My entire life my mom canned fruit and vegetables, made AMAZING bread, cooked everything from scratch and the list goes on and on. It seemed only natural to me that when I grew up and had my own family that is what I would do. After all she made it look so easy! So years later we eat cereal every morning, buy our bread (but at least we buy wheat right?), eat canned fruit and vegetables (by someone from Kroger foods), and I make things from scratch...almost never! What happened to me?
Today however I am feeling like a superstar-I canned 30 quarts of peaches and made wheat bread from scratch. Yes to your question, all in one day. Now maybe I am bragging...but after that day I deserve to! My mom has these days all of the time and I don't think she would think they are anything to brag about, but I now give her full bragging rights. I never realized how tough it is to do all that she does. I even remember her cutting up our grapefruit for us so we would eat it. I still have hopes that one day I will be close to the homemaker that she was. Until then...be grateful for the peaches!

My mom is the exact same. I canned jelly for the first time this year. Why? I'm not quite sure. Good job with the peaches.
Emily that last post was from me. Apparently my sister Steph used my computer today while she was here and forgot to sign out. Sorry
That is awesome. My Mom, Grandma, Mikaela and I do peaches together every year and it is one of my favorite traditions. I love the memories and we all love cottage cheese and peaches! Our favorite treat
NICE! My mom and I just canned peaches too. The taste is just so much better when you can them yourself. It does give you a feeling of satisfaction though :) I am the same way.
Wow, what an amazing day! You've motivated me to try and do some canning... um maybe, someday... Yes, definitely someday.
