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

April 23, 2009 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 10 Comments

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

April 22, 2009 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 3 Comments

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

April 21, 2009 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 11 Comments

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

April 19, 2009 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 1 Comment

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 […]

“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!

Do Re Mi

April 16, 2009 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 4 Comments

I posted this a couple of days ago on our personal family blog but thought I’d share it here to. Saturday the girls had a Harry Potter marathon. It was their reward for helping to deep clean all week long during their Spring break. And they did it without complaint! So while I finished sewing […]

Wordfull Wednesday: Be Inspired

April 14, 2009 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 13 Comments

I sat down to write this post and drew a big blank. Not because there aren’t things that inspire me. I just couldn’t narrow it down. And then when I thought I had it narrowed down I realized it I was breaking my own instructions to “write about either a person or scene that has […]
