The First Time I Made Jam

We’re never too old to try something new! This week it was making my first ever jar of this delicious sugar-free strawberry jam.

... the finished results from our casts! Inspired by Phyllida Barlow RA, specifically her Cul de Sac exhibition. We even met the artist herself viewing her installations with her grandchildren & she was kind enough to let the kids ask her their questions #bonus #creativity #thingstodowithkids #motherandson #youngartists #fridayfunday

😱😷🙈Inventory of The 10yo’s blazer pockets (emptied this morning ‘cos he forgot to at half term & then couldn’t fit his homework diary in his pocket this morning!)... ...So.Many.Wrappers? (pretty sure I’ve seen bins in the playground at his school!), collectable cards (mostly still inside the snack wrappers -which may explain the former), 2 bent paperclips, various cough sweet wrappers, 2 ballpoint pen springs, a broken pen barrel, a broken pencil ‘nib’, tissues (used obvs...😷), and one lonely, now rather crispy, sock! This excludes the stuff we HAD to put back in... ... a whole pile of cards (many but not all extracted from the snack wrappers!), a tin of Match Attacks, a complete, working pen, a homework diary, a pack of tissues, the last remaining throat sweet (just in case, though I’m fairly certain he hasn’t had a sore throat since the beginning of the week... 😬) and several Very.Important.Pieces.Of.Paper with various very important things written in them no doubt (that I might have binned personally but you know, autonomy etc😂😂😂) #mumlife #backtoschool #kids #being10 #tidyingup
