Making Homemade Tomato Sauce with the Girls



This summer, we had a LOT of homegrown tomatoes! Homegrown tomatoes actually taste like a fruit! Our tomatoes were very ripe! Since we had an abundance, overflowing like Milk and Honey, we decided to can some tomatoes! The whole process takes time! But it was well worth it and the girls have some understanding how to can something!

Today feels like fall!

It's October and we woke up freezing! Last week it was in the high 90's and today actually feels like fall! School is in full swing and I think we have a good routine going! Except, Hudson has not been sleeping through the night :0! He is a monster teether!!! This too, shall pass! I keep on reminding myself that! This business will only be for a time! The time will come when my kids won't want to do projects with me. Sleep with me. Cook with me. Read with me. As I ponder more on that.......I said, wait! If you have their hearts, they will always want to spend time with me! This is my passionate desire.....for them to glorify God! These are the days I will always remember!
