Rhett and Ryder’s preschool had the sweetest Mom’s Day occasion yesterday morning. Mothers, aunts, grandmothers and caregivers have been invited into their school rooms for muffins and an cute Mom’s Day exercise/track.

Ice cream lovers, I’ve a strong advice for a new-to-me model of ice cream so as to add to your must-try checklist. I’ve at all times stated there’s a purpose the highest semi-fancy ice cream firms (Ben & Jerry’s and Haagen-Dazs) stay on the prime. They make severely good ice cream that’s wealthy and creamy, by no means icy, has good mouth-feel (sounds bizarre however iykyk) and spot-on flavors. Effectively, Van Leeuwen ice cream is LEGIT and deserves a spot up there with the large guys. I’m making my manner by a bunch of their flavors and have but to be disillusioned. I discovered through Instagram DMs that they make some crazyyy flavors however I haven’t seen these at our native grocery shops but so my Van Leeuwen publicity has been restricted to the next flavors: Pistachio, Earl Grey Tea (this one shocked me by being unbelievably good), Marionberry Cheesecake and Honeycomb (which is extra like a caramel) and Praline Butter Cake. I wholeheartedly advocate each single a kind of flavors and can’t wait to strive extra. Van Leeuwen, you may have a brand new tremendous fan! (For native buddies, I’ve discovered their ice cream at Publix, Recent Market and Harris Teeter.)

Additionally, for any lengthy torso buddies on the market, it is a cropped prime that simply extends previous my stomach button!
