This is the second in a series of posts about cooking with children. Read the first post here. Meal Planning We all want our families to eat healthy. This can be hard when we have picky eaters that only like noodles, bread, and shredded wheat cereal. Not very well rounded, right? Teaching my children to […]
Wordfull Wednesday: Poetry
I feel like I’m back in grade school with this assignment. Why is it so hard for me to write poetry? Maybe I’m afraid to just let go, to let my emotions break through. Or maybe I just haven’t experienced poetry enough. Regardless, here are my juvenile attempts. A sense poem from day 19 of […]
I ♥ Faces Adults: Week 16 Reflections
You’re stuck with the standard reflection in the mirror for this week’s I ♥ Faces challenge. Couldn’t get any good shots of other things I was thinking of…and that’s what I get for waiting until Tuesday afternoon to even start! © 2007-2013 Chocolate on my Cranium, LLC all rights reserved
I ♥ Faces Kids: Week 16 Reflections
The photos this week need to have a reflection of a face in them. During breakfast one of the girls asked why her reflection in the spoon was upside down on one side and right side up on the other. Bingo! The idea for this week’s kids entry was born. And yes, our spoons are […]

Okay, ladies, print this lesson off and give it to your husbands. They are in charge of this lesson! I’m posting it this week so they have a full week to prepare to give this family home evening lesson on the Monday before Mother’s Day. It’s a fun lesson that teaches the family to show […]
BBQ Chicken Pizza
One of the easiest,cheapest things to make is pizza. My girls LOVE to cook pizza. Every once in a while I can talk one of them in to trying a new pizza recipe to break us out of the rut of cheese, pepperoni, or Hawaiian. This BBQ Chicken Pizza was an instant hit. It fast […]
Teaching Kids to Cook Part I
Every child loves to help cook and bake. The magic of mixing ingredients together to produce yummy cookies and getting to spend time with mom or dad in the process of it all creates some fun experiences. It can also become overwhelming when there are too many helpers that create a bigger mess taking more […]
Next Wordfull Wednesday Topic for April 29
Last Friday I took the kids to the park to have a little “Poetry in the Park” for an hour. It was fun, relaxing, and enjoyable. I’ve never been drawn to poems much. Oh, I’ve read quite a few, studied some poets and their lives, etc. But poetry has never been a medium that “speaks” […]

I ♥ Faces Adult: Week 15 Self Portrait
Yikes! The theme this week is self-portrait with the stipulation that we must be holding the camera – no tripod use or placing the camera on something else. I headed to my favorite red barn backdrop and started shooting away. It was a lot of fun! The trouble with so many pictures is deciding which […]

Come What May, and Love It FHE
Based on Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin’s October 2008 General Conference talk this family home evening lesson is geared for older children as there is more discussion and less “fun stuff.” For some reason the lessons are printing really big, cutting some of the images off. The best way to avoid this is to download the […]
Paul Revere’s Ride
“Listen my children and you shall hearOf the midnight ride of Paul Revere,On the eighteenth of April, in Seventy-five;Hardly a man is now aliveWho remembers that famous day and year.” Boy do I ever remember having to memorize that poem in Mrs. Humble’s 8th grade literature class! Thankfully we only had to memorize the first […]
