Summer 2014- Ice Cream Tour #6- Nelson's Ice Cream in Minnesota

This is already #6 in our Ice Cream tour! Yes this is Nelson's Ice Cream and there are only two locations for this family run business, Stillwater Minnesota and St. Paul Minnesota.

If you are looking for old fashion ice cream and a huge portion then this is the place to go! Nelson's offers over 40 flavors of ice cream and the amount you get huge and the price is fantastic!

We all ordered the kid size and none of us finished the monster portion size.

So since my ice cream was overflowing the cup I put half of it in a bowl. I finished all of the monster cookie flavor but became to full to eat the butter brickle flavor. I loved the monster cookie ice cream a lot, probably because it had a lot of peanut butter and I have become a peanut butter addict! My kids shared the ice cream flavor which actually has real gum in it.

I am so thrilled to recommend you all to plan a trip to Minnesota and go here for some great ice cream! :) Truly this child size was only $3.50... and most people can split it! :)

Nelson's also has a food challenge and since my husband was not on our road trip we are planning a time to go back so he can tackle the "Lumberjack" challenge. What exactly is the challenge? 5 softball size scoops of ice cream any flavor with three toppings! If you can finish the huge portion you get your picture on the "wall of fame!" So yes you better believe my husband is very excited for this challenge.

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

Description: The first book in The Reading Game learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender. It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long. It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program. Each of The Reading Game's six stories is told using just thirty new words. These are broken down into six sets of five words. The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game. Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory. Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not). Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...

Packing for your first ski trip

Pexels - CCO Licence So, you're gearing up for your first ski trip and the excitement is as thick as the snow you're about to conquer. But before you can show off those freshly learned pizza and French fry stops, you’ve got to pack. Packing for a ski trip can feel like preparing for a chilly expedition to the North Pole, but fear not! With these nifty tips, you'll be ready to hit the slopes in style and comfort. 1. Layer Like a Lasagna Think of your ski outfit as a gourmet lasagna: each layer is crucial. Start with a moisture-wicking base layer (yes, that includes thermal underwear) to keep you dry and snug. Over that, layer a warm and breathable mid-layer—think fleece or a wool sweater that can handle the chill. Top it all off with a waterproof and windproof jacket and pants. Remember, it's all about layers that you can add or peel off because sweating while you ski is less fun than a snowball in the face. 2. Keep Those Fingers Cosy Cold hands can ruin a...
