“We can put them in a jar and save them.“

Memory Jars | Vera Brosgol

I think this is a great book to talk about saving memories. Growing up is difficult because at such a young age you can't always remember a lot from growing up so this fun story can help you with that.

In this story Freda the main character comes to a dilemma after blueberry picking with her grandma. She realizes that she can save things by memories. The author does a great job talking about how memories can be saved and this is a great book for upper elementary school students.

Strawberry Hibiscus jam I made on my day off ❤️ Inspired by the Simberry jam from The Stormlight Archives (this one is poison-free, I promise 👀) #thewayofkings #shallan #kabsal #brandonsanderson #oathbringer #wordsofradiance #rhythmofwar #strawberry #hibiscus #jam #canning #audiocanning

4 ⭐ Freda is blueberry picking with grandma. When they can no longer eat any more, they preserve the others in jars as jam for later. Freda gets the idea that she can preserve anything, and have it always and forever. But one day while eating her grandma‘s jam, she realizes that something is missing. That something is grandma, because if you put something up to remember it, you don‘t have a chance to make new memories with it.

New in the mail! I‘ve done little to no fun reading because I‘ve been obsessed with canning and getting some summer chores done. So far I‘ve done two types of jam and two pickles. Still waiting on results. I had a bean failure for my first pressure canning venture, but that is how we learn. 🥴 Definitely is an acquired skill.

Today‘s #Heyjune prompt made me think of this ‘friends‘ episode, and lovely memories of English summer days spent with my best friend, making jam and laughing at ‘friends‘ references!
This is my one and only jam making cookbook.. I love anything from River Cottage and the lovely Hugh...

I‘ve craved nothing but pickled asparagus (dipped in cream cheese 😍) and pickles for the last month! Two nights ago my husband told me that my obsessed was A. getting a little outta hand and B. getting real expensive. So this kid went out, bought canning spices and ingredients AND GOT A CANNING BOOK FROM HIS MAMA! This guy made me a whole batch of delicious home made pickles and pickled asparagus! 😩😩 so spoiled!

Alfoster Wowie! He‘s a keeper! I love pickled green beans but will try asparagus (and dipped in cream cheese)? Yes!😍👏👏👏 6y
GypsyKat That‘s dedication!!! 6y
HotMessJess @Alfoster I am blaming tiny taquito for this one. But it‘s so damn good! Try it! I‘ve got a bunch of my staff hooked! 6y

This was one of my son‘s favourite books as a preschooler. In fact he adored many of Pamela Allen‘s books. Such fond memories ☺️❤️📚.

P.S. He‘s 15 now and #currentlyreading Jasper Jones (for pleasure) and The Great Gatsby (for school). Both favourites of mine too. 🙌
