Aug. 25, 2008 - Making Your Home a Haven: Anti-Procrastination Day!

Posted in Homemaking


Crystal over at Biblical Womanhood is hosting Making Your Home a Haven Monday and has declared today Anti-Procrastination Day.

 

Procrastinating...hmmm....yes, I have been doing that.

I arrived home from our month long vacation last Tuesday evening. It is now Monday and I finally unpacked my suitcase! That was first on my list for Anti-Procrastination Day.

 

In my defense, I have packed a way a lot of other things (including helping the kids put their stuff away). I also put up 40 ears of corn: shucked it, blanched it, cut the kernels off the cob, and packed it for the freezer.

 

I have a similar job to do this afternoon in honor of Anti-procrastination Day. See these peaches:

They will be peeled and sliced for the freezer. We will also eat a few (but that is not included in the anti-procrastination part.)

 

Today is also our first day of school. So far we have done quite well. We read out Jesus being baptized by John, and practiced our memory verses after breakfast. I then started something new....working with my pre-schooler first. We talked about the letter A and he traced a couple. Then it was SugarBean’s turn.  She has read to me from an easy reader and then a chapter book. We also worked on math sums, practiced the doubles facts and read 512 Ants On Sullivan Street  (which we really liked). I’d like to get to History before the day is out.

 

Now, if I can just get the empty suitcases out to the garage I will really feel like a success

I enjoyed your post. :-)

I'd love to put up fruits and veggies, but where we live those things do not grow well.

God bless you.

how well do your peaches freeze? My preservation book doesn't recommend freezing them, so I didn't try it.

Last year they did fine. However, I will say that I used them up fairly quickly (a few months) so I'm not sure how they would turn out after long term freezing.

Also, I have only used them in smoothies (still frozen) and cobblers.

This year I froze more - hopefully I won't regret it!
