Me and My Family

My family and I are living in our own home in Australia. It is a little three bedroom house, but we love it and it has a large back yard and plenty of fruit trees, veggie patches, and flower beds.  Along with my husband and my three beautiful children, we have two dogs, and four cats, who are very much at home, and we have a secure church life, and family close by.

Rose Petal Jelly

Comment Published at 02:1202:1210 comments10 comments17 Visits17 VisitsReport

You won't believe it, but I just made some rose petal jelly, and it was so easy!!

All I did was take approx. one dozen roses worth of petals, and steeped them in four cups boiling water (like you do tea) till they were discoloured.

After squeezing as much moisture as I could out of the petals I put the water (which smelt heavenly) onto the stove, brought it to the boil and added four cups of sugar, stirring till the sugar dissolved.

Then I left it on a low boil till it reached the jelly stage (where you take a tablespoons worth, put it on a small plate and put it in the freezer for a tiny while, and when it comes out its thick and slimy), and they I chucked it into my ready jars!

Oh! The smell in my kitchen was almost worth paying money to experience!

Better still, my husband has forbidden me to give any more of it away as he wants it all to himself! Isn't he a love?

If you have an excess in roses that are past the pretty stage in their bloom, I strongly recommend to try this instead of just throwing them away! It is worth it for the smell alone, let alone the beautiful flavour of the spread!

Face transformation!

My husband was introduced to this site on his forum, in Lonaf, I found it immensely  fun!

The site is www.faceofthefuture.org.uk/

Here's what it came up with for me:

Our bathroom is out of order again!!

Comment Published at 21:0621:064 comments4 comments12 Visits12 VisitsReport

The smell of mold was getting stronger and stronger in our bathroom, and finally I complained to Michael, as my asthma was flairing every time I went in there!

Michael discovered that the grout was falling away left right and center, and some of the tiles were easily lifted off, so he has chipped them all away and left it to dry so he can fix it all properly, but it means the children have their wsh in the laundry tub, and Michael and I can only have sponge baths (as we don't fit!!)

Augh!!! I hate not being able to have a shower!!!

And its been sooooo hot!

I am a bit paranoid about mold, though, as my Mum caught pneumonia  because of mold spores, and I really, REALLY don't want to catch pneumonia!!!!!

On the plus side, however, I'm sure we're saving HEAPS on our water bill!

Leanring curb's!

Malachi is writing like a pro, and learning to sound out words, (though he doesn't have a lot of confidence yet, as there are so many different ways of saying each letter!).

Hadassah has no interest in letters or numbers, but she has better dress sense than any child her age I know.

Phebe can count to three, and she is saying all sorts of words now, AND gives the BEST bear hugs ever!!
