With the wheels spinning of having to name a new wee one (who’s still not here yet!), thinking about all my other children and their names, and thinking about my own name I decided next Wordfull Wednesday’s topic for October 21 is: “What’s in your name?” How did you come to be named? Are you […]

Wherein I share my beef
…about my doctor. He really is a great doctor. We’ve (Mr. FR and I) never had problems with him. We like his philosophy about birthing, yada, yada, which is one of many reasons we chose him. But right now, I am not too happy. Why? My original due date, according to my last menstrual cycle […]
I ♥ Faces Week 40: Excited!
The birthday season has started at our house. The first birthday was Sept. 29. We have a birthday about every two weeks after that all the way into January. Fudge celebrated her seventh birthday on Saturday. She baked and decorated her own cake (a beehive) and couldn’t wait to blow out the candles. This was […]
Spencer W. Kimball FHE
The family home evening swap group that I am a part of is doing lessons on the latter-day prophets. My lesson is about Spencer W. Kimball. I’ll post the ones I receive from the swap starting in a few weeks. Spencer W Kimball © 2007-2009 Chocolate on my Cranium, LLC all rights reserved © 2007-2013 […]
Pumpkin Muffins
This week has been extremely busy gathering the last of the harvest from the orchard and garden. We’ve been making pearsauce galore to can, pulling onions to cure, storing butternut squash, acorn squash, and spaghetti squash, and last, but not least, baking pumpkins to puree for the freezer. Nothing beats having fresh pumpkin puree to […]

Easy Reversible Poncho
I love this time of year when there’s a nippiness to the air. It also heralds the poncho sewing season at our house. We’ve been sewing these for years not only for my girls but also as gifts. They are easy to sew, taking only 1 hour for the inexperienced sewer. All sizes are girls’ […]
Wordfull Wednesday: Six Little Words
Whew! When I actually sat down to fulfill this assignment it was definitely harder than I thought it would be! I felt like I was writing an epitaph or something. =) I realized maybe I was thinking to hard – trying to come up with something profound and deep. When I broke through that barrier […]
8 days and counting….
No baby yet. Not surprised though since all my kids came pretty close to the due date. Bon Bon was 7 days early; Semisweet and Truffle were 5 days early; Cookie and Special Dark came 3 days early; Fudge came the day before her due date; and Brownie, the little stinker, arrived 3 days late […]
Satan’s Web FHE
Pin It Taking advantage of the Halloween decorations in stores right now I created this family home evening lesson to show how Satan tries to ensnare us in his web of sin. A nice visual to have up all month long – a big spider web with word strips of different temptations or sins. For […]
Super Moist Pumpkin Cobbler
I think besides chocolate and potatoes, pumpkins have to be my favorite food. I can’t ever seem to get enough, especially this time of year. We had a family get-together earlier this week and my sister-in-law brought this delicious pumpkin dessert. We loved it so much Bon Bon made it again yesterday. Super Moist Pumpkin […]
Meet Argyle
Argyle is one of those things. You either love it or hate it. When looking for ideas to paint the girls’ bedrooms we came upon one room with an argyle type design and Bon Bon fell in love with it. Fudge, who will be sharing the bedroom, is so easy-going it didn’t take much to […]
Two Bedrooms are done!
Two of the girls’ bedrooms are finally done! We did all the painting, installed new carpet and have moved all their furniture in. The third bedroom will done today (Thursday) and it looks very cool. Here’s the finished paint jobs. I didn’t take any before pictures because they were just white walls. The first room […]
Six Little Words
Knowing I won’t have much time next week while we finish getting everything ready for the arrival of #8, I chose a very short but NOT simple Wordfull Wednesday assignment for next Wednesday, Oct. 7. I wanted it short so I could still have the time to read and visit everyone’s posts! Back in 2006, […]
I ♥ Faces Week 38: Blue
Love the 3 for $1 swirly lollipops! They provide some fun, cheap entertainment. Unless, of course, you only happen to pick up three and there are at least four littles at home fighting over them. =) What was I thinking? Thank goodness this one decided they didn’t taste all that great and gave hers to […]
