ONE QUESTION before you go!  What is your favorite ice cream flavor?  Mine is mint chocolate chip.  YUM!
brand?  (OK.  That's 2 questions!)  I love Jeni's (Backyard Mint is luscious).  Check out Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams  HERE.

  6. Oooh, those ice cream sandwich earrings were SO CUTE. And I'm a vanilla gal, unless there's maybe Hagen Daz maple walnut around, but there never is.

  10. We over-enjoy ice cream in this house too! I have many favorites, but my fav favorite is cookies & cream ... forgot the name of the brand, but I know exactly where to find it. Ok, my most especially favorite is the homemade we can buy from the Mennonnite community shop!
