Ice Cream in One Minute.

Okay, so you still do have to make the ice cream base but this looks so fun!!
It’s called a Chef’n Sweet Spot Ice Cream Maker—you move the creamy base around like you’re scrambling eggs, only your work surface is frosty.

P.S. How to make your own Magic Shell topping, Mint Chip Frozen Greek Yogurt, and Frozen Chocolate-dipped Bananas.

Happy Father’s Day!

The other day, Hudson came running through the restaurant to me, biggest grin across his face: “I go poo-poo in the potty, mommy!” Aron, smiling behind, would tell me later how, in the cramped stall, he juggled Hudson’s to-go cup of milk in one hand while he held Hudson across his lap with the other to wipe his bottom. Suddenly, he said, he heard slurping and realized that while he was wiping, Hudson (still across Aron’s lap with his pants down) had found the straw with his mouth and had started drinking the milk.

That about sums it up, I thought.

Aron, you’re the best! Happy Father’s Day! xoxo

P.S. This reminded me of a book of lists

Milestones (and Friday links)

I posted a couple on Instagram, but here’s another photo from last week: Little miss Skyler is already four months old!

And though she can’t say so, I know she’s as in love with her daddy as we all are. Hopefully we can all treat him to a happy father’s day, this weekend!

Also, Hudson had his last day of his first year of preschool yesterday! He’s grown up so much since that first day, almost a year ago, when I found myself blubbering through a goodbye to a teacher (she hugged me while he gleefully ran for the trikes). It’s really incredible.

What are your plans for the weekend? We’re playing catch-up after being away for a week in the Pacific Northwest. I’m blogging about our #GreatCoastRoadTrip on the Coast Hotel blog, but you may have caught some of that on Instagram as well.

In the meantime, here are a few other items of note…
