I totally stole these from my cousin Allison’s blog. I am so glad she is scanning all these old photos and posting them so the whole family has access to them. They are such a treasure! These are all the Mexican side of my family. I just have to show off my beautiful grandmother. The […]
Pregnancy Induced Insomnia
It’s 11pm. I should be in bed. I’m exhausted, stressed, and maybe a little bit cranky. The girls all went to bed by 9:30 but Special Dark just barely faded away. He had a late nap. Mr. Ferrero Rocher is out with his brothers baling three pivots of hay. It has to be done when […]
Pregnancy Enduced Remodeling
Nothing like pregnancy hormones kicking in to make me want to remodel or redesign every room in the house. I tell myself it’s out of necessity, after all we do need to make room for the new baby which means getting rid of the office to use as another bedroom, which leads to rearranging the […]
What Freedom Means to Me
Every year our local Lions Club hosts an essay contest for Junior and High School students on the topic “What Freedom Means to Me.” Bon Bon decided to enter. She sat at the computer for ten minutes and typed the following out. She won first place! We went to the Lions Club 4th of July […]
In which we have a devil of a day
Yesterday was one heck of a day. Emphasis on heck. Semisweet and I traveled to Reno so she could get her braces on. We had to take Mr. Ferrero Rocher’s truck as the suburban is acting up and I did not want to get stuck between here and there. That was alright, except I acted […]
Truth and Consequences
Thanks for the well wishes on the pregnancy! We are all very excited. The baby is due on October 13th which happens to be my grandmother’s birthday. Mr. Ferrero Rocher and the kids all want to find out what it is but I prefer waiting until the baby is born. Chances are we’ll find out […]
Gee, Thanks….I Think
Fudge: “Go ahead, Mom, have another scoop of ice cream.” Me: “Thanks, Fudge!” Fudge: “People won’t think your fat now because your are pregnant so you can eat whatever you want.” © 2007-2013 Chocolate on my Cranium, LLC all rights reserved
Do Re Mi
I posted this a couple of days ago on our personal family blog but thought I’d share it here to. Saturday the girls had a Harry Potter marathon. It was their reward for helping to deep clean all week long during their Spring break. And they did it without complaint! So while I finished sewing […]
Wordfull Wednesday: Be Inspired
I sat down to write this post and drew a big blank. Not because there aren’t things that inspire me. I just couldn’t narrow it down. And then when I thought I had it narrowed down I realized it I was breaking my own instructions to “write about either a person or scene that has […]
Why, Oh, WHY
Do I do this to myself? 18 yards of fabric 3 different dress patterns 40 buttonholes 40 buttons 2 spools of thread 1 dull pair of scissors because I sent all our good ones up with my brother-in-law to BYU-Idaho to get them sharpened for a buck a piece and a WHOLE WEEK”S WORTH OF […]
Savoring the moments this week…
Having the girls help me deep clean a different room in the house every day…….with NO COMPLAINTS! Reading all 7 Harry Potter books again because it’s spring break. RAIN! We never get enough rain here in Nevada. We opened the windows and smelled the wet dirt and sagebrush. There are very few things that smell […]
Oh that’s good, no that’s bad
Whew! What a weekend we’ve had filled with ups, downs, and sideways. It reminds me of the children’s book “That’s Good! That’s Bad!” For the most part it was good with several bads thrown in to remind us to appreciate the goods. We took the kids to Fallon Friday evening. (That’s good! No that’s bad!) […]
Don’t agonize, organize
Remember my word for 2009? My goal this week is to CREATE a more organized home. There is a whole list of HUGE projects that have needed attention for some time. I decided this was the week to tackle the majority of them. Yesterday the girls and I used the divide and conquer method to […]
I ♥ Faces Kids: Week 5 Silly
After a half hour of trying to get a good picture of the kids during the last light of the day the baby had had ENOUGH! So I told the girls to make a silly face and this is what I got. This is pretty much how our life is around here anyway. See more […]
Well, in out country….
“. . . said Alice, still panting a little, “you’d generally get to somewhereelse — if you ran very fast for a long time, as we’ve been doing.” “A slow sortof country!” said the Queen. “Now, here, you see, it takes all the running youcan do, to keep in the same place. If you want […]
