Two springs in a row, our house has been a home to mother birds and their eggs. Last year, purple martins built two nest under our deck.
They would run to the deck first thing in the morning to check up on them!

Bird eggs and Mother's Day
Had this post I was going to do for Mother's day, but the time just got away from me. Sorry it's a little late. ;)

The boys had a blast looking at the eggs every morning, and then loved looking at the tiny baby birds after they hatched.

Fudge Cream
Fudge pops bring back a wonderful memory of a childhood treat. It wasn't something we had all the time, but when we did, I loved it! As to this day, I still love chocolate! And so do my little handsome boys! And we love to cook and bake all kinds of wonderful treats together. So fudge pops was on my list of things to fix!
As the name implies, fudge pops are meant to be eaten like a Popsicle. However, I have no Popsicle molds. I know, don't judge..how could a mom of little ones not have Popsicle molds?!? Well, to be honest, I did have some, but they got lost somewhere in our packing and moving a couple years ago. But did that stop us! No, sirree! We made fudge cream...poured into a loaf pan to resemble a carton of ice cream. And it did not disappoint. I actually like it better because it doesn't drip everywhere while the little handsomes are eating.
I found a recipe for fudge pops and decided to make it allergy friendly for us. This is a super easy way to fix some creamy chocolate fudge-y ice cream for a hot summer day. That's exactly why I had to fix more for our Memorial Day weekend. The last time I saw the weather, they were predicting record heat in the 90s, with heat index 100-105 degrees. That's hot, and this is sure to be a cool treat for my boys and their cousin that is visiting.
We enjoyed a little today!
