{This Moment}

{This Moment} - A SouleMama Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. If you're inspired to do the same, leave a link to your 'moment' in the comments for all to find and see. Have a delightful weekend, friends!

  2. I'm so glad you were able to help save the berries. I hope the bushes weren't completely distroyed.

  6. I'm glad that all of this fruit didn't go to waste. Makes me wish I had a raspberry farm close to me, just to be able to go get a couple baskets full :)

  19. aw, what great helpers you have there! btw, i love your header, is that the view from your kitchen? love the light and detail. i've always wanted some countertop space beneath a window... so far it didn't happen..
    anyways, have a lovely weekend!

  20. Thanks for all your sweet comments everyone! The girls love helping in the kitchen and canning is no exception!

    And yes, our blog header is a picture from our kitchen! We have a shelf in the window that looks out from the sink. My mom has always had one in their kitchen and when we bought this house (almost eight years ago now) I was thrilled to see that there was the pefect windwo to put a shelf in! It's one of my favorite areas of our home! :)

  21. That looks like so much fun and how good it will taste when you open a jar :) I just got done putting up zucchini relish :P 15 quarts! Never expected that. Now I wish it had been raspberries!

  22. Quite honorable of you folks to save those raspberries! ;0 I'm sure that was a day full of moments to pause & savor... I bet they were all kinds of sticky in the end, though! :)

    Mine is just one of those moments where you sit back and watch the way your kids interact with each other and can't help but feel like you are doing something right as a mom...
