No money made for mom’s jar today :)

But I did make something else… Lots of strawberry freezer jam.

I buy a few flats of the most delicious strawberries, every June, from an Oregon farmer who brings a truck load of them to a group of us women in the Tri Cities each year. I picked up my flats from him this morning and got to work.

This should be enough to last until next June :)

After the jam was done Alaina and I made chocolate chip cookies. It was lots of fun to spend some time in the kitchen today helping her follow a recipe, mix ingredients, and bake the cookies pretty much on her own. They turned out great Alaina!
