Listograpyh - Ice Cream

Check out Kate Takes 5 to see other fun lists and to read her fantastic blog!

I thought this sounded like too much fun to pass up!  It's also been interesting to see people from all around the world list their ice cream favorites to see what is available where and the different names some things are given in different places.  So, without further ado, my top 5 ice cream picks:

1.  Dove Bar:  The chocolate is so creamy and thick on these it makes my mouth water just thinking about it.  Not only for cool weather, they are great by the fireplace, too!


2.  Ben and Jerry's Peanut Butter and Jelly pint:  they discontinued this flavor years ago, but I still dream about it.  Ben, Jerry, I beg of you, bring it back!  The jelly was strawberry.  Just for those of you who think this sounds gross, you must taste before judging!


3.  Good Humor Strawberry Shortcake: This is one of those that seems to go by many names around the globe.  As I said in a comment on someone else's list, it reminds me of days at the public pool as a kid.  I always felt like I'd won the lottery when I managed to have money to buy an ice cream while I was there!


4.  The good old ice cream sandwich:  You cannot go wrong with one of these babies.  Ever.  It really doesn't matter what brand as long as you stick with the traditional soft chocolate cookie on the outside and the vanilla ice cream in the middle.


5.  And last, but certainly not least, the Nestle ice cream cookie sandwich.  Brand is critical here.  Unlike with the regular ice cream sandwich, where almost any brand will do, Nestle is the only company to have mastered this bad boy.  Of course, it has enough calories that you really have to count it as a full meal.  Fortunately, it's big enough for that.


And there you have it.  Cool refreshment for summer.  Or for any time of the year, really.  Enjoy!

You're Still a Good Mom

 I have a friend whose child has special needs.  One of my children has some special needs as well.  She and I were talking the other day, as we sometimes do, about our children.  The great thing about someone like this is that things can be short-handed.  We can share our frustrations and triumphs and know that the other person just gets it in a way that would need to be explained to anyone else. "I have to tell you something," I said.  "I haven't taken my kiddo to the dentist yet."  This is a great shame of mine but one born from survival.  We have had so many issues to deal with.  Things have been so very overwhelming for such a very long time.  We have been taking baby steps for years, and those baby steps have been working.  This one thing, however, has remained one thing to many for some reason. My friend paused and looked me in the eye.  "That's okay.  You're still a good mom," she said calmly. Tears sprang into my eyes.  I hadn't kn

Dear Birth Mother

How can I wrap up all of my hopes and dreams, all of my worries and fears, all of the roads that have led our family to yours, in a single note?  The short answer is, I can't.  I can't do it any more than you can readily know that you are making the right choice in our family by reading the little bit of information on the pages you're provided by the agency. I can try to tell you that there is more than just a baby in this adoption for us.  There is an opportunity that I didn't know existed before we began this process.  Each day I think of you, wondering what your struggles are, wondering if you are okay.  I hold your heart, this woman I don't yet know, close to my own.  I send up my prayers for your well-being, for your health, for your peace.  And know this: I do these things not only because I think I will get the child that you carry, but because you deserve it. I can share with you that I know, as a mother, that the decision you are making is not your fir

Who is recording this children's music? And why?

One of the things my daughter enjoys is listening to CD's while we drive.  My car doesn't have a DVD player in it (I know, the humanity), but I've never found that to be an issue as she has always been perfectly content listening to her music.  Her father and myself, we miss our music.  But we tolerate hers because she enjoys it.  Some of it is even kind of good.  A lot of it, however, is just down right disturbing. The Mister came to me the other day with this proclamation:  "I am thinking about throwing out that CD we've been listening to with The Nugget.  It has come to my attention that no less than five animals, maybe six, lose their lives during the course of CD." I can't disagree with him here.  Dying animals doesn't seem like such an awesome theme for children.  I mean, yes, animals and all living things do eventually die.  I'm just not sure that's a topic I want to explore with my child on the way to, say, the zoo or her grandparen
