Literary Likenesses

January 15, 2012 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 7 Comments

I kind of side skirted answering my own question for Wordfull Wednesday. I wrote what my children thought, rather than who I identified with, and some of you noticed. =) The reason is there really isn’t ONE fictional character that I solely identify with completely. There are, however, many that I can relate to for […]

What fictional character do you identify the most with? I put this question to my older girls asking them what fictional character I remind them of the most. Here’s how the conversation went down {to the best of my memory}. Bon Bon: Ma. Semisweet and Brownie: Ma? Bon Bon: Yeah, you know Ma Kettle. Me: […]

About Me

January 8, 2012 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 35 Comments

I think I’ve been agonizing too much over what to write for an about me page. Consequently I’ve been putting it off. Now I have forced myself to sit and write until it is done, using an old post for inspiration. Who am I? I am… . . . a baby when I hold a […]

Printable Perpetual Calendar – thankful scripture verses

January 5, 2012 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 14 Comments

Is January 6th to late to post a printable perpetual calendar? I didn’t think so. Perpetual calendars are great for just keeping track of birthdays, anniversaries, and other special dates without having to transfer those to a new calendar each year. While these can be used in the traditional way, I created these two perpetual […]

Eucharisteo

January 3, 2012 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 11 Comments

{early morning light in my daughter’s bedroom} For the last few months I have been on a personal journey. I’ve realized this is the only real ‘goal’ I want to carry forward going into the new year. Not because I don’t want to accomplish other things or better myself but because this one thing has […]

Flying High

January 2, 2012 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 5 Comments

On Saturday I had the unexpected opportunity to ride in a small airplane over our valley. I am terrified of heights but surprisingly was not afraid to fly in this tiny little thing. It was a lot of fun! My only remorse is I forgot to get a picture of my four younger children (Special […]

He used wooden office supply drawers typically used for the top of desks, attached knobs to the fronts of each drawer and then numbered and decorated them to match our tastes. If you look closely you can see our brand. The first year Grandma […]

It’s no secret I grew up surrounded by music. My parents made sure we all took piano lessons. My dad played the guitar and would serenade us to sleep in the evenings. It was his way to relax after a stressful day but it was also wonderful for us. We loved to sing together. I […]
