Some of the best things ever!!

Blue Bell is some of the most creamy and delicious ice cream ever! When I was on my mission we had the best flavor, Tres Leches con Fresas. I have been looking and looking, but Blue Bell has rotating flavors and Tres Leches isn't available right now. But Snickerdoodle is! This is my new favorite, it is soooo YuMMy!! Cinnamon ice cream, swirls of praline and round chunks of snickerdoodle cookie!! It is the perfect end to any day. If you can get this, DO! If you live too far away, I am sorry, however, through the Blue Bell website you can order 4 half gallons for $120, seems steep, but this may be worth it. Unfortunately this may rotate out soon, get your stock now!


Kevin and I had been thinking about purchasing a memory foam mattress topper at some point. We'd look around online, but weren't sure when or if we'd really go for it. One night we both woke up several times just uncomfortable and our backs kept hurting. The next day we just went for it and got on Overstock and ordered a 4 inch topper... a few days later we were in slumber heaven! We worried a little the first night because it was sooo soft. But we slept GREAT! I am so excited for bed each night... but mornings are the worst!

It is almost October. I love Halloween! I love the fun treats, I love the spooky decorations, I love dressing up, I am very excited for the upcoming month. During church last week I drew a monster cake that I am going to make. I have been wanting to learn and practice making wedding cakes but haven't felt like I had time or a reason. But I am going to start now, one cake a month. Octobers cake isn't a wedding cake though I am going to make a monster cake, it looks really cute in my head, we will see how it turns out, but since it won't be a real cake- just decorated styrofoam- I am going to make delicious matching cupcakes! Hooray for Halloween!

Love the Blue Bell. They actually have it here in Tucson! I have been hearing about this amazing Texas ice cream for years and I finally got to try it. I really like Candy Jar flavor...have you had that one? I haven't seen Snickerdoodle...it sounds divine...I will be on the look out.
Any ideas for Halloween costumes for us? I am having a hard time coming up with something.

Wish I could try the ice cream, we really want a mattress topper too so thanks for the rave review and I can't wait to see the monster cake!

I have heard amazing things about Blue Bell and am incredibly jealous of delicious description of flavors! That will be additional motivation to get to Texas!
Congrats on new sleeping wonders!

Go Lindsey! You should definitely start making cakes! One cake a month would get you far pretty fast. I'm suprised how much easier they are to do than I thought they would be.

And with your creative mind I'm sure we'll be seeing some cute ones. I'll be waiting!!

Oh, yeah. Rub it in my face. Snow driving is not really one of my talents. Esp when my car isn't really up to snuff. Although, I'm not really jealous that you don't get any snow. I love snow!! ;)
