I'm a VLOGGER now!

I know I haven't blogged anything in like FOREVER!! Buuuuuut i know VLOG which is way more fun and a lot easier for me to keep up with! :) I record my EVERYday life!! and i mean everyday!! from morning till we go to sleep!! I first wanted to do this for Shannon so he can see what we do everyday, he really feels like he misses out on things. But now when something funny happens he will be able to watch it instead of me trying to explain! They are so awesome to look back on, like family recordings! My mum was a bit worried because the videos are being uploaded to Youtube, she was afraid of stalkers. But no need to worry I'v really thought about it, I don't record around where i live, i show no street names, I just don't record anything personal! At the end of the night when the girls are asleep, i edit the whole day into 10-15min long. Then upload to my youtube channel! I've had some really supportive feedback from mothers who feel alone and feel like there the only ones going through motherly things! There NOT alone! I recored my Every day good and not so good! If your interested heres my youtube channel. www.youtube.com/user/arielcross20 and my facebook page is http://www.facebook.com/TheLifeOfAMinersWife?ref=hl. Goodbye to Blogging and hello to VLOGGING! Its the new thing!! :) xxx

Things you will need to start vlogging, I use the green canon power shot as pictured below.

I then edit using my Macbook Pro with the imovie 11 that any Mac comes with

I did not have these things before i started, Some savings had to happen to be able to do this! But we did it! and I LOVE it!! :))

"I help Mummy?"

Is what Nizhoni asks me when I'm doing anything! Making the bed, cooking, baking and packing Sisters toys away! She's such the good little helper! The other night when Koda went down to bed, I thought I would bake something short and easy! And Shortbread Cookies came to my head! Nizhoni LOVED helping me!

Putting the butter in....

Then the flour...

Then rub together until it forms into crumbs

For some weird reason she loves eating the flour!

Being silly hehe

Ready for the oven

Playing with leftover doe

Rolling

End result, I added sugar to some of them just to experiment

And for me because I had ingredients to make chocolate icing, I just went with Nutella, such a bad influence! :S

Crepe Making With Nizhoni

I LOVE baking and cooking and just experimenting with different food, flavors and textures! My favorite saying in the kitchen is "You wont know unless you try", oh and another one "Nothing will ever be prefect", I've notice when other people cook and its extremely deliciously perfect to me, I'ts the total opposite to them.To them it might be over cooked, under cooked, too soggy, too hard, to much this and too much that so on and so forth! But THAT makes its perfectly fine! You can only better your self and make it Better then what it was, and plus I'ts fun to do it again (well i find it fun). a couple of months ago. I decided to make my first ever Crepes with Caramelized apples. Surprisingly they turned out better then I thought! In my head they were already a complete disaster. I did make mistakes, I know where I went wrong and know how to fix them for next time I attempt to make them :) Pictures don't justice its was actually pretty nice, and the crepes where cooked "just right".

Left overs

Some nights during the week I like to cook big meals so there are left overs for the next day, Just so my Girls are having something different for lunch, since Shannon's not here I just cook mainly cook for the girls, and I just eat what there having. But tlast night I decided to cook a big Spaghetti Bol, So today I reheated it and had it on toast! For some reason it tasted better, or maybe I was that hungry I thought it tasted better?? Because everything taste better when your hungry! Nizhoni quiet enjoyed it too!

Don't mind the bed hair! lol

Outside / Inside Fun

I made it clear that when we were house hunting, we HAVE to have decent sized backyard so that our babies can get out the house and play! I just love how much they love going out side! :)

This little cheeky monkey below now has learnt to climb, thankfully she's only fallen off a couple of times then learnt that if she wants to get off she has to go feet first! Now shes sweet!

How cheeky!!

Nizhoni is the influence :)
