Like many parents, new media reporter Heather Green-Oliver is juggling working from home while caring for a young child: her five-year-old son, Tommy.
They have been chronicling their adventures over the past seven weeks on Facebook Live.
Parents and their young kids from around Greater Sudbury and beyond have been tuning in for the fun, the distraction and the ideas to stave off boredom that Tommy and his mommy has been sharing.
Today, Tommy and his mommy are making edible slime that is safe for little hands ... and mouths.
Using ingredients like instant pudding, marshmallows and Jell-O - they will be testing three different recipes to see which makes the best slime.
Try it out for yourselves as Tommy and his mommy take us through the steps in the video below.
You can watch them live on Sudbury.com's Facebook page each Monday and Thursday morning at 10 a.m.
