We are a family of ice cream connoisseurs.that's a nice way of saying that we are addicts. It is one of our favorite ways to beat this incredible heat wave that is passing over the US. While we enjoy an occasional trip to the ice cream shop, that can get expensive. I have no problem buying a carton of good ice cream at the grocery store, but Homemade Ice Cream in a Bag is a fun (and frugal) treat for the kids.

Have you seen the Live Butterfly Garden Hatching Kit advertised on TV? My kids have and my oldest daughter was super excited when she received one for her birthday last fall. The box contains the mesh 'garden' as seen on the box and a coupon to receive 5 caterpillars and food via mail. She waited anxiously all winter to be able to order the caterpillars for the garden.

What are your plans for July 4th? Are you hosting a gathering or taking a dish elsewhere? My parents and grandmother always host a big bash, so I'll be taking a dish. One thing is for sure, by 7 pm on July 4th, I'll be crying, "I'm stuffed. I can hardly move.". Here are some ideas for a yummy holiday: The Main Course. Red Pepper & Feta Turkey Burgers.

You will have to excuse my absence the past few weeks, this summer has gotten the best of me. Unfortunately my blog has been the victim of an over-planned summer. My husband and I just commented this week about how active we have been--VBS, Y-camp, play-dates, boating with the grandparents, weekend trips to visit extended family and friends, trips to the playground, picnics, swimming at the community pool, CSA farm days, a day trip to Central Park zoo, and a summer vacation to the beach.

Every year, I have a yard sale. It usually coincides with our neighborhood's big sale and I make out quite nicely with the profits. However, this year we were in Pittsburgh and I missed out on the event.and the cash. So instead, I hauled our stuff to the Salvation Army. I've been tackling clutter since January and I had the boxes stacked in my garage to prove it.
