After quite a few years of struggles and trials and a lot of unhappy moments, looking through it all there were always daily doses of happiness. You know those times when you can take a step back and look through different eyes and for a moment, all is well. All is perfectly well, and life is happy. Very happy. You are totally at peace and you feel that for that moment, you have the world. That is why I decided to create this blog; to take note of, document, bring attention to, and give thanks for each of my daily doses of happiness.

Strawberry Jam



Today we were all in the kitchen together making a mess as I was in the process of making bread and jam at the same time. Luckily I had some helpers. Adam was cutting the strawberries, and Daiken and Estee were taking turns mashing them up. I'd add some ingredients to the dough, and then head to the stove to make the pectin. After a few hours, and enjoying each others company we ended up with 6 loafs of bread, 1 chili bread braid, and 12 cartons of strawberry jam. Woohoo!!!

This was definitely one of those "step back and see through different eyes" kinds of moments. I saw the messy kitchen, the kids helping, Adam home, and all the love.
