I’m part of a facebook group for LDS mothers with large families. In our conversations it’s interesting to see what we all do that is the same and what we do that is different in managing our families of more than six children. Last week the conversation was around how we serve our meals. Some […]
Five For Friday: Pinterest Edition
Monday morning rolled around, everyone was feeling so much better I was ready to tackle the world….or at least some projects that have been waiting in the wings. Also, Bon Bon’s laptop is having issues and won’t connect to the internet at all, and it’s finals week so she has been using my laptop which […]
The Necessities
It’s a beautiful white, pogonip Sunday morning. I love those mornings when it is so cold outside the windows of the house fog up because of all the warmth inside. When the kids left for church it was a chilly -7 outside. Brrrrr! Little Ganache and Hershey aren’t feeling very well so I stayed home […]
Five Things for Friday: New Beginnings
1. Remember my Eucharisteo post at the beginning of the year? I am pleased to say I have kept up counting gifts through my photography blog and reached 1,000 on December 31st! Now my plans are to get last year printed as a book, my own One Thousand Gifts, and a journal of sorts of […]
Winter Wonderland
Friday we woke up to one of my favorite things about winter here in Nevada POGONIP A Shoshone Indian word meaning white death. It is a freezing fog that covers everything in ice crystals. Think about it as a mix between snow and rock candy. Crystals form and build on top of each other, diamond […]
2012 Family Christmas Card
Our Christmas cards are done, stuffed into envelopes and ready to mail the next time we go to town {since our mailbox is 15 miles away}. If you normally get a card from us please don’t read further so you’ll be surprised when it arrives! I am sharing our card, slightly altered to fit the […]
Tuesday Tidbits
1.We got to spend Thanksgiving with my family – where all the men cook Thanksgiving dinner {but my girls couldn’t help but make something – like rolls, stuffing, and pie}. It was delicious! And so very relaxing for me. 2. My youngest sister was married the day after Thanksgiving. It was a joyful occasion! The […]
Five Things for Friday: Of Phones, Turkey, and Easter {yes, Easter!}
01. I got a new phone that can actually send and receive texts! Welcome to modern technology, right? I still don’t know yet whether this is a good thing or not. I was gone to Reno all day yesterday and received countless texts from my daughter who also got the same style of phone. It […]
Five for Friday: Good things Edition
01. After church last Sunday the kids and I took a little drive up Water Canyon to take pictures. Since Mr. Ferrero Rocher is the bishop of our ward he had some interviews and other church business to take care of and couldn’t come with us. How and when in the world did this young […]
Five for Friday: Procrastination Edition
1. I am supposed to be packing up the motorhome we are taking to Boise for the Boise Temple open house. Instead I am writing this post, checking e-mails, and drinking hot cocoa. Queen of procrastination right here! Sorry, Stephen’s Hot Cocoa, this stuff is way better! Though the Starbucks Hot Cocoa mix I got […]
When numbers align
How often does it happen that numbers align like this for someone? My sweet Fudge had a pretty neat milestone to celebrate a couple of weeks ago on her birthday. As you can see from her picture she was born ten years ago on October 10th at 10:10am. How cool is that?! © 2007-2012 Chocolate […]
Happenings
October 15th. My oldest was looking forward to this past Monday. Applications to attend BYU and BYU-Idaho in the fall of 2013 could be started that day. Until they couldn’t. She actually started the online application process last week but stalled when the option to attend for next fall wasn’t up yet. That magical day […]
Five Things for Friday
There’s been a lot going on but not much time to be on the computer lately. Today I thought I’d join in on Heather’s Five Things for Friday to help summarize our happenings. 1. Come next March I will be the mother of 10 children! TEN! That sounds like such a big number but when […]
Sweet Ol’ Summertime
Summer seems to be officially over. Kind of. We just started swathing {mowing} our fourth crop of hay which means a very busy time for the next two to three weeks. The weather is definitely beginning to change. The evenings cool down so by morning it is downright chilly outside. In the heat of summer […]
Poor, Poor Neglected Blog
Dear Poor Neglected Blog, I know you have been waiting patiently for me to update or write a fantastic post or something but I am rather busy right now with more important things. Plus my brain is fried. The three oldest started high school on Monday. We were going to start the younger children on […]
