Me and the girls finally got to make strawberry jam! We canned it also and it turned out great. It was alot of mashing and the kids were shocked that 7 cups of sugar actually go in 9 jars of jam. It was a bit nerve racking for me because I have never canned anything and was sure I was going to blow up the kitchen ,but thanks to step by step instruction from Pioneer Woman (she has a great website of everything) it came out perfect. We are going to do pickles next before the kids start back to school. It is actually fun to do and Im looking forward to doing it again.
I have started this blog for all my family and friends and for my self to share all the crazy things that go on in my life.I have had many people tell me how lucky I am to stay at home and do nothing. I will say I am very blessed to stay home with my kids but I for sure do not stay at home and do nothing. Many days I wake up hoping for a normal day but most days are far from normal.

Glad to hear that you didn't blow up the kitchen, LOL. It looks like the girls had a lot of fun. Can't wait to hear how it turns out when you try pickles!
