Here is a not very well staged photo of the homemade blackberry ice cream just to prove that I actually made it.
It was ok. Not my favorite. I still have some in the freezer if you want to try it.

#3 On My List
I finally got around to decorating Evren’s room – just finished it last week. Luckily, he loves it!
Race Car Boys Bedroom by Jenn
The large cars on the wall are actually these wallpaper murals…
Raceway WALLIES Wallpaper Mural
…and they go up exactly like the wallpaper border does. It’s ridiculously simple. I got those and the black & white checkered wallpaper border from Lowe’s. But, you can order them online also.
Girly Room
Ayla’s very girly, very bright room…
That Maya & Miguel poster on the right has since been replaced with a much more current and hip High School Musical 2 poster.
Pink enough?!
Evren’s 4th Birthday Party
This was my very first birthday party here at the house. I’m usually more than happy to hand over a couple hundred bucks to have the birthday party somewhere else, but I decided to be daring this year! And it was great! We had so much fun. Here are some of the highlights…
30 cupcakes from Sam’s Club for $11.28. Best deal ever.
Ladybugs and Bumblebees Cupcakes.
(Ok, I guess it’s mostly ‘present-opening’ highlights.)
Here’s a good shot of all the chaos after the present opening frenzy.
“Is it over already?!”
Fun facts:
* Evren was born on his exact due date, which is rare.
* His impatience was evident from the very beginning when he arrived about 15 minutes after I got to the hospital.
* He shares the same birthday as his great-grandpa. His Pops has 10 grandchildren & 20 great-grandchildren and never forgets a single birthday. But Evren is his very special birthday buddy.
Evren working on his thank-you notes the next day. Like his mama, he takes his thank-you note writing very seriously.
Cookies ‘n Creme Brownies
I was looking for a new way to jazz up my boxed brownies and this Cookies ‘n Creme Brownies recipe was perfect!
Evolution of Dance
You MUST watch this video. It’s 6 minutes long, so make a plan, take the time and have a laugh. Hilarious!
Icon Finder
I love cute icons and was crazy with excitement when I found this great site.
Icon Finder = Simple & Brilliant

Chocolate Bacon
Applewood smoked bacon + Alder smoked salt + deep milk chocolate
Deep milk chocolate coats your mouth and leads to the crunch of smoked bacon pieces.
You know I would totally try this.
Thanks to Tara for sending me the link!
