Make It Monday 25th March 2024

Hello!

When I was a little girl, I thought being a mother and homemaker was the best job in the whole wide world, and I couldn't wait to grow up and get married so that could be my job.

I still think it’s the best job in the whole wide world, even though our children are now adults. I still get to be their mother, and Wayne's wife and create a home for them.

I get so much joy and pleasure out of canning corned beef for the pantry shelf or getting a load of washing out, dried, in, folded and put away. Filling the pantry with good ingredients to make tasty and healthy meals for my family makes me smile. Being able to pick apples of our trees, or rosemary from the garden not only saves us money, but makes my heart sing with joy.

When I sit down to write a Make It Monday post, and think about what has been accomplished during the week, I tend to forget about the things that are habit: making the bread, cutting flowers from the garden, canning meat and veggies for the pantry, sowing seeds, because they are habit,

I made another two tea cosies for the present box.

The Easter decorations came out and the house was decorated and readied for Easter and the rest of Autumn.

I covered candles for our Easter table.

​I repurposed some old jars to use as vases for our Easter table.

This last week the kitchen was busy every day. All our meals were cooked from scratch, using ingredients in the pantry and produce from our garden. I made pizza bases and focaccia and canned 6 quarts of canned beef for the pantry.
