The Creators National Ice Cream for BREAKFAST Day!A key benefit of being an adult is getting to eat ice cream for breakfast, while I try not to make a habit of it, it really is the perfect pairing with your morning cup of coffee. In case you need a bit more than my permission to eat ice cream for breakfast, the first Saturday in February has been declared National Ice Cream for Breakfast Day, so now is your chance. How it startedA New York mom, Florence Rappaport, of six is credited to creating this wonderful holiday in the 1960s. Her youngest two children weren't in the best of spirits on a VERY cold snowy day (can you relate), and in order to turn their moods around, she decided to lean into the idea of all things cold, and explained that they would have ice cream for breakfast. Celebrate!If you don't want to suffer the repercussions of giving your kids ice cream for breakfast, OR, if you want to make it more of an event. Give them the gift of The Ice Cream Mill picture book. Use the book to spark curiosity about how ice cream made, what a mill really is, and bonus points if they try to come up with their own way to make ice cream.

Fifty seemed like an attainable number, yet one that would stretch me. I started strong, creating several weavings in a day, and then hit a point where I didn't like anything. Feeling stuck, I considered pulling the plug on the experiment. See more weavings After taking a few days off, I returned, reminding myself that the purpose of the experiment wasn't to...
