    Amen. I grew up doing all this homestead stuff and my husband and I start doing it ourselves 14 years ago. I’m not stopping but I’m over it too! We had a baby in august and honestly he’s one of my higher needs babies and I just need a break. I know it’s not the end of my passion, I have six kids and they’ve all been born between may and September and those transitions can be tough. 2 were seemless, but 4 were more energy consuming. I get it though. I’m happy to see the frost arrive this week. I dried off one of my milk cows early and got a second foster calf for my other so we can wean her spring calf but continue with the flexibility of calf sharing. Last summer I killed it with cheese making and using every bit of dairy that came in. This year I’m only making butter and yogurt and the pigs are drinking all the rest. There just aren’t enough hours in the day and I had to let go of the guilt of all I “wasted” from the garden and the dairy cows. I’ve got a steer that’s past ready to butcher too but he’s just got to wait because I don’t have energy or the two weeks of time it will take to process and get him in the freezer….likewise there are turkeys and rabbits in the barnyard waiting until I have time to process them too….but right now the people of the homestead must come first!

      May I just peek my head around the corner, having not been invited, and say mama you’re ok to do only what you can accomplish. Nothing else is wasted or whatever. You’re doing a fabulous job sustaining little humans lives. ❤

      I learned this year, through lot's of prayer and time with the Lord, that the feeling of wasting things is truly from the enemy. The Lord tells us He will provide, and we must rely on Him for that. I stopped worrying so much about it and my life and spirit are so much more free. I know He will provide.

    Even though Our 4 Children are older,2 actually are in their early twenties and don’t live at home anymore. The other 2 are teenagers,they help some. They work at a Montessori Preschool half the day. My Husband works two jobs,since we are trying to pay off our house and be debt free!
    I have had a hard time keeping up with the Gardens, the chickens,bunnies and dogs. The Cooking,Preserving from the Harvest, House Keeping,Laundry 🧺and more! I have prayed about what to cut lose! Won’t go into the details of Personality. Just a little venting.
    Here Southern Oregon, we have long growing season as well. Usually from the beginning off April until the beginning of November.
    We got a lot of Tomatoes this year, mostly Cherry/Grape Tomatoes. A Fair Amount of Romas. We make quite a bit of Salsa. We all really like homemade Tomato Soup! I have found I can do a similar base for Tomato Soup and Pasta Sauce. Put it in Jars. Then when it I go to use it for meals, I can add to it.
    I do make some Tomato Pie with the Romas. Also some Toasted Cheese Bread with the small tomatoes.
    Also make Fried Green Tomatoes.
    Because of so much Tomatoes this year, I had a hard time keeping up with the Zucchini’s and Cucumbers as far as Preserving.
    We still have Pumpkins and Butternut Squash to Harvest!

    I'm very excited for my garden to go to sleep for the winter. I understand what you're saying. Harvest time arriving when homeschool begins is stressful to me. Our garden did very well, which is a blessing, but also overwhelming. I over planted expecting most to not do well as usual, but it all grew, and kept going up until the frost!

Love their spaghetti sauce, salsa salad dressing( I've tried green goddess and currently using ranch and omg so good.) I've bought ketchup and BBQ sauce too. And other odds and ends. Very happy with the service too. How amazing to have it delivered to my door! Just unpack and put away! Never thought I would do something like this but so very happy I did. Thanks Stef!!

    Can you make tomato sauce and freeze it? I don't do canning, don't have the equipment or space and it's just me, but I like "Fresh & convenience". If I can freeze, it should be in glass jars and how long will it last?

    • @angelaserna4045

      You can make Tomato Sauce and Freeze it! It is not a good idea to freeze in Jars. Jars can crack in the freezer or when thawing out. Freezer bags are best. I also make homemade Tomato Soup. The base for Tomato Sauce and Tomato Soup is similar and easy!😁🥰😇
