The signs of a true homemaker.

Okay I totally know I love to be crafty, I love to cook and I love being a Mom. But I did something I told myself I would never do. I made baby food. Yes I made baby food. We got 45 peaches for $10. What was I to do with 45 peaches. We still had can peaches left over from last year. Taryn is on a "I hate peaches month", so that left just Dan and I to eat them, so I took seven peaches, puree them and came out with 11 jars of baby food. SO if you break it down it comes out to cost me $0.12 a jar. That is a great saving. Oh lets talk about savings. I bought 4 boxes of cherrios for a total of $0.89. Thanks to Giant for doubling my coupons even though it said do not double coupon on the coupons.
Okay, in September we can get a large quantity of apples. Do I do it? I have made apple sauce before? hmmmmmm, good think I have a month to think about it.

I do like to sew, tomorrow I'm headed to the sewing machine to make a dress for Taryn out of a mens shirt. Wow I'm getting to resourceful. (not really I bought the shirts at the thrifty store for $7.) So if the dresses come out cute, I will take a picture and post them.

Hurray for homemade baby food! I say go for it on the apples. I'll split them with you if you want.

Wow, Sharon that's awesome! When do you find time to do all these activities? My boys keep me so busy that I barely have time to do laundry much less make clothes.
