After years of wanting to learn to can food, my favorite girl Becky made it happen for me.

With a total of five kids to wrangle among the boiling, peeling, filling and processing, it took us all day to bust out a bushel of peaches. On the way home I called my husband and he asked how I liked canning.

“Oh, I like it a lot. All those simple tasks to do...it let’s me get a little OCD.”

He laughed. Because he knows me. Those laughs are the best.

It was a short week, so I have a short list of wonderful from the web...

See my statement above about liking tasks? This post about balancing tasks and people from Simple Mom made a huge lightbulb appear over my head

Speaking of peaches...and Becky, check out this dessert recipe. MMMMmmmm. She was going to let me try some but then she was all, “oh never mind, you’re on a diet”. Whatevs, Becky, I’m onto your game.

This healthy breakfast from This Lunch Rox is going to the top of my list...at least once the weather cools down.

Every once in awhile someone sums up a motherhood milestone so well, it makes me altogether proud and teary. Here’s one of those posts from Erin of Swonderland.

Just because school has started, doesn’t mean you can’t still get your BTS craft on. Check out Marie’s “Back to School” board on Pinterest.

Have a wonderful weekend! I’m catching up on work...what are you doin?
