Isn’t this little cake cute? Friday night we made twelve of them in preparation for Truffle’s birthday party on Saturday. She was having a doll tea party so naturally each doll had to have it’s own cake too. For each tiny cake you need two sandwich cookies (we used Oreos), frosting and sprinkles. Put a […]

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 […]
Egg Nog French Toast
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! […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
