My First Venture...

Strawberry jam!!!!! Woohoo!!!  I used to help my Grammy with it all the time and I loved the results!  I have not made it on my own at all so it was fun.  I miss having Grammy by my side and us almost eating more strawberries then using for the jam.  I'm hoping this batch sets right and tastes just as good.

I have decided that I am going to try to do more of this and other such homemaker things.  I have found that I have a passion for cooking and that I want to learn all sorts of new tricks.  Granted in the last few years my husband has been doing most of the cooking but now that I'm a SAHM I am going to try to take over.  I want to try something new with what we eat.  I have several cook books, I need to use them.

I think I have decided that I'm going to try to post the new recipe I have tried and my review of the results!  I don't want this to necessarily be a food blog but I can at least have one section like that.

My other project I am going to start is that I want to start a new crocheting project.  I picked it up not to long ago and made a bag and just haven't done anything else.  I need to get back into it.  I am not sure at this point what I'm going to make but I'm sure I have something on my Pinterest board that will be interesting.

I don't want to over reach myself but I'm also going to add on trying to finish one book I'm interested in at least a month.  I can't seem to read very far into a book each night so I think one book in one month is reasonable.

So, between raising my two beautiful girls, cooking, cleaning, crocheting and reading I think I will stay plenty busy!  Plus this blog!  I have found this to be a great outlet.  Why keep a personal diary any more when I can share these thoughts with the world!

So enjoy!
