Homemade Ice Cream Recipes

by Karen Mendes | Dessert Recipes, Kid Stuff, Recipes | 1 Comment

My girls LOVE ice cream. Not sure I know a kid who doesn't. We definitely consume a lot of ice cream in the summertime and we love trying new flavors and combinations. This past Christmas, I received an ice cream maker and we've had SO MUCH fun trying different recipes. As I searched online for the recipes, I found a lot of ice cream can be made without an Ice Cream maker. So now I make it either with it or without it! Here are some of my favorite recipes I've found. Some we've tried, some are on our list to try. I hope you like them!

Buttonwood Farm Sunflowers for Wishes

by Karen Mendes | Local Deals/Happenings, Summer | 0 Comments

Last weekend a friend of mine posted some beautiful pictures of the Sunflowers at Buttonwood Farm in Griswold Connecticut on Facebook. I LOVE Sunflowers so the pictures immediately caught my attention. I looked up the farm and saw it was only 35 minutes from my house - I had to take the girls there, I knew they'd love it. They actually get pretty excited for a road trip, even if it's not very far. They love driving down back roads through places they've never been before so they were excited to go. We first stopped at Panera for breakfast to see my nephew that works there. And then we headed to Buttonwood Farms to see the Sunflowers. It's a super easy ride for those of you that are...

Amwell Makes Going to the Doctor Painless #momsloveamwell

by Karen Mendes | General | 0 Comments

I participated in the Amwell blog program as a member of One2One Network. I received compensation but all opinions are my own. Do you hate going to the doctor? I do. It's not so much that I hate the actual visit. I just hate having to drag my sick self out of bed, drive to the office, and then wait. With Amwell, I don't have to! With Amwell, all I have to do is fire up my mobile device or computer, and I can see a doctor. Yay! Amwell - No Insult to Injury I think Amwell is great. It's the largest company of its kind in the U.S., and its doctors are available 24 hours a day. That means that no matter when I'm feeling punky, I can quickly get in touch with a doctor without hacking and...

Celebrating Sleeping Beauty & Maleficent #Disney #VillainDescendants

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #Disney #VillainDescendants #CollectiveBias My girls are big into Disney Princesses. We've seen all the Princess movies, several times. We all have our favorite Princess, even my husband does! But why is it the Princesses always get the credit? Some of the villains have very important roles in the movies. I mean if it weren't for the villains, there wouldn't really be a story! My favorite Disney fairytale villain is Maleficent. She was a favorite of mine even before her movie came out. I think she's a misunderstood villain because all she really wanted was for someone to love...
