I Scream For Ice Cream

Thank goodness for long weekends. Sort of.
I always try to be extra productive on the weekends. Especially if they're long. But this time I was not nearly as productive as I had hoped to be.
My husband went on his annual fishing trip with his dad so I spent the weekend with just my girls. It was fun but man, oh man, did I miss my husband. Specifically I missed having an extra pair of hands to help me out with the girls. Whew!

So my uncle was the one who gave me the idea for this. Sort of. His idea was pretty vague.
It involved rolled oats and chocolate chips and that was about it. I'm not totally sure what he was hoping for. I hope that what I came up with is good enough. ;)

I absolutely love my mum's chocolate chip cookie recipe and I will choose it over an other every time. So I decided to use her recipe for this dessert/treat.
You've probably seen those brownie cups people make what seems like all the time right?
I've seen a ton of different versions but I never wanted to try making them because, well, I almost never eat ice cream. Or brownies.

Mother Knows Best

Tomorrow is Mother's Day! And it's a super special day!

Quick side note here: I didn't actually ever expect to experience Mother's Day as a mother just a few short years ago. Call me crazy but I had no plans whatsoever to have children. Unless they were the furry kind.
Fast forward a bit and I met my husband. Fast forward some more and we got married and had our first daughter. Fast forward even more and we now have our second daughter.
It is truly amazing how God can change your mind and your plans in such a short amount of time.
Looking back, I would change nothing about my life. I am truly blessed.
