sun ovens and birthdays...

It's been a long while since I last posted. I guess when life gets busy I forget to update this thing. 
So, we've been working on our food storage the last few months, it's been a fun project and for my 29th birthday I asked for a wheat grinder. My wonderful neighbour helped me make a base for it and we have been making yummy bread and 'monkey bars' with it (banana bread with choc chips in a slice form so that I can freeze them and send them in kids school lunches).
For Win's birthday he got food storage shelves for his 30th... a bit of an anti climax after his hopes of going to Vegas for the big event.
My next big plan for food storage is a sun oven... at $299 I am going to have to wait, but I have had my eye on one for several months now so maybe for Christmas...
My neighbour's sister in law has a really great blog / business that has helped to get organised, food storage wise. She has some great you tube videos about her own food storage set up, and I've based a lot of my set up on that. She even has a sun oven giveaway this month... so fingers crossed... I really really want one of those shiny beauties. here's the link for any one interested: http://dealstomeals.blogspot.com/2011/09/sun-oven-giveaway.html


School started up again, and the twins are finally in pre-school, much to Isabelle's delight and Chelsea's horror.
 Win and I joined a gym, Win has to get super buff for his firefighter interview process, and I just wanna have an hour away from the kids get fit.
We're running out there now, so I'll update more tonight.
