First things first, you may have noticed that the scones in this picture look a little... well... pancake-like and flat... something went a bit wrong with the measuring of the buttermilk and the dough was super sticky! So we added lots of extra flour but probably should have added more baking powder too. But hey, that's how baking with kids goes sometimes! And they still tasted AMAZING. Who knows, maybe their amazingness was down to the extra buttermilk that kept them super soft and moist. The original recipe for these scones is one for cheese, chive and buttermilk scones from Sainsbury's magazine online (click here to see it)- I've just adapted it to use what we had in the cupboards. INGREDIENTS
*Substitutions:
Method Preheat the oven to 200c, fan 180c, gas 6 and pop in a large baking tray to heat up.
Enjoy your delicious scones! We have ours with a little butter while they're still warm. If you have enough left to save for another day, when you want to eat them, just pop them back in the oven for 5 minutes to refresh them beforehand.

This is one of those activities that some of you may well already do with the kids, but I thought it would be worth writing a quick post about it anyway in case you need a little inspiration for something to do when the weather is as crazy as it is right now! (Snow in April?! REALLY?!) Laundry day. The day of the week where I long to be a kid again, back when using the washing machine wasn't one of my concerns. It does have it's upsides though- I do heaps and heaps of washing which means I don't have to worry about it (mostly) for another whole week. This also means that a LOT of socks need pairing, and it's something the kids can help with that can actually be quite (dare I say it...) fun! Sophia hasn't got the hang of bundling the pairs up just yet, so I help with that part after she's found the two matching socks. Miles is good at bundling so does his own. He is also pretty competitive so it usually turns into a race to see who can make the most pairs. Of course he's always the winner but Sophia is usually pretty chuffed with her pile and isn't too fussed. With younger children you can talk about the different colours and patterns, maybe ask them to find a sock of a specific colour etc. Hopefully by the end of it you'll have a big heap of paired socks and the kids will have been entertained while unknowingly helping with the housework! Hoorah!
