Rhett and Ryder’s preschool had the sweetest Mom’s Day occasion yesterday morning. Mothers, aunts, grandmothers and caregivers had been invited into their school rooms for muffins and an lovable Mom’s Day exercise/tune.

Ice cream lovers, I’ve a strong suggestion for a new-to-me model of ice cream so as to add to your must-try record. I’ve all the time mentioned there’s a motive the highest semi-fancy ice cream corporations (Ben & Jerry’s and Haagen-Dazs) stay on the high. They make critically good ice cream that’s wealthy and creamy, by no means icy, has good mouth-feel (sounds bizarre however iykyk) and spot-on flavors. Nicely, Van Leeuwen ice cream is LEGIT and deserves a spot up there with the massive guys. I’m making my means by a bunch of their flavors and have but to be disillusioned. I discovered by way of Instagram DMs that they make some crazyyy flavors however I haven’t seen these at our native grocery shops but so my Van Leeuwen publicity has been restricted to the next flavors: Pistachio, Earl Grey Tea (this one shocked me by being unbelievably good), Marionberry Cheesecake and Honeycomb (which is extra like a caramel) and Praline Butter Cake. I wholeheartedly suggest each single a kind of flavors and can’t wait to strive extra. Van Leeuwen, you have got a brand new tremendous fan! (For native pals, I’ve discovered their ice cream at Publix, Contemporary Market and Harris Teeter.)
