Wild Roses~

On Sunday my Little brother Jack and I went on a very enjoyable bike ride on our country dirt road. On the way I smelled a wonderful smell near our creek. I looked and it was a HUGE bush of Wild Roses! Jack and I picked a bunch, and now they sit on my school desk. My room smells like sweet roses. I LOVE it! Here is a picture of wild roses of the Internet. Have a Blessed day! Kari~*~

Pesto~

Hello! I was just going to write another short receipe for you all that I just made for Erv. Shabbat! It's Pesto Sause~ Ingredients: 2 Cups of Fresh Basil 4 Cloves of Garlic 1 Cup of Walnuts 1 Cup of oil Salt and Pepper to taste Put the first 3 ingredients in a food proseser and chop it all up( I added some oil to this so I did not mess up the processor). Then add the oil to the rest of the mixture and mix again. Add the salt and pepper to taste. Top this with some cheese for a great meal! You can put this on top of noodles or some bread.... It is really delicious! Enjoy! Kari~*~

Making Shampoo~

Hello! I am going to put a recipe on now for homemade shampoo, I just made this recipe today for the first time and it was really easy!
So here you go!

Homemade Shampoo~

Ingredients:

~ 1 Handful of Chamomile flowers, or Lavender, or Rose petals
~ 1 1/4 cups of Boiling water
~ 3 tablespoons of soap flakes ( shredded soap)
~ 1 tablespoon of Glycerin
~ 5 Drops of any essential oils you want to mix

1: Place the flowers in a bowel, and add the boiling water to it and mix. Then let It stand for 15 minutes, then strain the flowers into another bowel. You will not need the flowers any more.

2: In another bowel combine the soap flakes and hot mixture, stir. Let it stand again till the soap softens. Then add the glycerin and essential oil. Pour the mixture into a bottle and lable. Keep in a cool dark place.

When using this only use a tablespoon at a time, that is all you need! Have fun making it!

~ Fellowship with people
~ Read the Torah
~ Played
~ Watched the little ones
~ Had a nice Lunch


And a lot more!

Busy Days

With the unleavened bread days ending tomorrow, I will hopefully be able to write more often. My Family and I have been going to our friends house that is 10 minutes away a lot this week to fellow ship with our friends. One day we just had fun playing games like basketball and jump rope. The other time we went was the day to read the Torah, Sing, Dance, and rest. Tomorrow there is a gathering at the park in town ( 30 minutes away) and there should be a LOT of people, I think about 16 families! It's going to be so fun!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The weather has been a little over cast and rainy. How is the weather there? Hopefully yours is a little nicer.

Well, it is 9:30 here and I need to get to bed!

Have a great evening and Shabbat Rest,

Passover

Yesterday was Passover. My family and I got up and started working right away. We set the table, swept, checked for leaven, cooked, butchered the goat, aranged veggie and fruit platters, and MUCH more!

We had 6 families at our Passover Seder. And alltogether there was 26 people! My Mom let us snack wile we were doing the Seder and by the time we were going to eat the goat meat, 3 different salads, and potatoes I was too full to eat more than a piece of meat and a sweet potato! The frig is so packed! Everyone stayed over , so we have been eating all the leftovers, and there is still a ton of food! We still have people here so I need to go!
