If you're planning a day trip to Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts, here's how I'd spend the day! This little village has beautiful river views, unique history, local shops, good food, and plenty to see without needing a packed itinerary. These are the places I'd recommend checking out for a relaxed, quintessential New England day in Shelburne Falls.

I started preserving food because I wanted to stretch our grocery budget, make the most of sales and seasonal produce, and keep more food on hand for our family. This is a collection of the tools I actually use as I learn and grow in home canning, freezing, and pantry preservation. Some are absolute necessities, while others simply make the process easier.

As a mom of two boys, I have zero time to think about myself most days! These little items here are my favorite items and really help keep me running. Having these either already in the house or on repeat really save my sanity, health, and make me feel a little more like myself. Remember mommas - we love our babies but if we don’t fill up our own cups we can’t be as present. 🫶 I hope this helps you find some peace, quiet and cozy during your day!
