So, I was in charge of hosting my Bunco group this past month, and I decided to go with an ice cream theme...you know me and a theme, right? We're like peas in a pod. Two of a kind. Partners in crime. Peanut Butter and Jelly. Anyways. I dusted off my ice cream maker, looked up some recipes on Pinterest, and spent the week before whipping up four … [Read more...]

So, I hosted our monthly book club this month, and chose Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen for us to read. Ok, so the gorgeous cover of this copy might have been a factor...but can you blame me? helloooo pretty lady.
