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
From the bottom of her heart
Truffle’s always leaving love notes here and there. I save them all in a special box. © 2007-2013 Chocolate on my Cranium, LLC all rights reserved
Look Through Lenses of Love
“Mom, did you know you have hearts on your glasses? You look at the world through lenses of love.” Truffle was very sweet as I drove down the road. I only wish it were true more often than not. How would my perspective change looking through a filter of love? How would yours? © 2007-2013 […]
Just Grandpa and Me – Part Deux
Last Love Thursday was about Special Dark and his Grandpa W. This week it’s about Special Dark and Grandpa V. The Sunday Mr. Ferrero Rocher was sustained as the bishop of our ward my parents came for a visit to be a part of that special day. They also brought along Special Dark’s first white […]
Just Grandpa and Me
Mr. Ferrero Rocher is the third of ten kids. Between the six kids that are married there are 34 grandchildren. Makes for some big family gatherings! Cousins have so much fun playing with one another. It seems everyone looks out for everyone else and there’s always somebody around to help hold the babies. These pictures […]
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 […]
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 […]
Three Amigos
It seems these three are always together lately – making messes, reading books, playing outside. The two girls dote on their little brother (don’t we all) watching over him one minute, giving him reasons to kick or pinch them the next. Today they were content to play, happily sliding down the slide, rolling down the […]
Special Dark – My little man
Do all little boys steal your hearts? After six girls it’s hard to know whether we are just really biased about him or if he’s just a typical sweet/mean/silly/energetic boy. The lighting is terrible in these photos but I love them because of the candid moment they capture. Semisweet grabbed the camera Wednesday evening as […]
Sisterly Love
I just had to show this picture of Bon Bon and Brownie taken last year in April right after they both got braces. At the end of the day after ups and downs, disagreements or not, all the girls end up showing sisterly love for each other. I hope the camaraderie will continue throughout their […]
Walking with Grandma
I was going through some old pictures in my files and came across this one my dad took of Cookie and Grandma going for a walk. It was shortly after Special Dark was born so almost two years ago. My kids love going for walks with Grandma! © 2007-2013 Chocolate on my Cranium, LLC all […]
Can you see the heart?
I’ve been photographing the flowers in my “wild”flower garden trying to catalog all of them. Imagine my surprise when I noticed the heart in the petals of this flower later as I was labeling the photos on the computer. I’m not certain what type of flower this is. I believe it is some type of […]
Spud Nut
Ah, the humble potato: a worldwide food staple, non-fat, low calorie, never ending ways to cook it, comes in several different colors, delicious, healthy goodness. I’ve listed before some of my favorite potato dishes. I love potatoes! I even used to play with them as a little child, carrying them around like dolls. Now I […]
Where’s Your Honey?
I collect bees and beehives. Have I mentioned that before? I can’t remember. It started when Bon Bon was 4 and Semisweet was 3. We were learning about bees for school, in particular how all the worker bees were female. They decided since they work hard too that our school would be called Beehive Academy. […]
Sharing Sisterly Secrets
We spent last evening out on the lawn enjoying the slightly cool breeze, though the air was smoky from the California fires. It was good to be outside. Being cooped up in the “sick” house for two days is NOT fun! The girls are all recovering from their bout with the stomach flu. So far […]
