Fail

Summer days bring out that fun mom in me.  

The mom that says "hey kids, lets read this book and try to make our own plum jam with the plums that you picked from the farm. We can put it on our toast for breakfast."

Sounds fun right? Sounds like a fun mom right?

Well here is what happened.........I followed the instructions, started to get nauseated by the smell of nasty baking plums (the smell was horrific I tell ya), almost ruined my pot (spent 20 mins trying to get that nasty concoction out), had to throw away a jar, and had two very disappointed children.

Mommy Fail, Jam fail, failure all around.

The only person amused by this situation was my lovely husband

I may have invented plum candy =)
