Sing Along Christmas Story FHE
I wanted to do a family home evening lesson about the history of some of the Christmas hymns but decided instead to create this sing along telling the story of the Savior’s birth. I have fond memories of singing Christmas songs with my family growing up. We do the same thing with our children now. […]
Phew! What a week!
This week has been crazy fun with lots of family, wedding festivities, and traveling. I am so glad it is over though and we can get back to our regular schedule. Mr. Ferrero Rocher’s youngest brother got married on Wednesday in the Reno Nevada Temple. That night we had a reception in his hometown. Before […]
Names of Christ FHE
Here is another of our Christmas unit studies turned into a family home evening lesson. Every year we learn other names Jesus is known by in the scriptures such as Shiloh, Messiah, Bread of Life, etc. Learning these names helps us learn more about what Christ has done for us and what His attributes are. […]
Gingerbread Houses
I was beginning to think I’d never get this posted. Our power has been on and off all day. Looks like it’s finally on to stay. I began making gingerbread houses when I just had Bon Bon and Semisweet. It has become a tradition we all look forward to every year. It is always a […]
Hansel and Gretel would approve
We’ve been creating these today. Semisweet’s Cookie’s Bon Bon’s Fudge’s Truffle’s Brownie’s (love the reindeer!) Moi’s Recipe, instructions, and templates coming on Saturday. I’m in charge of the church Christmas party this year. It will be over tomorrow night. Whew! I hope it goes well. We have a few short breather days before Mr. Ferrero […]
Wordfull Wednesday: Favorite Christmas Song, Carol or Hymn
Why do I give out assignments I think will be easy but they end up being hard for me? I love, love, LOVE Christmas music. I cannot narrow my favorite down to just one. You get stuck with knowing my three favorite Christmas songs. Fum, Fum, Fum is a traditional Catalan carol believed to be […]
MIA
I know I’ve been missing in action for several days. My parents came to visit the last half of last week. Truffle was baptized on Saturday. And right now I am in a surgical center waiting for Fudge and Cookie to have dental procedures done. Hopefully by tomorrow life will get back to a more […]
Symbols of Christmas FHE
This lesson teaches what some of the symbols of Christmas are and what they represent. The idea for this lesson came from several sources. Every December we do what the girls call fun school. Instead of regular school we do unit studies about Christmas or winter. One unit study that we’ve done several times is […]
He hates kissing pictures
But I did it anyway before he had a chance to react. See the smile? He likes the kisses, just not seeing pictures of people kissing even if it is on the cheek. © 2007-2013 Chocolate on my Cranium, LLC all rights reserved
Next Wordfull Wednesday Topic For December 10
There’s just something about Christmas music that brings peace and joy and warmth to my heart. I love listening to all types of artists’ renditions of the classics and modern, newer songs that aren’t well know but have wonderful messages and melodies non-the-less. Next Wordfull Wednesday’s topic for December 10 is to tell us about […]

Importance of Being Modest
I have six beautiful daughters. They are growing up so fast! I’m a little intimidated about raising them in a world where the likes of Britney Spears, J-Lo, and Madonna are flashed across magazine covers wearing clothing that degrades. THAT IS NOT WHAT I WANT FOR MY DAUGHTERS! Does modesty need to be a thing […]
