I was beginning to think I’d never get this posted. Our power has been on and off all day. Looks like it’s finally on to stay. I began making gingerbread houses when I just had Bon Bon and Semisweet. It has become a tradition we all look forward to every year. It is always a […]
Hansel and Gretel would approve
We’ve been creating these today. Semisweet’s Cookie’s Bon Bon’s Fudge’s Truffle’s Brownie’s (love the reindeer!) Moi’s Recipe, instructions, and templates coming on Saturday. I’m in charge of the church Christmas party this year. It will be over tomorrow night. Whew! I hope it goes well. We have a few short breather days before Mr. Ferrero […]
Wordfull Wednesday: Favorite Christmas Song, Carol or Hymn
Why do I give out assignments I think will be easy but they end up being hard for me? I love, love, LOVE Christmas music. I cannot narrow my favorite down to just one. You get stuck with knowing my three favorite Christmas songs. Fum, Fum, Fum is a traditional Catalan carol believed to be […]
MIA
I know I’ve been missing in action for several days. My parents came to visit the last half of last week. Truffle was baptized on Saturday. And right now I am in a surgical center waiting for Fudge and Cookie to have dental procedures done. Hopefully by tomorrow life will get back to a more […]
Symbols of Christmas FHE
This lesson teaches what some of the symbols of Christmas are and what they represent. The idea for this lesson came from several sources. Every December we do what the girls call fun school. Instead of regular school we do unit studies about Christmas or winter. One unit study that we’ve done several times is […]
Wordfull Wednesday Winners for October and November
Sorry it has taken so long to pick the winner for October’s Wordfull Wednesday but the prizes I have for both October and November go together so I waited to do them in one post. To start with, please watch the video Reflections of Christ. Isn’t that beautiful? Mark Mabry, the photographer, decided he needed […]
Christmas in the Book of Mormon FHE
I’m so excited to share this family home evening lesson with you! It teaches what happened here on the American continent when Jesus Christ was born in Jerusalem. Using scriptural references from the Book of Mormon and the Bible your family will learn about the prophesies given by Samuel the Lamanite and the events that […]
911…There’s no emergency
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 […]
Key Lime Cheesecake
When I was little my family lived in Miami, Florida for five years. We learned to love mangoes and key lime pie. Every Thanksgiving since then it is mandatory that we have a key lime pie to indulge ourselves when dessert time comes. It must be made with real KEY LIME juice or it’s just […]

Christmas Gift Ideas
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 […]
Hootenanny with Apple-Raisin Sauce
Growing up my husband’s family called these puffed oven pancakes “Germans.” They’re also known as hootenanny. We usually eat them with butter and syrup but yesterday we had apple-raisin sauce minus the raisins. The kids don’t like raisins. Hootenanny 4 tablespoons butter6eggs1 cup milk1 cup flour1/2 tsp. salt Place butter in a 9×13 cake pan. […]
Tiny Birthday Cakes
Isn’t this little cake cute? Friday night we made twelve of them in preparation for Truffle’s birthday party on Saturday. She was having a doll tea party so naturally each doll had to have it’s own cake too. For each tiny cake you need two sandwich cookies (we used Oreos), frosting and sprinkles. Put a […]
Egg Nog French Toast
One of the surest signs that the holidays are really here is the presence of eggnog in the dairy aisle at the grocery store. We literally drink gallons and gallons before its gone for another year. This past week we decided to add it to the egg mixture for our french toast. It was heavenly! […]
Another one bites the dust
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 […]
