911…There’s no emergency

November 29, 2008 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 15 Comments

Kids can have some very vivid imaginations. Just ask a couple of my girls – Brownie and Semisweet to be exact. Thanksgiving afternoon all the womenfolk were gathered upstairs in my mother-in-law’s house discussing plans for the upcoming wedding of Mr. Ferrero Rocher’s youngest brother. Semisweet, Brownie and Cousin M came charging in giggling hysterically […]

So are you finished with your Christmas shopping yet? Or have you even started? Or do you plan on not really shopping but making gifts instead? Or both? We are almost done here. I’m actually behind schedule this year but I blame it on my brother-in-law who is getting married Dec. 17. All those wedding […]

Another one bites the dust

November 10, 2008 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 7 Comments

I’ve been absent for a few days from the blog. Posts have been posted but they were scheduled a week ago. I have been busy trying to mark another item off of my to-do list – the annual family calendar for Mr. Ferrero Rocher’s side. It is always a HUGE undertaking. Gathering photos, trying to […]

Thanks and Giving

October 30, 2008 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 60 Comments

Autumn is my favorite time of year. One of the main reasons is because I LOVE Thanksgiving. I think it’s wonderful to celebrate all the bounteous goodness God has blessed us with. To gather round with family and friends and enjoy good food and great company. It also helps that Thanksgiving is not so commercialized […]

Handmade Pledge

October 21, 2008 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 10 Comments

The holiday season is almost here. Can you believe that? I’m already behind. Usually I try to have all the Christmas gifts, Christmas cards, and other stuff like that completed by the end of October so I can sit back and enjoy the holidays without most of the stress. This year we are doing everything […]

This drink is da BOMB!

June 30, 2008 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 39 Comments

This drink is da BOMB - Layered red, white and blue patriotic drink fun for the 4th of July or any patriotic holiday.

Remember those bomb popsicles from your youth? My kids love the ones we get from Schwan’s. Its just plain fun to eat a striped popsicle with different flavors for each layer. Several years ago I decided to take the same concept and turn those bomb popsicles into a drink.     The results were one […]

Ribbon Headband Tutorial

April 6, 2008 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 29 Comments

The night before Easter I was trying to decide what to do in my daughters’ hair the next day. With six girls our Sunday mornings go a lot smoother when we plan ahead of time. I wanted them to be matching but not matching, do you know what I mean? I came up with the […]

Easter All Week

March 12, 2008 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 6 Comments

It’s Wednesday, which means it time for Scribbit’s Winter Bazaar, even though it’s almost Spring. Here’s another tradition we have at our house. We call it Easter All Week. I created simple little charts detailing what happened on each day of the last week of Jesus Christ’s life. It’s a great review for adults and […]

Doll Coffins

January 1, 2008 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 13 Comments

The girls knew Joseph was making them something for Christmas. When they asked him what he was doing he replied, “Making doll coffins.” He ended up making ten of these jewelry boxes. One for each of our six daughters (although only three got them for Christmas), one for me, and one for each of our […]

Edited: My complete study can be found here. Christmas is one of my favorite teaching times of the year. The children sense the specialness of the season making them more attune to what I try to teach them about Christ and Christmas. Our ‘normal’ school is abandoned for “Christmas School.” I love creating unit studies […]
