There is so much happening in my life right, I do know where it starts, ends or where exactly I am.

My son broke his leg, we have Ramazan next week (also known as Ramadan), theres the school drop offs/pick ups with a broken leg!

But I just wanted to let you know Im still here, I have fallen behind in my posts and will begin updating my blog soon.

Thank you for your get well emails and Jess your right his officially SPOILT.!

Hip has been ‘patiently’ waiting for her top tooth to fall out, it started wiggling about 3 months ago and only recently has her tooth moved.

Last week an hour after bedtime she came running in tears that her tooth ‘suddenly’ started bleeding….

As mums know best I realized there was more to her story and later found out she’s been punching and banging her mouth to make that damn tooth fall out lol.

The next day her wobbly tooth was black and bruised lol.

My silly daughter hasnt been eating anything hard, not because shes afraid it may hurt or her tooth will fall out but she wants us to take her to the dentist!!!!!!

Today we notice the new tooth has shot through and the wobbly tooth has parted quite abit from the gums – but obviously not enough….!!!!

Ive offered to tie a string to her tooth &  the door technique, but she ‘politely’ turned us down….lol

no, no nothing to get worried about – this has to be one of the most easiest recipes mum passed down to me. Growing up we always had homemade yoghurt, I think the first time I tried commercial yoghurt was probably when I was 16.

We use to add sugar, honey or jam to our yoghurt and have it for dessert – I even remember mum adding fresh breadcrumbs and feeding it to my then baby nephew.

Besides the money you when you make your own yoghurt is Homemade yogurt contains no artificial additives or preservatives, this recipe doesnt even need Easiyo!

Ingredients

• 3L full cream milk
• 4 tablespoons of yoghurt
• Large bowl & lit to store yoghurt
• 1-2 bed sheets – lol you’ll find out soon

Directions

Boil the milk til it becomes frothy and about to spill.

Place your empty large yoghurt bowl on top of the bed sheets. During colder weathers you will need 2 sheets.

Remove boiled milk from stove & pour into your large yoghurt bowl. I use my mums old Tupperware which is large enough & fits perfectly in the fridge.

Cool the boiled milk for about 15 minutes, then regularly check the temperature by dipping you pinky into the milk. When the milk is just bareable – so it’s not too hot or cold then it’s ready.

Before adding the cold yoghurt to the boiled milk, you will need to warm the yoghurt up by adding 4 – 8 spoons of the hot milk with the 3 tablespoons of yogurt and mixing it well in a separate bowl.

Slowly pour the the mixed milk/ yoghurt into the large hot milk. It’s best to pour it from the side, using the same side gap mix with a wooden spoon mix the bottom of the hot milk – but mix with care so you dont disrupt the frothy/ skin floating on top.

Close the lid, wrap the the yoghurt tightly with the sheets & leave over night to set.

Note: sometimes I forget about the cooling the milk, so I reheat the  milk in the microwave without using the same bowl.

Sometimes the yoghurt may not set  - don’t throw it out it means the yoghurt has turned into ricotta cheese (once you drain it).

I don’t add gelatin but if you want your yoghurt to have a thicker consistency you can use gelatin.

Our yoghurt usually lasts between up to 3 months – depending on how often we eat it and only costs us $3 using Homebrand milk.

Hip is in year one this year and is now into hand-stands, cartwheels & everything I cant do. Im one of those mean mums who teach their kids that mum always knows best, mum sees all & hears all – and most importantly there isnt anything mum cant do.

How was I suppose to know “mum can do anything” would mean one day mum would be asked to ‘prove’ she can do gymnastics.

Tonight was that night – Hip was trying her typical handstand moves and asked me to show her how to do a Handstand – I got away with it by saying “not now sweetheart, mums wrist hurts.

She then asked me to do a cartwheel, I answered “there isnt enough space in this room hunny”……phew got away with that one…..

Finally, just when I thought I was in the clear, she asked me to do a backward roll – I thought…yea ofcourse how hard could that be…so I lay on the ground and rolled….

She screamed “no mum thats rolling side ways, you have to lye on your back, bring your bum up and flip over backwards”….WTF ??? – I was stuck….so I finally confessed that I couldnt do a handstand, cartwheel or any gymnastic action, that I always envied the girls that could at school but I just couldnt do it – because I was fat, I had the fear that I would break a bone or something if I didnt land properly.

Hip tried to teach me to do a handstand and this time I didnt fear it but thought there was no way on earth my hands would be able to carry my butt in the air plus with gravity working against my boobs – it wouldnt be much of a pretty site…BUT I tried it anyhow….

your probably wondering if I did it?

………………….

nope – but I did manage to knock 2 perfume bottles sitting on the dresser and hit my ankles on the corner…..OUCH!!!
