Life is heavy. Today I’m going to strive for lightness.

We are a family of treats. I am not saying this is good or bad, but it is true.

Something we are trying this summer to reduce the “running to get a treat” thing is:

Our Sno Cone Maker.

Yes, friends, shaved ice fixes many a cravings.

Seriously, if we whip up a batch of lemonade…add shaved ice.

If we have ice cream around…have creamy slush.

If I’m drinking iced tea…well, now I can drink it with a spoon.

We don’t have any of the flavored syrups in the house, so we’re trying to be creative. The boys love it, it fixes a craving for all of us, and is nice and frugal.

You got any Summertime Treat Tips?
