Manic Monday

#1- I made you ice cream!!! It’ll be up later this week. We are having way way too much fun with our new ice cream maker. This particular ice cream has been made like 5 times so I know the recipe is just exactly perfect. I can’t wait to tell you all about it. Also… let’s talk about waffle bowls, shall we?

#2- I have been buried in email for weeks. I am so far behind that I have missed some amazing posts from some of my most favorite blogs and nothing stresses me out like a stack of papers or a full inbox. Eeeek!! So yesterday morning I finally decided to pull my feed reader together and get organized. Gahhhh. Organization & relief! Also— checking your email from bed on a Sunday morning is like the biggest time suck of all eternity. Chad made coffee (whaaat? I know. It was majorly crazy.) and I finally emerged somewhat victorious around 1:15 pm with a numb rear end and feeling like I missed the whole day. If you read lots of blogs and email is taking over your life I can tell you that for me, Bloglovin’ saved all the rest of my Sundays from now on.

#3- My favorite song with classroom instruments.  Loveeeeeee.

#4-  This is the best public service announcement ever. Andrew found it.

#5- Andrew and I spent at good thirty minutes laughing over a “Nailed It” Pinterest board on Saturday. I think our family gingerbread cookie party photos should definitely have a top spot there.

#6- Gidget. She is suuuuch a cutie, right? She is not crazy like Norma Jean, but she is super snuggly and she really likes to sleep. In other Sugar Dish Me kitty news, Norma’s girlish figure is down the drain and she is sort of waddling. Kitten food + gluttony are not really a great combo.

#7- You might have noticed that my posting schedule has gotten kind of crazy, but I’m still here 5 days a week. Okay actually it’s more like 7 because there’s really no such thing as time off from blogging, but still 5 new posts a week is what I mean. Oh!! And before I forget– my friend Carrie is giving away $400 in PayPal cash. Crazy, right? Anyway, if you wanna try and win the $$ then you can enter using the form below. If you DO win the $$ I just ask that you send me a cupcake.
