The best thing I did this summer was spend good quality time with my lil one….he starts day care soon, so i wanted to make the most of my time with him. :) BTW love ur blog….I always want more….once a week posts just arent enough for me! LOL
So far I have traveled to Iowa for a wedding, New Hampshire to visit family, and out to the north fork of Long Island for a reunion -good times, and there’s still 6 weeks left!!
I went to an outdoor concert and enjoyed great music as well as the great weather!
We are stationed in Germany so we took our three little ones to Prague last weekend. It was great–amazing! But I think the kids would like the ice cream maker better. :)
I went to concert with my sister and two friends. Saw NKOTB, 98 Degrees and Boyz II Men. It felt like we were in high school again! Thanks for such a fun giveaway!
We have gone on several short family trips! So fun :)
We are still holding out for summer vacation getaway coming up in August – but it has been a fun summer so far with weddings, a slower pace of life and being together every day!
I have done a lot of fun things this summer, but one of those was getting a chance to learn how to DJ with old school equipment from my boyfriend. It was great learning a new skill.
Las Vegas with my friends
My BIL got married to a fabulous woman this past weekend. She’s Indian and the ceremony was beautiful. As part of the festivities this weekend, I attended my first Mendhi party and had henna drawn all over my hands. It was so much fun and I’m already hoping for another chance to do it again.
I went to a huge BBQ festival this summer. I loved sampling all kinds of BBQ and for dessert, having Deep Fried Oreos, a totally unrewarding but delicious treat.
We took a super fun road trip from Colorado to Montana and back. There’s some beautiful country along those roads.
I’ve been pretty much only working but I always make sure to take a couple days off for the occasional beach day! :)

My husband and I took our 3 kids on vacation to the north shore of Minnesota. Lots of work since they are 4 and 2 (twins), but so worth it to watch them have so much fun.

I picked sour cherries on my birthday in June, spent A LOT of time pitting them, and now they need to become cherry sorbet. Yum!!
Would love to make some homemade ice cream with my daughter this summer.
Lots of summer trips to visit family and friends. Almost every weekend!
All I’ve been doing this summer is work and hang out at the beach. I hate to get a tan but despite loading up on sunblock, I’m darker than I’d like to be but the beach is irresistible. I’ll also be going to camping in 2 weeks, can’t wait for that to happen.
This was a very special summer for me. Me and my boyfriend traveled to Barcelona and my boyfriend surprised me with an engagement ring!!! :D We are so happy, and already planning what appliances we need for our future kitchen. An ice cream maker would be awesome!
Getting frozen yogurt as dinner 5 out of 7 days a week!

Had a summer of fun!
Wouldn’t they love some
homemade ice cream to top it off!
This summer has been challenging……my husband is active duty Army and is preparing to deploy so I have made the most of the summer for my kids…..we have taught our 6 yr old how to swim, I’ve been testing new recipes so my huney will have sweet dreams while he is gone and our final project is building our own furniture as a family that ice cream maker would definitely round out our nights after working hard on building furniture.
My summer has been awesome. This past weekend my mom had her annual Ice Cream social. This would be perfect for her Ice Cream Social!!!
I have taken my little children to explore the sites around our home and the LA area.

I haven’t done too much fun stuff this summer because we just moved… its been endless packing then unpacking. Something fun I did do that wasn’t moving related was canoeing on a lake! The weather was perfect and the lake was very beautiful.
I hope I win, it’s my hubby’s birthday today and this would be such an awesome present for him! He loves ice cream!
This summer I found my “inner kid” again–I ran in my very first 5K–a Color Me Rad event. I bounced in a trampoline park. I played in the sprinklers with my kids. I slid down water slides. I walked outside barefoot–in the rain. I caught lightning bugs and put them in a mason jar. I ate sprinkle covered ice cream cones. I’ve found my inner “kid” again….and it’s been GREAT!!! :-)
I baked cake pops and gave them to my neighbours
I think the funniest think I did was going to the beach… not having much fun yet this summer!
Had my first paid cake order!!
I went horseback riding for the first time..very interesting.
We hosted a Gender reveal party, for my best friends. It was a pool party! When Teams were formed according to the guests guess, 6 of us were on team pink (including the mommy, who didn’t know the gender) and over 30 guests on team Blue…imagine everyone’s faces, when we saw the “its a girl” balloon coming out of the box!!!!
Me and my family – hubbs + 3 kids, aged 9, 5 & 1 – drove almost 2,000km’s round trip to New York City to watch a dear, dear friend get married. It was crazy – because I’m a terrible traveller – but once we were going, it was actually amazing. Loved the road trip, and I really loved watching my friend hitch her wagon to a wonderful man.
I danced and bathed in the rains that lashed my city to beat the humidity and heat :). Followed this with a sumptuous meal amid pitter patter of the raindrops.
We went back home to introduce my growing belly to my family … Because in christmas, we’ll have our first baby !

I worked and visited Venezia in Italy! Wonderful city!
Sat my behind at the beach for a week and read 5 books. Delightful:-)
I’ve been trying to relax at the beach – it’s hard to do with a toddler and an infant. But at least it’s been fun!

The funniest thing so far this summer was jumping from a 11 meters high cliff down in perfectly clear water in an old lime pit. A wonderful day with wonderful cousins!
Beach day with friends and yummy food!
For my granddaughter’s 5th birthday I night her the Bakerells Cake Pops Kit with the four different press molds. Before she came over I made the filling, and yesterday we pressed all of it into the different shapes. Today, after a sleepover, we dipped and she decorated almost all of them by herself. Being a child that marches to the best of her own drum, they look nothing like the suggested designs on the included laminated instructions but after 3 hours of watching her play You Tube Show while she’s dipping and decorating … Best day this summer!!! And since I can’t share a picture here, I’m going to try to share one on Bakerella’s page:)
