Glimpses of our week… Sunday Special Dark drew a very detailed tractor. Can you spot the treads on the tires, where it says “John Deere,” the smoke stack with one long trail of smoke, and dust coming behind the tractor because it is going so fast? Monday Eating grass… Boy cousins swinging Tuesday Roasting HUGE […]

Wildflower Help
Anybody know of a good website to identify wildflowers? We went and picked these wildflowers last week but have no idea what they are called. I must say, with all the rain and cooler weather we have been having it sure has greened up what would otherwise be a very “beige” landscape. It’s been beautiful […]

Take a Tour of the Salt Lake Temple
Ever wondered what the inside of the Salt Lake Temple looks like? Here’s a glimpse! The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has opened up a new exhibit where you can “virtually” tour the Salt Lake Temple through kiosks that include photos of the actual rooms in the temple accompanied by narration explaining the […]
Lovable Squishable Kissable Hershey
Hershey is 7-1/2 months old! Where did the time go? She is definitely starting to develop a little personality all her own. She’s a petite little thing, much like Bon Bon was as a baby. She only weighs 15 pounds. We just started feeding her baby cereal and other foods a couple of weeks ago. […]
Wordfull Wednesday – Service for Others
A kind word, a simple deed. Opportunities to serve are limitless and present themselves everyday. The best way for children to learn to serve is by example. I remember seeing my parents help others in a variety of ways when I was growing up. I especially remember the small acts of service they did for […]
Making Handmade Journals
I’ve joined the Service Boot Camp hosted by Jocelyn at We Talk of Christ, We Rejoice in Christ. We made these journals for the Write It Out Project, which provides journals for grieving military widows to help them cope with their loss and grief. Jocelyn is also hosting a giveaway full of 20 patriotic prizes […]
Down and Out
See this pretty little dear? She’s got some sort of flu bug. Poor thing was throwing up last night and dry heaving really bad. Her whole body would go completely limp after each little bout. I absolutely hate when my babies are sick. I feel so terrible for them. And I’m sure they feel hopeless […]
Cookie Mosaic
Miss Cookie Monster has more nicknames than the rest of the kids except for Hershey. She is smart as a whip. Which is wonderful but also frightening at the same time. Her memorization skills are phenomenal. © 2007-2009 Chocolate on my Cranium, LLC all rights reserved © 2007-2013 Chocolate on my Cranium, LLC all rights […]
Lighting Help, Please
We are in the process of designing a new addition that will be built on our house. I am so VERY excited! The addition will include a new kitchen and laundry room. Both will be about twice the size of their current rooms. Yeehaw! I’ll go into detail about those rooms in other posts. When […]
i♥faces: week 20 Faces & Flowers
This week the challenge for i ♥ faces is to have a flower somewhere in the photo. It was very hard to narrow down my entry for this week. I have quite a few good ones taken of Hershey and several of my newborn nieces as well. I decided to go with this one in […]

Good Reading
I’ve been getting the itch to make more quilts. It’s the fault of two books. This one my parents sent to me a couple of weeks ago. The Farmer’s Wife Sampler Quilt: Letters from 1920s Farm Wives and the 111 Blocks They Inspired It’s a collection of excerpts from essays written by farm wives in […]
Wordfull Wednesday: Caring for Your Family
“Caring for your Family – How do you let them know you care about them? What do you do as parents to show your children they are loved? “Husband and wife have a solemn responsibility to love and care for each other and for their children.” (Family Proclamation, paragraph 6)” Cooking, cleaning, laundry. Hugs, kisses, […]
Handcut Silhouettes
Ah, the silhouette. Timeless, classic, endearing. I LOVE silhouettes. I use them on my bookplates. And recently, while going through some old files I found some silhouettes I’d done of my three oldest girls when they were little and still had some baby fat on them. So darling! There are plans in the works to […]
