What an amazing mother you are. If only all mothers in the world could be a 10th of a mother you are, how lucky all the kids would be.

I was thinking, while watching the crackers being made, about how patient of a mother she was. I wish I could go back to when my kids were babies, and be a more patient and present mom.

[@beginnerprepper4951]

Being professional just means you are paid. Being an expert means you learned through trial, errors, and experiences. Way to go Harrison!!!❤

[@sharons6290]

Looks so good. Such a great helper, and a great way to learn to cook. When my grandsons were younger, we would do a lot of cooking of different things, I had them write the recipe down in their own writing and then they drew pictures of what it was. They kept their notebooks here and when they became adults I gave them to them and they still have them. They would get out their cookbooks when visiting and ask if can make whatever they were in the mood. They would get started cooking from their books. They learn from start up to clean up. The memories and stories created were priceless, Plus they have grama's recipes

[@3goldilocksbear582]

I have 3 boys and a girl, all are adults now. I taught all of my children to cook. My philosophy - if you want to eat well, you need to cook well. My boys are all great cooks. My youngest and I share recipes often. The second youngest is the one who requests the old family recipes. My daughter…that’s another story. She hates to cook but can if she has to. That being said, her oldest son loves to bake! (I taught him too!)

I have made these twice now.. the first time I made two batches and today I’ve made three. The last batch is in the oven now. We LOVE them! I mix a pizza topping (that I bought in a local Amish store, coincidentally) in the batter, and then I sprinkle parmesan cheese on them after cutting them into squares before finishing their baking time. SO so good!

[@angelvalentin5376]

I love how this mother treats her son with so much love and allows him to help her even when the process takes longer. This child receives and learns to be loved and to be a great and loving human being as he grows up. Also a tremendous mother to be aware of what they eat and try to eliminate chemicals and preservatives from the diet. If we were all like this, the health of our families would be much better.

[@sandys.1891]

I am so grateful for your research. I bake/cook almost everything we eat. I've allowed hubby to continue to eat unhealthy snacks because he's reduced his consumption. Organic foods use safflower or other seed oils which are also extremely unhealthy. Seed oils increase inflammation and we are working to lower the inflammation in my body. The ability to have crackers again is wonderful. You are 100% correct in removing these commercial junk foods from your family's diet.

[@kylaford8338]

When I overheard that my brother was starting fractions the comming year I freaked. He was horrified at math. All summer I had him choose a recipe and double or halve it. He looked at the cup marks at the fractions. He got pretty fast at it. Of course it was doubling if it was a sweet. Lol. He understood the relationships between numbers after a couple weeks, it wasn't scary or anything. Then at school he was toward the top of math instead of last, when fractions started. It made school far more enjoyable that year. Later he cooked at restaurants, he said it was what he was already good at.

I love seeing you teaching your children skills that will help them in the future. My grand parents raised me so hey came from an older generation both born in the 1930s. My mom was big on teaching us skills. She always said “ I want to know if something happens to me my kids know how to take care of themselves.” So as soon as we were all enough to use the stove she taught us how to do the basics. As soon as we could reach the washer and dryer we had to wash and do our own laundry. If we were going to church camp or a rip anywhere we knew how to pack our own bags. She would go behind us and check to make sure we have enough of everything we needed. She said “If you’re old enough to go to over night camp for a week you are old enough to pack your bag. I did that with my oldest nieces as well because they were with us all the time when they were little. My nieces will say Hey do you remember when we did xyz. That is a great feeling to know i taught them something or helped them not be afraid to do something. Thank you for sharing your skills with us as well. I haven’t stared canning yet but im trying to research it that way im not as scared when i start doing it. My mom did it for a short time when i was younger but i was a that age where i didnt really care to learn and she wouldnt let us near the stove while she did that scared we would get burnt.
