Evie's new favorite ice cream is hand-mixed cookies and cream! Nora wanted cookies with ice cream in the middle, which led us to smashing joe joes into vanilla ice cream and now Evie is obsessed and loves it! I am a big cookies-and-cream ice cream fan myself and think it's a great combo - the joe joes aren't too sweet and you can adjust how smashed you want the cookies, or how much cookie you want. Next up we will have to try this with all the various joe joe flavors!
We got back from Japan about a week ago and we're still talking about what a great trip it was! Japan has never been super high on my places to visit but for a lot of reasons (I've never been, it's clean, it's safe, it's different) we took the plunge and booked it as our summer vacation this year. It helped that our friends, the Wongs, went last year, raved about it and loved it so much they were going again and we were able to coordinate so that some of our trip overlapped with theirs. It helped even more that the yen is at a 10-year low (maybe all time low?) against the dollar, which, aside from airfare, made everything quite affordable. Look how low the yen is! We lucked out that it kept falling after we booked our tix in Dec. Since this was our first big overseas trip since COVID and with kids (or, lets face it, SINCE kids), I dove into prepping for our trip - including trying to keep up my Duolingo streak of learning Japanese for at least a few minutes everyd
