago so there would be more time to cover this before the election ends today. It won’t hurt to […]
