Three Gardens and the First Easter FHE

March 14, 2016 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 5 Comments

Elder Bruce R. McConkie gave a powerful talk in General Conference called The Purifying Power of the Atonement. It would end up being his last talk as he died three weeks later. In that talk Elder McConkie said, “As we read, ponder, and pray, there will come into our minds a view of the three […]

Starting Demolition

March 10, 2016 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} Leave a Comment

We have been in our new kitchen/dining room plus laundry, pantry and school room addition for a whole year now. I can hardly believe it! I had planned on sharing all about it but we were so busy with Eve’s wedding, then baby Henry was born, then we were farming, etc. etc. I just haven’t […]

#MyForeverFamily Challenge

March 7, 2016 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 2 Comments

You may have noticed all my posts last week centered on family history. I loved writing about the ways we “do” family history! It doesn’t have to be boring. We make the dash between the birth and death dates of our ancestors come alive. You can too! I have joined with 14 other bloggers this […]

Spain. Mexico. England. Wales. France. Germany. Ireland. You say you know where your ancestors are from. But do you really? Have you ever looked at a map to see exactly where they were born, lived, and died? Websites like Rootsmapper  and Kinmapper are fun to do with your kids. It’s neat to see new points pop […]

The Kids’ Book of Family Stories

March 3, 2016 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 1 Comment

One of my favorite gifts ever is this simple little book, The Kids Book of Family Stories, that my grandmother put together for Christmas one year. As you can see my own copy has been very much loved. It starts off with a tree listing surnames in my family line. It is divided into two […]

Using Dolls to Share Family History Stories

March 2, 2016 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 3 Comments

As part of our female family history unit study my mom came up with this ingenious idea! My girls love their American Girl Dolls so my mom thought, “Why not use those dolls to share family history stories?” She sewed doll outfits to represent our different ancestors. This outfit represents the ones my sister, Vanessa, […]

Female Family History

March 1, 2016 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 5 Comments

Julie B. Beck once said, “We study our history to learn who we are. There is a worldwide hunger among good women to know their identity, value, and importance.”  Though Sister Beck was talking about learning the history of Relief Society, I think this applies to our family history as well. The Relief Society began […]

Fun Ways to Display Old Family Photos

February 29, 2016 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 8 Comments

This quote is one of our favorites when we talk about our ancestors. We would not be where we are or who we are without their sacrifices and examples. Because they mean so much to us we like to tell their stories and display their pictures so our children come to know them. They are […]

Always There are Those Angels

February 27, 2016 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 23 Comments

Always there are those angels who come and go all around us, seen and unseen, known and unknown, mortal and immortal. Jeffrey R. Holland #LDS #Mormon

I had an experience almost two months ago that I’ve felt I needed to share but haven’t because, well, there’s always the question “Why didn’t that happen to so-and-so but it did to you?” And I don’t know the answer. The best explanation I’ve found is at the end of the movie “The Cokeville Miracle”. If […]

The Nevada Caucus

February 24, 2016 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 2 Comments

I was a volunteer last night for our precinct at the Nevada Caucus. If you get the photo above, good for you! It was a silly joke my husband made at lunch yesterday asking what time the “rooster rump” was. 😉 I thought I would take a lot of pictures but was way to busy! […]

Sabbath Scenes

February 21, 2016 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 2 Comments

Here’s a glimpse of what Sundays are like around here. Church starts at 11am this year so there is a lot of time to fiddle around before we have to leave. Before church: Here’s a clip of the song Julia was playing. A little Sunday entertainment by six year old #Julia Book of Mormon Stories […]
