Mommies that sew, mommies that can, mommies that do this and that. My question is....how do you find the time?!?! I can barely go to the bathroom without someone harassing me.
WOW! I'm impressed! i wanted to say hello. I'm not sure how I found your blog but I am enjoying it! I hope you don't mind my coming by from time to time.
Oh, so colorful! A shelf full of cans with pictures on their labels is not nearly as pretty as all those jars lined up with actual goodies in full view! Looks like a Job Well Done!
Seeing these reminded me of a book by Jude Devereaux THE MULBERRY TREE. The main woman of the story does bunches and batches of canning, alongside being a sleuth tracking down her husband's killers.
This Mary is doing apricot jam right now with strawberry- rhubarb, strawberry, and tart cherry with a touch of almond already on the shelf. Sure will taste good this winter!
I am Mary. 20 years ago I married my high school sweetheart. We have kids in college, high school, junior high, grade school, preschool, and diapers, 8 altogether. Half arrived via adoption. I homeschool. I kiss owies. I write. I eat chocolate. I garden. I cook. I take pictures obsessively. I am very busy and very, very blessed.
I write at my Owlhaven Wordpress blog, my Ethiopia adoption blog and at LargerFamilies.com

I am so impressed. With all the delicious cherries out right now, I am very tempted to get going and make some jam with them. Yumm....
You've been a busy lady! They look wonderful!
Okay, that makes me green w/ envy. I'm more jealous of people w/ great gardens than I am of ummmm anything. Those look beautiful!

I'm IMPRESSED! Canning/Jarring seems like something I'll never learn, but always wanted to!!! : )
Oh my word.
Man, all of these recent posts look like you have been one busy mama. The campsite is beautiful.
YOU GO GIRL!
It's nice to see that canning is NOT a dying art!
