Did you know July is National Ice Cream month? It’s also my birthday month, but I’m not going to tell you which birthday I celebrated on the 10th 🙂

In honor of this special month, I’m going to share with you some fun resources and ideas of ways you too can celebrate Ice Cream! And for the record, it’s OK to eat it as a main course in case you don’t save room for dessert. That’s my philosophy anyway… shhhh don’t tell my 5 year old.

Like my little photo layout and banners for this post? I downloaded them for free here at Oh My Handmade. In case you missed Jessika’s post, click here for your very own.

Around this time last year I was contacted by Studio 5 KSL TV in Utah, about an Ice Cream Parlour feature they were preparing for. I sent them a set of my Pinwheel Ice Cream Invitations for Girl’s and matching party accessories and was super excited to see them when the feature aired. They included too many great party ideas to list here, but if you check out their site they list several of the vendors. Watch the segment below, I’m sure you’ll get inspired. In fact next month I plan to throw an Ice Cream for Dinner party for my 5 year old and some of his friends as a way to celebrate the end of Summer and of course make memories using my new Ice Cream Popsicle Complete Party Set.

Top 10 Favorite Ice Cream Recipes brought to you by Brown Eyed Baker

Why not try your hand at making your own ice cream? I adore the look of old fashioned, hand crank ice cream makers. They make me wish I could step back in time when everyone sat on their front porches making ice cream in the Summertime because there was no such thing as air conditioning. Wouldn’t that be fun? If hand cranking your own ice cream is not your idea of fun, you can make your own handmade ice cream without using an ice cream maker, as shown to us by Brown Eyed Baker. She’s my new ice cream Queen.

Care/Carry/Cure an essay from ‘You Care Too Much’

In June of 2016 I supported my love Chris as we dealt with the death of both his parents and a co-worker over a three week period. This essay written the summer of those deaths is my attempt to make sense of grief and the struggle to carry all that I care for. Originally published […]
