#LightTheWorld by Serving Others

November 25, 2016 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 1 Comment

In this season where our hearts are filled with gratitude to God it naturally follows that we have an increased desire to serve Him and His children. One of the names Jesus Christ called himself was “Light of the World.” “Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he […]

The Christmas Project movie

Think of some of your favorite Christmas traditions. Ours usually involve some type of service. But also a lot of Christmas movie watching, especially on the Hallmark Channel. Tell me we aren’t the only ones who do that! Last night my family and I watched a really great Christmas movie called The Christmas Project. We laughed […]

Last week I posted how easy Chatbooks are to create. I received a few emails and messages asking about the ancestor photos books. Here’s a quick tutorial on how I created mine. I started by finding ancestor photos. We had quite a few already. I also looked online at Family Search and was able to […]

Remember Who You Are

November 6, 2016 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} Leave a Comment

November is my favorite month of the year. It appeals to my senses: pumpkin everything, campfires, crisp fall air, apple butter, golds and maroons and deep purples. Gratitude is brought to the forefront and with it, remembering. Spencer W. Kimball taught that the word ‘remember’ was the most important word in the dictionary. There are […]

Have You Heard of Chatbooks?

chatbook photo book

My first five girls have scrapbooks with all their pictures arranged on cute little pages. The next three kids have all their pictures stuffed into photo page protectors. The last three have nothing or almost nothing. But I’m working on it! When Henry was born I heard about an app called Chatbooks. It links to […]

Christmas Gifts From Amazon

October 28, 2016 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} Leave a Comment

Amazon is one of my favorite online stores. I mostly use it for the Subscribe and Save program where I purchase regular items on a monthly basis. Things like tissue, Clorox disinfectant wipes, diapers and wipes, lotion, shampoo and conditioner, etc. If you are a Prime Member you just can’t beat their free shipping or […]

Uncommon Gifts

birth month flower necklace

It’s that time of year! I went shopping in Reno last week and already, before October even started, the stores were setting out their Christmas displays. I have mixed feeling about it because 1) I hate how commercialized Christmas is and 2) I start seriously shopping, creating, crafting for Christmas gifts in September so everything is […]

Summer Boredom Busters

Summer Boredom Busters

Summer! With all the bike riding, yard races, swimming, picnics, swings and sliding there are still times when kids get bored. I am a HUGE believer in letting them be bored. They eventually use their imaginations, make up games, find a book to read, or bake cookies. If you are looking for a little more […]

You Are a Child of God FHE Lesson

April 10, 2016 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 5 Comments

You are a child of God

In the April 2016 General Conference Elder Donald L. Hallstrom said, “Here on earth, we identify ourselves in many different ways, including our place of birth, our nationality, and our language. Some even identify themselves by their occupation or their hobby. These earthly identities are not wrong unless they supersede or interfere with our eternal […]

He is Risen

How glorious to know that because of Jesus Christ we will be with our loved ones again. How magnificent to realize He has swallowed up our sorrows. How blessed to feel His love for me.
