Last week we took a trip to visit Mr. Ferrero Rocher’s sister in St. George, UT. One of the things we did was hike up Cinder Cone Trail to the top of this cinder cone volcano. There are actually two parts to the trail or two ways up to the top – straight up 500 […]

My Treasures

Last week was our Spring break. We traveled together visiting some sights in southern Utah  (more about that later). And then, yesterday, we spent the whole day together just relaxing, listening to beautiful music, attending church, and eating a delicious dinner.  I can’t help but feel overwhelming gratitude for this family of mine! I love […]

Happy Easter!

Just a few wonderful links and videos for today to help you celebrate Easter. The Mormon Tabernacle Choir gave a live performance of Handel’s Messiah Friday evening.

The Amateur Naturalist

April 18, 2014 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 2 Comments

I know Christmas was over 3.5 months ago but I just have to rave about one of the gifts Fudge received. She is my nature lover. She is the first to notice any hint of growth from plants in the spring. She talks to flowers, watches for bugs, and just enjoys being outside whenever she […]

#StartingToday . . . What Will You Do?

April 14, 2014 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 1 Comment

Outside we are seeing evidences of the hope that spring brings. Nests are being built, flowers are beginning to bloom, the earth is shaking off its cold covering and awakening from a winter’s slumber. Witnessing nature’s renewing turns our thoughts to Jesus Christ “and all things which have been given of God from the beginning […]

April 2, 2014 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 3 Comments

I might read a whole chapter in one sitting or I might decided to read only a verse or two and study just those verses, pondering and cross-referencing to other scriptures. Starting on Monday I’ll be reading the Book of Mormon in […]
