End of Summer Giveaway: $25 Target Gift Card & FREE Ice Cream!

It’s happened…it’s officially the last week of August. My morning commute was further slowed by the snail-like pace of school buses and this morning’s Facebook feed was dominated with first day of school pictures.

I refuse to give up on summer so quickly though. We’re going to sneak in one last family trip down to Ocean City so that we can celebrate the end of the season with sleeping in, sand and an all-you-can-eat crab feast. I’ll definitely be posting some fun vacation pictures in the near future – possibly even including Ollie’s first trip (that we know of) to the beach.

Until we pack up and leave for our trip, we’re having a bit of a mini celebration at home by eating lots of shaved ice snowballs and Italian ice while the roadside stands are still open. We’ve also been enjoying ice cream at home and I thought I’d share my super easy and tasty treat with you all:

ice creamStep 1: Put an over-sized marshmallow in a coffee mug and microwave it for about 25 seconds until the marshmallow blows up over the top of the cup.

Step 2: Add a couple scoops of mint chocolate chip ice cream.

Step 3: Scoot your dog aside on the couch, curl up under your blanket and enjoy your treat while watching trashy TV (VMAs anyone?). Yum!

So speaking of ice cream… let’s have an End of Summer Giveaway!

How to enter my awesome contest:
Leave a comment below and tell me how you like to eat your ice cream. Are you a scoop of ice cream in a bowl kinda guy or gal? Or maybe you like to blend yours into a tasty milkshake and add some liquor?

The prizes:*

  • Grand Prize (1 awarded): $25 Target gift card and a coupon for free Breyers ice cream
  • Runner Up Prizes (3 awarded): a coupon for free Breyers ice cream

I’ll accept entries from now until noon on Thursday, August 29th. Good luck!

Celebrating National Ice Cream Month with a Contest

So, I’m a bit behind the times and didn’t actually realize until more than halfway through the month that July is National Ice Cream Month.

Really, a MONTH for the awesomeness of ice cream? And I didn’t KNOW about this?

How did I, a BREYERS AMBASSADOR, not know that July is National Ice Cream Month?!

Geez, if I had a crown they might take it away from me for this kind of behavior! I plan on making up for lost time by celebrating to the best of my ability for the next couple weeks. And by ‘best of my ability’ I mean eating as much ice cream as possible while still fitting into the super cute outfits I’m packing for BlogHer.

As a way to kick off my celebrations, I’ve decided that this weekend is going to be a Summer Spectacular at our house!

I’ve picked two things off our Family Summer Sand Bucket List and decided that they’re happening this weekend:

  • Enjoy an ice cream cone with sprinkles (because Sunday is National Ice Cream Day!)
  • See a movie in a super cold air conditioned theater

My amazing brother has volunteered to babysit Jack for us, so my husband and I are having a DATE on Sunday. In the last 17 months, we’ve actually only had 2 dates without our son so this is kind of a big deal. A big deal that will include ice cream AND a movie!

I want to treat you guys too so that everyone can celebrate National Ice Cream Month! Let’s have a little contest:

How to enter my awesome contest:
Leave a comment below and tell me how you’re planning on celebrating National Ice Cream Month and your favorite ice cream flavor.
