Step 1: Cut 6 white or silver chenille sticks in half. Step 2: Gather all but one stick together in a bunch. Wrap the one around the middle of the […]
The Symbols of Christmas
“Christmas is such a joyful time of year. The spirit of brotherly kindness and charity is more evident in the hearts of men. We feel a greater desire to serve and give to others. Unfortunately, the true meaning of Christmas and what we, as Christians, celebrate can easily be lost because of all the commercialism […]
Printable Advent Calendar
I meant to post this earlier but a sweet little Hershey baby had other plans. She thought mother should hold her all morning. It was so nice to have an excuse to snuggle on the couch. 🙂 I fancy advent calendars of all types. We have a big one my father made from desk organizer […]

My Gratitude List Day 30
Day 30: Mi Amor. 15 years of marriage, 8 children, 5 houses, and two farms later and we’re still madly in love. He’s my complement in every way. © 2007-2009 Chocolate on my Cranium, LLC all rights reserved © 2007-2013 Chocolate on my Cranium, LLC all rights reserved
My Gratitude List Day 29
Day 29: First Smiles. Love those big toothless grins when babies realize they can “talk” back through facial expressions and coos. © 2007-2009 Chocolate on my Cranium, LLC all rights reserved © 2007-2013 Chocolate on my Cranium, LLC all rights reserved
My Gratitude List Day 28
Day 28: The Smell of Pine Nuts Roasting. Around this time of year raw pine nuts start showing up in bulk at the local grocery stores for about $10 a pound. Way to expensive for the amount we eat around here. It’s much more fun to go up in the mountains, find a good pinion […]
My Gratitude List Day 27
Day 27: My Mother. Thirty-two years ago today she brought me into this world. She has taught me so much about being happy, serving others, being self-less. She’s the perfect example of a mother. Someday, I hope to be just like her. I love you, Mom! © 2007-2009 Chocolate on my Cranium, LLC all rights […]

Handmade Stocking Stuffer Ideas
I despise the commercialism that surrounds Christmas. To avoid it as much as we can we make our Christmas as handmade as possible. The hardest part for me is coming up with things to fill the kids’ stockings. This year I decided to prepare ahead of time so I wouldn’t be running to the store […]

My Gratitude List Day 24
Day 24: Sleeping Babies. There something so sweet & innocent about a sleeping baby. Here Hershey is snuggled up with Semisweet. Don’t you just want to lean over and smooch that cheek a little? And look! She’s got the long eyelashes that every single one of the rest of the children have. Hurrah! © 2007-2009 […]
My Gratitude List Day 23
Day 23: My Children. I love that they are each unique. Even though they all come from the same gene pool, their talents, abilities, and personalities are different from one another. © 2007-2009 Chocolate on my Cranium, LLC all rights reserved © 2007-2013 Chocolate on my Cranium, LLC all rights reserved
