The end of an era ...

Just when you think you have your life organised, things change.  That is what has happened to me this week our plans of moving in January have changed and we are now going in 2 and a half weeks. 

I am really struggling with this move I know it is the right thing, I know we have been called to help in this church but...... my heart feels different.  I really love the lifestyle here.  I am very comfortable, we attend a great Church, the kids go to a good school that is attached to the church, even the ballet school the girls attend is run by a christian, and I think that is the problem.  The last few years I have become very comfortable with life and where we are.

So here we go about to jump in boots and all out of our comfort zone.

Was a bit over whelmed this weekend so did lots of baking on Saturday.  In an attempt to get my mind off trying to work out what to do and how do we go about doing it.  Anyone who knows me well knows that when I have a lot on my plate I create something, crafting, painting or bake (not just everyday baking it has to be creative cooking).  Since the craft room is in the process of being packed up I baked.

I did add fine toffee drizzled all over but hubby put this in a container before I could take a photo.

Check out my Bek's family favourite recipes for the recipe, more to be added in the coming days.

I better get back to packing up the junk craft room.

I have started to get the house organised and to pack up a few items we are planning to go to Bowen in a few weeks to show the children where they will be living, check out schools and take a load of stuff up.

Packing up has made the move more real, still torn about going, today I took a break from packing and did some baking and craft.

I made choc self-saucing pudding, homemade ice-cream, meringues and Puff triangles.  You can view the recipes at Bek's family favourite recipes.  Lately I have been getting back into cooking from scratch.  I grew up on a hobby farm and we made most of our sauces, jams, jellies, ice-cream, yogurt, cheese and the list goes on ..... from scratch.  I have been quite alarmed at what additives are being put into foods, especially foods that only have 4 ingredients to make from scratch but the bought product  contains at least 10 ingredients such as ice-cream.
