Heidi's Baking Fun Challenge - Lemon Cordial

Sorry I haven't posted sooner, but we have been very busy packing to move! Even though this week has been rather busy, I still had time to make something to enter into ‘Heidi’s Baking Fun Challenge’ which is ‘Smoothies and Cold Drinks’ this fortnight and I made Lemon Cordial!

It is very easy and quick to make.

All you need is:

1 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 cup of sugar

Put both ingredients into a small saucepan and stir over a medium heat on the stove until the sugar has dissolved.  Pour the syrup into a jug/bowl and leave to cool for about 5 minutes.  Then pour it into a glass bottle.  Cut a slice of lemon in half and pop it into the bottle of cordial.  Pour a little into a glass and top up with cold water and ice.

Enjoy!

Happy Wedding Anniversary Mom and Dad!

On the 8^th of January my mom and dad celebrated their 18^th wedding anniversary! We all went to Jubilee Creek and had a picnic. The littles played in the creek and Kelly and I found a deeper spot to swim in! It was soooo much fun!!!

Mommy and Daddy!

Beth at Jubilee Creek!

Rebekah just resting in the water!

Kelly and I were very busy before the day making presents for our mom and dad!

We both made them a card and I made a felt heart that said Mom and Dad 18 Years!

My card!

 I made a wire heart and threaded it with beads!

The felt heart

The mosaic wall-hanging!

The other day when my mom was trying to clear the kitchen table she accidently bumped my mug over and it broke, so Kelly and I decided to make a mosaic wall-hanging with the pieces of the mug for their anniversary. We used 3 different wooden heart sizes, organza ribbon, paper roses and beads. I hope you both had a lovely day mom and dad!
