How to make an ice cream cake

If I’d known how easy it was to make your own ice cream cake, I might never have made anything else for birthdays! The simple three-step process for how to make an ice cream cake on the blog today. We had a birthday here last week! My baby (my eldest, but first born baby) turned […]
Teen Bathroom

I gave my daughter a limited budget and the parameter that she had to do most of the work herself and this is what she came up with for her teen bathroom. I think I told you before that the girls were in the midst of bedroom makeovers? If I forgot, then I’m telling you […]
