Ice Cream Treats and Too Much Summer Fun!

I'm feeling a little outta the blog loop these days. The sun has finally made its grand appearance {yay!}, and the girls want to live outside, leaving me very little time on the computer {I even forgot EM:ME today, sheesh!} And I'm okay with that. If there is one thing I've learned in my last {almost} seven years as a mom, it's that time goes by much too quickly. I want to take advantage of every second I have with the girls. One day they will be all grown up. Okay, moving on, before the tears start.

Anyway, we've been busy! BBQs, shopping trips, runnin' around outside, and our new favorite warm summer day activity . . . ice cream making! I'm sure you've all heard of this super easy {and fast} way to make your own frozen tasty treat, but I'll share it with you anyway. It is a fun, easy, and most importantly, kid-friendly recipe, and a great reminder to get in there and create with your kids.

Ice Cream in a Bag

You'll Need: 1 Tbsp. Sugar, 1/2 Cup Milk, 1/4 tsp. Vanilla, 6 Tbsps. Rock Salt,

1 Pint Size Storage Bag, 1 Gallon Size Storage Bag, Ice Cubes

Fill the Gallon Size Bag half full of ice and add the rock salt. Seal the bag. Pour milk, vanilla, and sugar into the small bag and seal it. Place the small bag inside the large bag and seal carefully. Start shakin'! Shake that bag all around for about five minutes, or until your ice cream sets up! Voila! Tasty summer treat! Try different flavors by adding a little chocolate or some strawberries . . . yum!

Start by shakin' that bag!

Kenners tired of that rather quickly

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ICE CREAM
