Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams...

Last December, my dear friends Jim & Jess bought me an ice cream maker for my birthday... It was something I'd long been hoping for and dreaming of... Since then, I've tried several different kinds of ice cream: Strawberry, Mayan Chocolate (my favourite), Peach, Blueberry and Cherry (Jay's favourite)... As of yet, I haven't tried anything really exotic... But I'd like to... Somewhere in the on-line world over the past few weeks, I happened upon the home of 'Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams'... Don't some of these flavours sound too good to be true?

You can say I have a bit of a soft spot for ice cream these days... And I plan on experimenting more and more... So I'm adding 'Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams At Home' to my wish list...

I LOVE lemonade... I drink it all year long... And in the dead of winter, I can taste summer! Yet I've never, ever made my own lemonade... How sad is that? So... Today is my beloved husband's birthday... And I adore him... In honour of his birthday, we're hosting a few friends... What better way to celebrate than some homemade lemonade... A great weekend project idea! (See the links below the picture for recipes)!

A 2nd Birthday Tea Party... {Food}

The decorations are nearly ready, the presents are bought and now for the food... Last year for Brennah's birthday party, I made a big meal... This year I decided to keep it more simple... Or at least I thought it would be simple... A Tea Party Menu...
