37 pints of peaches cooling on my counter top, plus three pints of jam.
3 jars broke while being processed (all were wide mouth is this common?)
13 sticky kitchen towels waiting to be washed.
2 soggy sticky potholders waiting to be washed.
Dinners put into the slow cooker this morning - ZERO! (We ate mac and cheese, peaches and frozen yogurt for dinner, LOL!)
60 minutes downstairs without tripping over kids.
Number of naps the baby took today: 1 (really it was quite short for her too.)
95 minutes putting the baby to sleep tonight - shared with hubby.
27 peaches left on my counter to make more jam.
6 layers of peaches in the freezer
Oh, seemingly one hundred times yelling, "Please get along today!"
2 kids that will get alot more of Mommy tomorrow than they did today!
8 sticky feet, 1 sticky floor and one tired Mommy!

Wow, did you really do all that by yourself with 2 little kids?
You are amazing! I do my canning only with the help of my many big ones!

Yeah, it's hard to make an assembly line all by yourself!
But like I said the kids were pretty neglected!
Hi Heidi!!
Wow! Canning can sure be a lot of work and mess, can't it?! I must say that making fig jam last week was WAY easier than all the tomatoes and sauce I canned last month. And thankfully I had my mom to help me out (in her kitchen even!) when I canned peaches.
I hope you have a lovely day just focused on your kids again. :)
I would love to do some canning! Although, your post does make it clear how much work it is. :) I'm going to put that on my list for things to try next year. Along with my planning of a square foot garden next year too. Ha!
Amazing! You go girl.
Oh my goodness! But I bet it was all worth it with that yummy jam!
I had an applesauce jar break this year. What a sticky mess.
Great job. Those peaches are delicious!
