Yesterday was Fudge’s 6th birthday. She requested Chocolate Pancakes in the shape of a heart for her birthday breakfast. Her aunt had made some the last time we went to visit family in Fallon. I had to call her up to get the recipe knowing it wouldn’t be an exact thing. Mr. Ferrero Rocher’s youngest […]
Great FREE Homeschool Sites
This week at Heart of the Matter we were asked about our favorite free homeschooling sites. There are so many good ones out there. You can pretty much find one for every subject. Here’s a list of the ones we use most often. Online Games:Starfall – Cookie and Fudge love playing these games at least […]
Rapunzel The Purple Cow
Go check out Shannon Hale’s blog today. I am so excited! She used some of the pictures I took when we went to the Hales’ signing at The Purple Cow Bookstore. She even posted a picture of the older girls with her and Dean. How cool is that? © 2007-2013 Chocolate on my Cranium, LLC […]
Whispered Love
I took this picture late in the day while we were taking a family drive along the foothills of the mountains in our little valley. I asked Bon Bon if she could see why I took this picture for Love Thursday. She stared at it for a few seconds and then said, “Oh I get […]
Next Wordfull Wednesday Topic For October 15
Getting into the overall celebratoric (Is that a word? I don’t think it is) nature of the season. Next week’s Wordfull Wednesday topic is “My worst fear.” This came to me as I watched my soon-to-be-married brother-in-law take my baby up in the bucket truck. I am deathly afraid of heights. It’s only gotten worse […]
Can a chicken be any cuter?
Cookie (Chicken in a non-blog world) just had a birthday about a week ago. When I asked her how old she was, it took her minute tofigure out how to hold up that many fingers. But she eventually got it.Sheesh… you’d think she was homeschooled or something! © 2007-2013 Chocolate on my Cranium, LLC all […]
Spotlight Tuesday: Hank Hooper
Little kids are so full of life, aren’t they? They seem to have a never ending supply of energy. What do you do to help expel that energy in a good way? At our house we love to turn on some music and dance. Some days we feel like being ballerinas pirouetting about to Tchaikovsky’s […]
Sorry no FHE this week
Sorry there’s no family home evening lesson this week. I was busy spending the weekend with the family. There will definitely be a lesson next week! © 2007-2013 Chocolate on my Cranium, LLC all rights reserved
Messages of Faith

For those not familiar with our LDS faith, General Conference is a time where we hear words of instruction and counsel from the prophet, Thomas S. Monson, members of the Quorum of Twelve Apostles and […]

One Thing I’ve Learned From Homeschooling
“What would be the one thing you learned that you didn’t expect from homeschooling?“ That’s the question being asked at the Heart of the Matter today. Mr. Ferrero Rocher and I are pretty lucky. We were both homeschooled for high school, so when we fell in love, married, and started having our children it was […]
“Mom, if your child was starving and hungry and didn’t know how to cook would you make her some dinner or would you just work on the computer?” © 2007-2013 Chocolate on my Cranium, LLC all rights reserved
You’re my Chicken
Cookie, or Chicken as we like to call her, is always hanging around Mr. Ferrero Rocher trying to hold his hand, hug his leg, give him kisses, etc. I caught this moment during the summertime when we were taking family pictures. She had just finished telling her dad for the gazillionth time that day that […]
Wordfull Wednesday: My Favorite Season
I have a favorite memory from childhood. It involves leaves, fire, eating, family, cool weather, work, and last but not least, potatoes. I spent the first six years of my life in Salt Lake City, UT. Every fall my parents, two younger siblings, and I would rake the lawn, piling the leaves into the street […]
Presidential Election Links
I though it would be fun to post some links where you can find out more about each candidate’s position, whose views align more with yours. Select a Candidate from MPR Radio – Here you can take a short survey answering questions on various issues. You can choose not to answer any of the questions […]
