Oh What Do You Do in the Summertime {2}
Here’s a reposting of my summer activity list from last year. It has been updated with more ideas to have fun with your children this summer. I always feel so sad for those children whose parents dread the end of school, who fear having their children home all day, who don’t enjoy their children. Now […]
Prayer {1} FHE
I received a couple of requests to post a family home evening lesson on Prayer. This week’s lesson was prepared by Mindy Z. from one of my earlier FHE Swap groups. It is a simple yet effective lesson to teach children how to pray reverently. It includes a moveable figure to put together to show […]
Strawberry Torte
Last month for Relief Society we had a progressive “Dinner Around the World.” We had an appetizer from Ecuador, a main dish from England, and this Strawberry Torte from Germany. I was asked to make the torte. The recipe is actually fairly simple but does require time. It tastes heavenly!!!! I changed the instructions of […]
Cool Summer Days Calendar Tutorial
Last year I posted about the tradition we have in our family to do Cool Summer Days, a summer activity calendar. The response I received to that post was HUGE. There’s been several links to it again this year. Today I’m going to show you how to sew your own calendar for your family. You […]
I ♥ Faces Kids: Week 20 Silhouettes
This week is all about silhouettes at I ♥ Faces. I immediately knew the perfect photo to use from my archives. This was taken two years ago when Special Dark was still crawling around. He was getting tired of all the picture taking and promptly started to cry. All six older sisters jumped up to […]
Wordfull Wednesday: My Favorite Teacher
The only light entering the room came through a narrow strip of window where the black construction paper taped to it did not quite reach the bottom. Even though 35 eighth graders were in the room there was silence save the scratchy male voice coming from the old record player…”If still you think me mad, […]
The Itty-Bitty Bookworm: Review and Giveaway
****THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED**** I love books. Let me say that again, I LOVE BOOKS!!! That would explain why I am drawn to home-school curriculum that is literature based like Sonlight, Ambleside Online, and Beautiful Feet. My children and I enjoy doing unit studies centered around books. There’s always some book we are reading […]
Sacrament Meeting and the Sacrament FHE
Based on Elder Dallin H. Oaks’s October 2008 General Conference talk this lesson is chock full of wonderful activities and helps to teach your family about why we take the sacrament and how we should behave during the sacrament. The file is large, about 20 pages. The lesson is lengthy but can be broken down […]
Mexican Grilled Corn
My dad first made this for us several years ago while he was visiting, I think when Cookie was born. It is a recipe we look forward to making every summer. It is SO GOOD!!! Make sure to have plenty of ripe, sweet corn on hand to grill as everyone will come looking for seconds. […]

Be happy..
My friend Kinsey shared this on her blog and I just had to pass it along. Love seeing elderly couples have fun like this. Another thing making me smile today. I ♥ Faces giveaway for a free allPopart canvas. I can’t decide which I like better: Warhol, iconographic, or retropop. © 2007-2013 Chocolate on my […]
