A Little Summer Treat

I came across this fun treat that you can make with your little ones the other day. They're called Ice Cream Pops! We actually made ours yesterday and they turned out fantastic! They were SO yummy! And, of course, very fun to make. Joc enjoyed doing all of the sprinkling.

What you need:

1. Ice cream, we used vanilla. But I was informed next time we have to use chocolate. :)
2. Chocolate syrup or Nutella. We used the syrup for ours.
3. Caramel sauce.
4. Crunched up toffee bits or hazelnuts. I found a bag of Hershey's/Toll House toffee and chocolate for baking that I used. It worked great.
5. Chopped up chocolate bits. We used Hershey's morsels.
6. Chopped almonds.
7. Paper cups.
8. Popsicle sticks.

Once you have all the ingredients that you want for your pops, alternate each dry ingredient with a layer or your ice cream of choice into the cups. Once filled to the top, stick in your popsicle stick and then place them on a tray in your freezer. Keep them in there for about two hours and they should be ready to enjoy!
And, of course, you don't have to follow my ingredients. Be creative and use your own set of tasty ingredients for your pops! I think next time we're doing a chocolate themed one with all chocolate ingredients! Chocolate ice cream, chocolate syrup, chocolate sprinkles, chocolate chips... ect. I can't wait!

Time Management for the Busy Mom

So, I just stumbled upon this blog for busy moms... it's really pretty cool. The blog sold me with it's advertisement for their "life wheel tool" and the "action sheets" that they have on their site! I'm such a sucker for planning sheets and the like, I love being organized in that manner of life. I try to plan out meals with a planner sheet weekly, I unfortunately lack in that one thing. (SERIOUSLY... It's horrible, I just can't seem to plan out my meals!!)
This blog has a lot of planning sheets on it for the organized mom, though!

The Life Wheel Tool that they have, they email to you once you join their mailing list. This is something that will help you manage your time better in ALL areas of your life. You print it and follow the instructions for it. It asks you questions regarding certain areas of your life and you give each a score at the end and then you get to start changing that area in your life for the better!! AND you have action sheets to help organize it!!! :)
