With the arrival of summer here in North Carolina, comes ice cream. Lots and lots of ice cream! For my birthday a few weeks ago, my sweet boy took me on a “date” for ice cream. I drove and he paid. So sweet! And yes, that is a big ol’ waffle cone of vanilla in …
Over the years, we’ve acquired several books that focus on the Easter season and they have become our favorites!
