I'm originally from Washington state where I had hoped to return after college, but it wasn't meant to be (at least not yet). I came all the way to BYU in Utah to get my education and ended up finding Nathan, my husband, who is also from my hometown, and who I dated in high school. Why I had to come all this way beats me. I did finish my degree in Early childhood education in April 2000, however, we decided to start a family rather than have me teach. Kirsten was born in Feb. 2001, then Zachary in Nov. of 2002 and Caleb in Sept. 2006. Now my life is my family and my full time- lifetime job is wife and mother.
This last Wednesday night, my friend showed me how easy it is to make freezer jam. Strawberry is our favorite and were on sale so we tried it out. Kirsten was still up so we started washing bottles, washing berries and slicing them up. She was a big help. I learned that my friend made it look easy but when it's late at night and your tired everything seems harder. One lesson I learned was to make sure you mix in a bowl with a spout. Getting the jam in the jars was a messy job. Overall and enjoyable task with Kirsten. We'll see how it tastes! Our bounty was 7 pint jars of yummy strawberry jam! Thanks for you teaching Lona Marie and your help Kirsten!
