Popsicles 2 ways!

Hey coffee daters!

Was that weird?  Maybe. Anyway, since it is summer, I am always looking for ideas for simple "projects" for my kids to do. I use the term project loosely because these popsicles were so easy, it took little to no effort. But it did keep them off of their devices for a little bit.
My 3 crazy children!
I let my kids use a cola from Whole Foods and an orange flavored Fanta in the Ring Pop mold I told you about here. They (and I) love the smaller size of the popsicles. Less mess and they feel like they got a big treat!

Oops! Sorry it's blurry!

Next, we used the same sodas mixed with ice cream in larger molds to make ice cream float style popsicles. You can find some just like them here!
Funny face and photobomb! P.S. Pay no mind to the collection of what appears to be beer bottles behind my daughter. They are. My husband likes to home-brew beer. He reuses bottles. They drive me crazy sitting on the counter waiting for him to bottle his latest creation!



We filled them partially with ice cream, poured in the soda and gently stirred it to mix with a bamboo skewer.



Ready for the freezer!
 A few hours later...

Pure joy! And a posed picture.



I hope your kids like them as much as mine did!

Enjoy!

Happy Memorial Day!

Grab a cup of coffee and get comfy! Here is mine below! I felt like I needed my coffee to take the preparation for this project on! On Saturday, my family and I had over 3 other families for a pool party and cookout. Here are some of the things we did! My homemade cold brew iced coffee! On Friday, I ran errands collecting supplies for the party. I came across these cute paper platters at Target! They were great for holding the hamburgers, hot dogs and buns. I also picked up some bubbles for the little kids, some juice boxes and water bottles, and of course, some pool floats and noodles, it was a pool party after all! Is there anything Target doesn't have?! Here are a few of the decorations I put up just to make it a bit more festive. These would be great for a 4th of July or Labor Day party too!

Stranded! September 14: Movies

This month's Stranded Linkup hosted by Shay at Mix & Match Mama and Erika at A Little Bit of Everything is all about Movies!! I don't know about you, but this is a tough one! I love so many movies! I think these three I could watch over and over and over. I think that I have to go with my all-time favorite movie as a child for the first pick. 1st Pick Oh my gosh, you guys! I LOVED this movie SO much when I was little! Hayley Mills is my favorite! This version was the only one in existence when I was young, so I am biased and think this one is MUCH better than the Lindsay Lohan remake. 2nd Pick I mean, who doesn't love Will Ferrell and his crazy antics?! And in a holiday movie!?! We have watched this so many times during Christmastime and every other time of the year! My kids can quote many favorite lines! 3rd Pick I think this one needs to be a newer comedy that my husband and I have watched so many times. I LOVE Paul Rud...
