Whew! When I actually sat down to fulfill this assignment it was definitely harder than I thought it would be! I felt like I was writing an epitaph or something. =) I realized maybe I was thinking to hard – trying to come up with something profound and deep. When I broke through that barrier […]
8 days and counting….
No baby yet. Not surprised though since all my kids came pretty close to the due date. Bon Bon was 7 days early; Semisweet and Truffle were 5 days early; Cookie and Special Dark came 3 days early; Fudge came the day before her due date; and Brownie, the little stinker, arrived 3 days late […]
Satan’s Web FHE
Pin It Taking advantage of the Halloween decorations in stores right now I created this family home evening lesson to show how Satan tries to ensnare us in his web of sin. A nice visual to have up all month long – a big spider web with word strips of different temptations or sins. For […]
Super Moist Pumpkin Cobbler
I think besides chocolate and potatoes, pumpkins have to be my favorite food. I can’t ever seem to get enough, especially this time of year. We had a family get-together earlier this week and my sister-in-law brought this delicious pumpkin dessert. We loved it so much Bon Bon made it again yesterday. Super Moist Pumpkin […]
Meet Argyle
Argyle is one of those things. You either love it or hate it. When looking for ideas to paint the girls’ bedrooms we came upon one room with an argyle type design and Bon Bon fell in love with it. Fudge, who will be sharing the bedroom, is so easy-going it didn’t take much to […]
Two Bedrooms are done!
Two of the girls’ bedrooms are finally done! We did all the painting, installed new carpet and have moved all their furniture in. The third bedroom will done today (Thursday) and it looks very cool. Here’s the finished paint jobs. I didn’t take any before pictures because they were just white walls. The first room […]
Six Little Words
Knowing I won’t have much time next week while we finish getting everything ready for the arrival of #8, I chose a very short but NOT simple Wordfull Wednesday assignment for next Wednesday, Oct. 7. I wanted it short so I could still have the time to read and visit everyone’s posts! Back in 2006, […]
I ♥ Faces Week 38: Blue
Love the 3 for $1 swirly lollipops! They provide some fun, cheap entertainment. Unless, of course, you only happen to pick up three and there are at least four littles at home fighting over them. =) What was I thinking? Thank goodness this one decided they didn’t taste all that great and gave hers to […]
October 15…
Excitement doesn’t even begin to cover it. Not only are we expecting a new little one to arrive any day now, but on October 15 I will “officially” be a part of the Heart of the Matter Online Magazine when my first article will be published! I get to write about two of my passions […]
Listening to Our Leaders FHE
Carrying on with the tower theme from last week’s lesson, this week the family home evening lesson is about King Benjamin’s sermon from the tower to his people and the similarities it has with General Conference today when we listen to the Prophet speak to us. For those who don’t have a Scribd account you […]
Remember this touching slideshow “Reflections of Christ?” The talented photographer Mark Mabry used live models to depict scenes of Christ’s life from the New Testament. Well, they’ve done it again. The amazing photography of Mark Mabry has been set to beautiful music by Clyde Bawden in a short slideshow depicting scenes from Christ’s visit to […]
Spiced Pumpkin Waffles
When I first made these a couple of weeks ago I was worried my family wouldn’t like them. My fears were set to rest however when Special Dark (the pickiest of the bunch) came and started licking the batter from his fingers, over and over again! These are not too pumpkin-y. In fact I heard […]

Here are some links to good packets, activity cards, and ideas to prepare your children for this special weekend of listening to the Prophet and Apostles speak to us.

General Conference Wall
We are looking forward to watching General Conference the first weekend in October. This year we are preparing our family to hear the words of the Prophet and Apostles speak to us by having two special family home evening lessons, printing off Apostle cards, and creating a General Conference Wall in our living room where […]
Wordfull Wednesday: Who am I?
I’m taking the easy route with today’s assignment. I created a wordle word cloud using words that describe me – physical characteristics, favorites, personality, etc. I decided to go quirky with my self-portrait. =) © 2007-2009 Chocolate on my Cranium, LLC all rights reserved Join us for Wordfull Wednesday!
