Canning

Anyone with experience in canning food have any suggestions on how to get started?  I'm pretty sure we're about to have a TON of ripe tomatoes soon so I want to make tomato sauce and can it for fall/winter but I have never canned anything on my own and haven't helped anyone since I was little.  I vaguely remember helping my grandmother put up snap beans.

I'd also love to make some blackberry jam since our backyard is full of them.

Any suggestions or advice would be much appreciated!!!

CSN Review - Combi Hero Highchair

I was so excited when I was contacted by CSN Stores to do a review!  There are so many fabulous products it was really hard to choose.  I finally settled on the Combi Hero Highchair in Wasabi and not only it is great, but it arrived in record time!  We originally just bought a simple wooden highchair without a tray and it worked for a while, but we needed to upgrade, and upgrade we did!


We have been using Combi Hero Highchair in Wasabi for about a week and this chair is fantastic.  It's a highchair and booster seat that has 5 height adjustments and 3 different reclining positions.  I love the fact that you can take the seat off and just strap it to a chair, that will come in super handy when we're traveling.  I LOVE the Wasabi pattern.  It even has a green apple snack tray that matches our green apple fabric in the kitchen perfectly.

 David really likes it...
(He REALLY likes throwing the snack tray when he's done with his food)


I honestly think it looks better in person than it does online and how often does that happen?  CSN Stores is my new "go to" website for, well, everything!  With over 200 stores to choose from you're bound to find what you're looking for!

Here are some of the features listed on the website:
  • Wasabi color
  • 2-in-1 high chair and booster seat combination
  • Removable top tray with compartments
  • Main tray with slide-out cup holder
  • Combi mug and Combi towel included
  • Towel hook on rear handle
  • Large adjustable footrest
  • Removable, washable seat cushion
  • Well padded seat cushion
  • Front swivel wheels
  • Rear anti-slip feet
  • Removable booster seat
  • 5-position height adjustment
  • 3-position reclining seat
  • 5-point harness with belly pad
  • Easy to fold self-standing frame
  • Oval tube design for sleek appearance
  • Color coordinating accent pieces
