Thank you so much to Bernardin for sponsoring this post and for providing me with the kit to help me fulfill all my canning dreams!

I remember the exact moment when we realized there might be a loophole in “the system” and we might be able to actually get that big house on that big property that we wanted our kids to remember growing up in AND actually lower our cost-of-living.As soon as that idea hit, we were ON it!

close today, me and you.I don’t go around taking just anyone into this area where I do my blogging and my real work.
