Summer 2014 Ice Cream Tour #5- Briqs

Image
By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!

I was excited for my trip back to Wisconsin to visit this ice cream place, BRIQS!   I was unaware how disappointed I would be when I walked up to the window to order the "Funky Monkey."   The sign read:


I may sound stupid saying this but I was about to have tears coming down my face.   I came 5 hours to get a funky monkey and now there is no Krunch coating for the tasty treat my tongue has been waiting for.   So the funky monkey is vanilla ice cream, peanut butter, banana, and last but not least krunch coat.  It was a very sad day! So I understand it was a manufactruing issue for the Krunch shortage so I actually went online and was looking to find my own Krunch to order and I to found it difficult.   I saw several items "currently out of stock!"   I did however find a recipe!   So keep checking back for my adventure in making my own crunch coating!  :)   

So I still ordered the Funky Monkey and did add sprinkles but it was not near as delicious with the original krunch! 


These two kids could care less about my disappointment.  When you are 6 and 3 you find the simple pleasure of mom taking you to get ice cream- so maybe I should focus on that!   My kids have been spoiled this summer with ice cream!  I am thankful I can afford to splurge treats on them and I have enjoyed all the different places we have been at.  

Overall, Briqs is a great outside ice cream shop.   When we lived in Wisconsin it would close after Christmas till February and opening day we would take  the youth kids on a walk to get ice cream.   Yes, it still was snowy and freezing outside and walking back in the freezing cold weather holding ice cream was not an easy task it was still fun and a thrill! 

Dear Briqs,
When you get the Krunch Coat in can you send me some?   I need to create my own Funky Monkey at home since there is no Briqs in Iowa!   I promise each summer when I visit Wisconsin to still pay you a visit!  :)

Another Krunch Kote lover here :) I once purchased a bunch from Briq's. You may want to ask them if they'll sell you some next time you are up!

Common Mistakes Made When Writing a Will

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
  Writing a will should, by all means, be a simple thing. You want to make sure that your assets are being left to your loved ones and that your final wishes are being fulfilled. Usually, they are rather straightforward, but that doesn’t mean that they are entirely foolproof. Here, we’re going to look at some common issues that can lead to disputes or delays in carrying out your will. Image - CC0 License Not Having It Witnessed Correctly One of the most common mistakes when writing a will is not having it witnessed correctly. Wills generally require the signatures of at least two witnesses who are not beneficiaries or spouses of beneficiaries. If the will is not witnessed in accordance with legal requirements, it may be declared invalid, meaning your estate would be distributed according to intestacy laws, which may not align with your wishes. It’s important to follow the witnessing procedures exactly as outlined in your jurisdiction to ensure the will is legally enforceable. Chan...

Win some Sweet Andy's Cookies

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
A big thank you to Andy who sent me some amazing cookies to try to conduct my review.  :)  All opinions expressed are 100 % mine and I was not paid for this review.   About Sweet Andy's Cookies: The “Thank You” Cookie In 2009, Andrew (Sweet Andy) found himself in a position like so many others at that time in our past; the economy was quickly spiraling downward and he had left his job in the financial services industry. Although Andy had an MBA in Banking and Finance and had even written a book entitled, “A Guide to Taking Control of Your Investments”, he found himself to be disenchanted with the financial industry and left to pursue “other work.”  The “other work” that Andrew pursued was with the Church and did not provide financial support for the family.  During this time Andy and his wife, Lissa, struggled to find other forms of income. They did what they could for themselves and their five children but often it was not enough. But there were...
