What would we do without moms?

This is always such a busy time of year for my Mom. She grows a wonderful garden, then does TONS of home canning! I remember always helping mom when we were younger during canning season. Since we have been married, Tobin and I have also done a garden. We have loved having fresh food and being able to do some canning too! I just want to say THANK YOU to my Mom who has helped me to learn so many valuable things. Our pantry and freezer are stocked full of yummy stuff. Here is what we have done this year....

Pepper Jelly
Jalapeños

Salsa

Spaghetti sauce

Pears

Peaches

Apple pie filling

Applesauce

Applebutter

We have also dried some pears (one of my favorite) and froze beans, carrots, corn, strawberry jam, raspberry jam and strawberries!! After all the hard work, I realize it is SO worth the time and effort. I know what we are eating is from your own garden and not all the processed crap! We will be so glad to have all of this food, especially when we have a little one to feed too.
THANKS MOM!! YOU ARE THE BEST!

    This is amazing! Do you guys have a house where you have a yard for a garden or do you go to your parent's house and share their garden? I hope KC and I can do this someday!
