Another thing not mentioned: canning food can help you out so much later on if you find yourself sick for an extended period of time, such as during pregnancy or just during the winter when you have several kids passing around illness.
Weβve dealt with a combination of these two things in the past few months. Thankfully, Iβd spent the summer and early fall canning as much as I had time for. Itβll be even more helpful when I start using a pressure canner and have cooked meat on hand.

These skills used to be called home economics!
Skills to check off that will make your life easier as a SAHM in the future
β‘cooking (of course)
β‘Canning and/or pickling
β‘sewing (at least mending) basic things
β‘basic gardening
β‘knitting or crocheting basic things
These are just basic things that anyone can learn that can be useful. :) You don't have to be super in depth in them. Other skills can be improved on or learned later.

After a few months of intense morning sickness (that lasted all day, of course), Iβve finally gotten back to working on long term food storage. In December, I snagged ~7 lbs of cranberries for $1/lb but had to freeze them because I was too sick to do anything with them at the time. On Saturday, I started the process of thawing them, canning 8 quarts of cranberry juice, and then attempting to dry the remaining in the oven.
Rather than juicing, straining, etc. beforehand, I chose to do what is basically a raw pack with enough sugar to pull the juice out of the cranberries over the next 5 weeks or so. Iβll filter out the berries when we go to use it. Iβll update in a few weeks when we can taste test it! Instructions can be found here: https://practicalselfreliance.com/canning-cranberry-juice/
I donβt have a dehydrator so I dried the leftover cranberries in the oven at its lowest temp (170 F) forβ¦ I donβt even know how long. I checked every hour and flipped them, but I think I overdid it. Still tasty tho!

Reminder that this starts during pregnancy and when they birth their child, read the research with your wife and find out what you can do to help protect her and baby from medical violence. The state's effort's to have control of your child do not start when the child comes out, they start in utero.
