Vanilla Malted Marshmallow Ice Cream

September 6, 2016

Creamy vanilla ice cream with marshmallow fluff.

Vanilla Malted Marshmallow Ice Cream //

I will admit it NOW…I have been in the biggest bad mood that I think I have ever been in. We were robbed of our summer by two weeks. Our school district moved back school to start earlier than last year and the year prior.  I want to scream every morning that the alarm clock has buzzed for the past three weeks.

So for now I will stop whining and crying and I will relive summer for the few moments we have left with this Vanilla Malted Marshmallow Ice Cream.

Yosemite in the summer.

Summer for our family was eventful and beautiful all at once. We visited Yosemite and Mammoth and enjoyed it in all its beauty. We lost my beloved dog Lulu and my Grandfather. It brought my little family close together as these losses were painful. We focused on fun, beach days, and s’mores at sunset.

Crystal Cove State Park Summer Sunset

It was a joy having my kids’ home. Life seems to be bit easier (in some ways) the older they get as we get to enjoy more of the great outdoors without worrying about racing home for nap time. So yes you can say I am a bit depressed about it. I know it will get easier, but for now I will add a scoop of this Vanilla Malted Marshmallow Ice Cream in a large glass and top with root beer or maybe adult root beer (wink).

Make this Labor Day Weekend and we guarantee it will make summer last a little bit LONGER….

I’m just dreamin’ of Hawaii over here… reminiscing of my trip to Maui {which seems like a distant memory at this point}! I came across this print {which you see above ^^^} and loved it! You should see the others! Anyway… after a long week {with my husby away at work for days and days on end}, I’m also dreaming of warm, laid-back summer days, eating alfresco,  family getaways, and gatherings with close friends and family! How about you? Any fun plans for the summer that you’re daydreaming about? 

This weekend for lovelies, we have a fun mix of pretty summer things! We hope that you’re as smitten with them, as we are! In case you missed this week’s posts… you can take a peek at them here and here! {xo}

merry christmas {image via simply happenstance} :: Weekend Lovelies ::

So this is it! Christmas is in just a few short days! By now… you are all most likely prepared for family gatherings and gift giving. In case you’re not… here are a few more ideas! There’s a couple recipes, some DIY gifts, and some style inspiration. To top it off, we found a fun stamp project to do with your kids over Winter Break!

Nicole and I have decided to take next week off from the blog so that we can truly focus on spending time with our families. We are hoping to soak up this special time by baking with our children, listening to Christmas music, enjoying our recent snowfall {in the mountains}, spending some cuddle time with our husbands, and catching up with friends and family. We just wanted to wish you all the Merriest Christmas! May it be joyous and bright… and let’s not forget the true meaning behind CHRISTmas! {xo} [Read more…]

Welcome Saturday! We are excited for this edition of weekend lovelies.  As always, we like to feature an eclectic mix of our favorite finds. With Thanksgiving this upcoming week, the holiday count down is on! The chilly weather that we have had this week made us start thinking of all things holiday including; the things in life that we are most thankful for.  Next week we plan to focus on some quality family time, as well as, feature some of our favorite last minute Thanksgiving recipes!  Sara and I hope that you have some wonderful upcoming plans for Thursday… or maybe you have a fun list to round up on Black Friday.  Whatever you have planned, we hope it is enjoyable!  We thank you so very much for stopping by and reading our little blog!  We wish you the most delightful week ahead!

Princess Machine // Goldieblox, Rube Goldberg, Beastie Boys

I love Good Morning America! One of my favorite segments on the show is their “Play of the Week.”  One of this weeks plays, was this lovely little video from Goldieblox.  They are a wonderful company that believes in engineering toys for girls in hopes of creating future inventors. This video features girls playing with more than dolls. They’re being scientist and inventors.  With the music of “Girls” by Beastie Boys, this is a fun treat!

Life is Beautiful // Tumblr

This is the first tumblr blog I’ve been on where I became completely mesmerized by the images, quotes, and songs playing in the background.  In fact… the site now has a pretty spot at the front of my bookmarks bar. I’ve been going back frequently when I feel the need for a mental pick-me-up. These are just a few of the photos compiled on her site over the last week… lifeisbeautiful-tumblr

  • 19 Core-Strengthening Exercises | POPSUGAR Fitness
  • For rapid leg weight loss, a combination of intense cardio and targeted leg exercises is key. High-impact activities like running, cycling, or jumping rope burn calories and reduce overall body fat. Adding exercises like squats, lunges, and leg lifts tones and strengthens the leg muscles, giving them a more defined, lean look. Pairing these exercises with a healthy, balanced diet will accelerate the process.  #RapidLegWeightLoss #SexyLegs #FitnessJourney #LegToning #FatBurning #StrongLegs #CardioForLegs #HealthyLifestyle #LegDayWorkout
