Make the Most of Spring

For our family, that truly means that we keep a stocked fridge and freezer and craft supplies on hand to enjoy whatever the weather throws at us. One of our family’s favorite snacks is ice cream and I was inspired to create our favorite ice cream lasagna after seeing some of the tasty Blue Bunny ice cream in the store the other day.

With the weather in Colorado going from the negatives to 90 in the span of 2 hours, we are always prepared for whatever the season throws at us.  For us, this means that we have everything for soup on those cold days, to ice cream and crafts like the easy bubble wands for those hot days.  Check out how we make the most of this spring time craziness. 

Cheesecake Ice Cream Lasagna

Look, I am all for easy, but sometimes you have to add a little flair to those desserts and this cheesecake ice cream lasagna is one of my favorites to make and one of my family’s favorites to eat.  It is actually pretty easy to make too!

Cheesecake Ice Cream Lasagna crust

First, create the waffle cone crust and pressed it into the bottom of the dish.  It is easiest to do this with a food processor, so that you get a nice even fine crush to your waffle cones.  Once you have that done, then layer in your ice cream choice.

Whipped cheesecake layer

Next, make a layer of whipped cheesecake for that lasagna!  A little cheesecake pudding mix, some whipped topping and a little milk and sugar and this layer was ready to place on top of your ice cream layer. 

Peanut Butter Cup Ice Cream Lasagna

The next layer is your crunchy goodness!  I am a big fan of peanut butter cups and so I cut up some cups and crunched some waffle cone pieces and sprinkled those evenly on top of the whipped cheesecake layer.  To add a little more, I added some chocolate syrup too!  I repeated those layers one more time and froze overnight.  The result is probably the most delicious Cheesecake Ice Cream Lasagna.

DIY Bubble Wands!

In our world, having a sweet treat is great, but having entertainment that we can create inside and use outside as the weather permits is critical!  Our fun this past weekend was making bubble wands and you guys, they are so easy to make and give your children hours of entertainment!

DIY Bubble Wands

The bubble wands are super easy to make!  Just grab some pipe cleaners and twist them into whatever shapes and sizes your little heart’s desire. We did reinforce the handles of our bubble wands by winding another pipe cleaner around them, but they worked perfectly.

The bubble wands are a blast and create some amazingly huge bubbles.  We made a big heart and star and then a couple small wands and played for a few hours Sunday while the weather was nice.  We used dish soap and a plastic storage container to make the soap solution and had the best time.
