After a small break for a few weeks (other than working on review items), we are back to school. I am always glad to have a break but then I am always glad to have the routine of school again. Although this time of year is hard, because I’m still trying to can and work outside quite a bit, but I wouldn’t trade this life. 🙂
I hope you will stop back by throughout the week to read the posts that are linked up.

Do you have a child who loves to play video games and who is ready to begin to read? Maybe you want to find an app to entertain your kids on your iPhone or iPad; members of the Homeschool Review Crew have been reviewing an iOS app that you will want to learn more about. Â This app, Phonics Museum by Veritas Press, is geared for children ages 3-7. Your child is soon transformed into an interactive museum where fun characters such as Miss Biddle and Percival teach them the rules of phonics.
It’s that time again, I hope that you will join me for this week’s All Around the Home and Homestead blog party.
Thank you to those who are so faithful to link up! I really enjoy reading your posts!

I really cannot believe it is the middle of August, how did this happen?! I have started getting our lesson plans together so that we can start our new school year next week. We are still busy canning and freezing as much as possible.

Although our garden isn’t so great, we’ve been blessed to be busy canning lots of produce the past few weeks. We purchased 2 bushel of locally grown peaches and canned 27 quart. Of course, we had to eat lots of fresh peaches also. I’m hoping to put up another two bushel so that we might have enough peaches for the year.
We’ve also been busy canning grape jelly, green beans, salsa, and spaghetti sauce. It’s a lot of work but I sure do appreciate having a well stocked pantry all through the year.
I’m also thankful that many of the kids are able to help. Even the 4 and 6 year olds can cut up peach slices. Just give them a cutting board and a butter knife.
I plan to return Monday with the All Around the Home and Homestead Blog party.
Blessings,
Jennifer
