My New Baby!

So those of you who don't know, I have a new baby. Yep that's right but this baby will be different in a lot of ways, it won't keep me up at night, it won't be cranky or fussy, and will probably help my family a ton! I can't wait to see it grow. Andrew and I have wanted this for a while. So what am I talking about, well first of all for those of you in my family (specifically KEN) who jump to conclusions, I am actually talking about a canning co-op. Yes that's right, the new baby I am talking about is my canning co-op group I am organizing with my friend . We think it is great. We have at least 12 women who are going to be in the group. This is how it works...... Once every 6 months me and my partner will go to a wholesale fresh produce place and buy fruit/veggies, then take it all home and can or preserve all of the produce. Then the other ladies will come take their now canned produce home for their food storage. In the months that produce is either not a good price or not in season, we will seal in mylar bags flour, sugar, beans and etc. I am very excited to see my food storage grow and only have to do the actual canning twice a year. So suprise I have a new baby!
