Cute new Pads at A Little Monkey Business

Im back at the sewing machine again and have sewn up some lovely pads for my online shop, A Little Monkey Business. Im loving the new colour range for my rainbow pads. The flannel fabrics arrived a month ago and i was busting to get my scissors out and sew them up. The above photo shows the yummy colours. Enjoy.

Total Surrender, Total Dependance

Its hard to understand why we are moving when we have made so many friends and feel like we are needed here.

Ive have been questioning God, "why"? when it seems so ill-logical to be going.

I am learning to let go, God has it all worked out, do I trust him? Do i truly believe he is working everything out for my good? Yes, I do. Then trust his leading, total dependance, total trust. He knows whats best. I have surrendered my life to him, so i need to give him the reins.

Eating Numbers

It's never harmfull to be careful about what you eat. Eating Vegan is great but do we know what those numbers on food labels mean. For example you could be eating animal feathers or hair if you were eating bread that had the number 910 in the ingredients. If you want to be sure about some products you can always contact the company. I have put two links here to help others, that i found in my own search for safe processed foods. of course a good motto to apply in general would be "Dont eat Numbers" :)Naked Foods are always better.

Children are my hearts delight.

Just reflecting on my wonderful children. Girls and Boys are so different in the way they are made. Even from a young age they gravitate to gender specific toys. EJ loves toy cars and Dads power tools already and he is only 1. My girls love to dress up, pink, high heels, hats, gloves. I like having both genders. And appreciating their differences, Seeing their characters form and grow. Wondering who their life partner will be. Praying they make wise choices and decisions. Praying they make God their first. I love you all each individually. BJ my boy who has turned into a man, who is full of life, calm, easy going, fun to be around. DJ my sunshine girl, who has a heart of gold towards everyone, who loves unconditionally. AJ my fluffy girl, who shares my sense of style, and loves to play, have hugs and kisses. MJ the baby who restored my heart, brown eyes that make you melt. EJ my little man, making his mark and fighting for attention. JJ I cant wait to hold you again my precious boy.

I love you all, you have made me who i am today. I wouldnt change one thing except to give you more love. For i know more now that what i did yesterday. Love always

Vegan Soy Cream Recipe

1 cup soy milk
1 tsp vanilla essence
pinch celtic sea salt
2 Tab Maple syrup (or you could use honey if you are only dairy intolerant)
1 cup Rice Bran oil
1-2 teaspoons fresh Lemon juice.

Put first 4 ingredients into blender and blend on high for 30 sec.
Pour oil in slowly and blend on high until all oil is used.
Keep blender going and blend for a minute.
Turn blender down to low and fold in juice. Blend for 15 secs. This will thicken the cream. Refridgerate.

This would be delicious sandwiched between ginger cake.
