I am homeschooling Scrappy this year, and probably the next few years, because of his Cystic Fibrosis. We are on Week 3, although we don't have a super strict schedule right now since it is canning season. And canning we have been!!

Just this last week, we did 27 pints and 14 quarts of applesauce, 21 quarts of whole tomatoes, 4 quarts of tomato juice, and 55 pints of salsa. I still want to do another batch of applesauce, which I was hoping to do this weekend, but now I'm not so sure about. I have all next week too..
School starts on Tuesday for Beau. We decided it was better for Scrappy to start a little earlier than everyone else because he's going to get a couple weeks of for spring break, which Beau only gets a few days. But once our new little bundle of joy arrives, I'm going to need a little break from home school.
Yup, that's right! We're expecting!! We originally figured my due date to be March 27, but Dr White said I'm measuring a little bit small, putting my due date closer to April 10. I have an ultrasound coming up on Sept 24 and she thinks we'll have a better idea then on my due date. Unfortunately we've already found that my blood sugars are running high again, which means a bunch of finger pricking and changing eating habits. I guess it's not so bad, since I lost weight once I got on track last time, but it's a huge change away from the pasta-based meals that are so easy to go to and depend on. So my next series of recipe posts will be diabetic friendly ones.
My business has also launched. Mama's Gift Corner is all about homemade, hand made gifts. Since I've been canning, I haven't been doing as much work as I had before, but it's only for a few weeks. I want to get my inventory built up before the fall craft shows start so I can hopefully get into a few and start selling!!
Well, I need to get some breakfast. Have a great day!
