Anne of Green Gables quote

All this week I’m sharing all things Anne. It started when I decided to get a birthday package together to send to Bon Bon at college. It has been so much fun creating crafts and gathering ideas for her and her roommates to do…all while having an Anne of Green Gables movie marathon of course! […]

Written on Our Hearts Review and Giveaway

October 17, 2013 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 30 Comments

Right now in seminary we are just getting to the chapters in 2 Nephi where Isaiah is quoted extensively. Anyone that has read Isaiah knows how hard it can be to understand and apply his words….unless you take one phrase at a time. As you begin to study a phrase here and a phrase there […]

Haying is Done!

October 11, 2013 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 4 Comments

The weather cleared up enough that the teens (and two 12 year olds) were able to finish raking the rest of the hay and the men were able to bale it shortly after that. They are currently hauling the last five pivots of hay bales as I type this. Hooray! My sister-in-law took these pictures […]

The Romney Family Table

October 10, 2013 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 7 Comments

I firmly believe the kitchen can be a holy place. It is where we, as mothers (and some fathers), spend a great majority of our time preparing meals, baking goodies, doing dishes, and most importantly of all, enjoying the company of our family as we gather to cook and eat together. If you think about […]

This is the view from my deck this morning. Bales and bales of hay waiting to be hauled, with mist and snow on the mountains, and a slight drizzle of rain in the valley. This was the view from my deck yesterday. With the impending rainy weather coming, as much hay as possible was put […]

Yellowstone Through the Kids’ Eyes

October 2, 2013 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 1 Comment

For our trip to Yellowstone I thought it would be fun to get the younger ones, who don’t have cameras, their own $5 disposable camera to use on our trip. They were so excited when they found out! Some were very careful with what they took pictures of, others were pretty shutter happy – until […]

Our Trip to Yellowstone

October 1, 2013 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 12 Comments

Since you can’t visit Yellowstone right now, I thought I’d share photos of our visit there. I realize they aren’t spectacular in any way and there aren’t a ton of the actual scenery. I was too busy being in the moment to worry about capturing it with my camera. Plus, I’m afraid of heights so […]
