There is an older gentleman at our church who is Greek. When biblical passages are discussed it is fascinating to listen to his viewpoints and to hear him explain certain words because of his knowledge of the Greek language, the original language of the New Testament. Is it any wonder I enjoy finding sources that […]

The Symbols of Christmas
“Christmas is such a joyful time of year. The spirit of brotherly kindness and charity is more evident in the hearts of men. We feel a greater desire to serve and give to others. Unfortunately, the true meaning of Christmas and what we, as Christians, celebrate can easily be lost because of all the commercialism […]
Printable Advent Calendar
I meant to post this earlier but a sweet little Hershey baby had other plans. She thought mother should hold her all morning. It was so nice to have an excuse to snuggle on the couch. 🙂 I fancy advent calendars of all types. We have a big one my father made from desk organizer […]
My Gratitude List Day 30
Day 30: Mi Amor. 15 years of marriage, 8 children, 5 houses, and two farms later and we’re still madly in love. He’s my complement in every way. © 2007-2009 Chocolate on my Cranium, LLC all rights reserved © 2007-2013 Chocolate on my Cranium, LLC all rights reserved
My Gratitude List Day 29
Day 29: First Smiles. Love those big toothless grins when babies realize they can “talk” back through facial expressions and coos. © 2007-2009 Chocolate on my Cranium, LLC all rights reserved © 2007-2013 Chocolate on my Cranium, LLC all rights reserved
My Gratitude List Day 28
Day 28: The Smell of Pine Nuts Roasting. Around this time of year raw pine nuts start showing up in bulk at the local grocery stores for about $10 a pound. Way to expensive for the amount we eat around here. It’s much more fun to go up in the mountains, find a good pinion […]

My Gratitude List Day 24
Day 24: Sleeping Babies. There something so sweet & innocent about a sleeping baby. Here Hershey is snuggled up with Semisweet. Don’t you just want to lean over and smooch that cheek a little? And look! She’s got the long eyelashes that every single one of the rest of the children have. Hurrah! © 2007-2009 […]
