I used to think farmers weren’t very smart. I even admitted this to Mr. Ferrero Rocher the first year we were married. I also acknowledged I was very wrong and naive. I had no idea all the things one needed to know to raise a good crop. Most of the things Mr. Ferrero Rocher, his […]
Coming up for air
I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Only a couple more hectic days left for the first cutting of the season. The girls have one more day of raking while the men have a few more days of baling left. I’ve taken some video of the whole operation and hope I […]
Outdoor Hour #16 – Planting Sunflowers
I’ve been lax in posting about our Outdoor Hour activities (formerly known as Green Hour, read here for why it changed). Our busy season for farming is now upon us and we are just trying to survive by getting enough sleep! We skipped #14 and #15 because we still don’t have many flowers to press […]
Must See Websites
I’ve come across some really great sites that I want to share with you. My ubber cool brother, the film major, let me know about this fantastic movie rating site Kids-In-Mind. They don’t rate films with a regular G, PG, PG-13 or R rating but instead rate films on a scale of 0 – 10 […]
You Are Special Days
I just adore my children. I enjoy being around them, watching their interactions with one another, observing their attempts to try new things or develop their talents. I realize because I have so many kiddos that sometimes they can feel lost in the shuffle or overlooked. I try to take a different child with me […]

Passage To Zarahemla
Chris Heimerdinger (that last name is almost as funny as my first name!) is a staple at our house. Or, I should say, his books are. I grew up reading the first half of the Tennis Shoes Among the Nephites series (I’m only 30) and now have my older girls hooked on them. My oldest […]
I made Pioneer Woman Laugh!
Ree at Confessions of a Pioneer Woman had a “name that photo” contest yesterday afternoon. I never can figure out a good entry for those things so I usually don’t enter but I did yesterday and she said it made her laugh! Really! Go look here and scroll down to “Chuckie No Cheese”. I decided […]
Oh What Do You Do In the Summertime?
Ahh…the good old summertime when school is out and carefree days are full of swimming, bike riding, street ball, reading. Then the second week of summer vacation starts and you begin to hear every once in a while the whiny sounds of “I’m bored”. It gradually crescendos so by the third week your ready to […]
A Purple Cow?
I love books! Old books, used books, tattered books, new books. I love reading books to my children. And I’m pretty sure they love being read to. I have fond memories of my parents reading books to me. Now they read to their grandchildren. Growing up one of our family’s favorite outing was going to […]
Love Thursday: Baby Boy Blue
Was going through some old photos and came across these that Mr. Ferrero Rocher took when Special Dark was still a newborn. Obviously Mr. FR hadn’t learned how to focus with the new camera yet, but I love it anyway. © 2007-2013 Chocolate on my Cranium, LLC all rights reserved
Who says books are just for reading?
They also hold down blankets and material for creating the perfect “Princess Boudoir”. Yes, they really call it that. They got the term from watching Friendly Persuasion, so Fancy Nancy of them.(hint for Grandma: They now have Fancy Nancy Dolls and outfits at Target!) © 2007-2013 Chocolate on my Cranium, LLC all rights reserved
Is it summer yet?
After a very short, cold spring, I think summer has finally arrived. This is our last week of school for a while, the hay is almost ready for its first cutting, the temperature over the last week has been an idyllic 75-80 degrees, and I no longer feel like making homemade bread. That happens when […]
