Homeschool Home Economics

One of the best parts of homeschooling is getting to do anything and everything we want. FREEDOM! An important part of our homeschooling is learning Home Economics. We go to the cannery almost every month (sometimes twice per month) to preserve and can food for our family's use and storage, and everyone but the two littlest help. Two weeks ago, Adam, Brandon, and I (Tina) went and canned jam for 6 hours. The boys weren't 'thrilled' about going as they have put in a lot of time over the years in the garden, in the kitchen, and in the cannery, but they ended up having a good time and provided some great entertainment for the mostly older crowd. Those two can make fun of, and fun for, any occasion. We ended up bringing home 99 jars of jam... strawberry, raspberry, and marionberry (blackberry). They make a beautiful addition to our food storage, and they taste like summer.
