What to do with Peaches!

YUM!

It's the PEACH season, a season that I love. It's summer, and soon it will start to cool off. We can enjoy fruits of our labor from our gardens or since I didn't plant a yard this year, those of our friends who have enough to share!

This year, I got a ton of peaches from a neighbor who had so many on her tree she didn't know what to do with them. We tried to help as best we could!

This is how my family enjoyed those delicious peaches.

1. Left some to eat just as they were.

2. Made tons of freezer jam! It was my first ever attempt and I think I was successful (in my book). I used a recipe from Confections of a Foodie Bride.

It's easy to see from this beautiful picture why I chose her recipe!

3. I made Paula Deen's Peach Cobbler!

I really should have peeled, sliced and frozen some of them too for our green smoothies! In all the baking, I forgot about that one!

Enjoy peach season!

My first test was a true one...Costco. I admit that I didn't really look at the directions when I put the carrier on in the parking lot. But I didn't need to! After one look at a picture in the user manual, I strapped my 20 pound boy in, placed my little girl in the shopping cart, and started on my way through the aisles of Costco. I immediately noticed that the carrier more evenly distributed my son's weight than my normal carrier and held my boy high so my legs weren't bumping into his. This made it significantly easier to tote him around the store. Indeed my normal trips to Costco are exhausting. But
