Monday: Weekly Family Activity—Ice Cream!

The giveaway is a couple of posts down.

Last year for Christmas my husband and I gave ourselves an ice cream maker for our big gift. Isn’t it beautiful?

Make up a new fun ice cream flavor as a family or make up a few! Whip up some homemade ice cream or just buy some plain vanilla. Have lots of different possible toppings and mix ins.

You know what sounds kinda good to me? A Hot Cocoa Icecream Flavor!

You can even submit your family’s idea to Ben and Jerrys!

Not the ice cream type? Make some yummy sorbet, it is surprisingly quite simple.
