Choc Peppermint Fudge

On Sunday night I decided to try a new Christmassy fudge recipe. And well now I wish I didn't because it is just too good to stop at one tiny piece!

Seriously, you HAVE to make this. It would make a great gift too.

Recipe is from the Pioneer Women via the Food Network.

{Giveaway} Don't Let Mosquitoes Ruin Your Summer

A little while ago we ventured on a mini holiday to Exmouth to spend some time at the beach and for B to do some fishing. Living where we do now and coming from where we did we certainly miss the beach, water and all that it entails A LOT! So any chance we get to go to the beach we jump at.

But that trip also included a trip to the hospital due to two of the three kids having an allergic reaction to sand flies and mosquitoes. Even though they had insect repellent on the WHOLE time it just wasn't enough. So next time we head to Exmouth we will also be packing some Para'Kito packs. We have been using them around town this past week, and whilst there are only a few mozzies about, they haven't been bothering us whilst we have been wearing the Para'kito clips and wristbands.

The clips and wristbands give off a pleasant odour and is much less intrusive than smelly and often greasy insect repellents.

Para’Kito is a 100 percent natural eco-friendly mosquito protection device. As the number one seller in France, and much loved in 37 countries worldwide, Para’Kito™ is set to become a summer favourite here in Australia; an essential part of every suitcase, beach bag, hiking kit or tackle box. As a natural and safe alternative to other products on the market, Para’Kito™ is
ideal for adults, children, babies, pregnant women and allergy sufferers alike, as it has no direct contact with the skin, leaves no unpleasant odour and offers 24 hour protection from mosquitoes and insects.

A unique blend of seven essential oils including; lavender, geranium, citronella, pine tree, patchouli, clove and peppermint is infused into the heart of a polymer pellet, which slips easily into your Para’Kito™ wristband or clip.

These patented oils mask the presence of humans from mosquitos for 15 days effectively making the wearer invisible, even when coming in contact with water, eliminating the need for reapplying sticky chemical sprays. The Para’Kito™ clip is perfect for travel (it easily attaches to a backpack, belt, or can be hung inside a tent when sleeping) as well as for babies – just hang it from their pram or stroller, while the neoprene wristband offers comfort and style with a range of fun colours available.

The European quality product is both lightweight and completely waterproof, making it perfect for all Australian pastimes, whether you're camping in the Northern Territory, fishing off the coast of Western Australia, or simply enjoying a BBQ in Brisbane; with Para’Kito™ you'll never be left unprotected again!
