Spring is a great time to get things started on the right foot, so that you can have a successful Summer season of lawn care!.

I can’t believe I waited so long to learn about canning!.Here’s how it all went down:.

The kit arrived just like this all together in a big happy box.. Really simple, straightforward instructions were included.They really made it seem easier than anything else I’ve read online.Look how happy those ladies are on the front!

It can’t be that hard if they’re laughing like that!.They also included a whole bunch of goodies for decorating the jars for gifting with my kit.

Bernardin will be selling jar decorating kits at Canadian Tire stores in Canada starting in the fall.

That’s how I managed to get my jars looking so cute, in case you were wondering.In time we hope to really clean it up and make it a really nice storage area, but that’s obviously a long way away.. Seemingly Random and Senseless Renovations of all Kinds.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve cursed the previous owners.Why did they do all these things to this nice old house?!

Well, I’ll tell you why.Because all of these things seemed like a good idea at the time and worked for the family here at the time.
