Mint Ice Cream

So, during my last doctors appointment before Ammon was born we were watching the food network channel in the waiting room (not a nice channel for those that are pregnant:)) and I saw a really simple recipe for mint ice cream. So the other night we tried it out and YUMMY!!!! It turned out sooo creamy and just delicious! Here it is for you to try:)

Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

Ingredients

2 cups sweetened condensed milk, chilled

2 cups heavy whipping cream

1/4 tsp. peppermint extract (I used mint)

1/8 tsp. green food coloring

1 cup mini chocolate morsels

Directions

Mix the condensed milk, cream, flavoring, and food coloring until smooth. Chill thoughly. Follow ice cream maker instuctions. When mixture turns slushy looking at chocolate morsels. Freeze until ripened to your likeing (we did overnight and it was perfect) ENJOY!!!

Make your own Nursing Pads

Now that Ammon is here, I am back to nursing and realized (again) just how stupidly expensive nursing pads are! I rememberd how many times I just would have a permenant wet spot on my shirt and how embarrassing it was. So I got online and found some helpful tutorials on how to make your own!! Here is what I did and sooo far no leaks:)

Materials

Flannel-to wick moisture away from breast
Fleece-to prevent leakage
Thread

Directions

Using an old cd (I used a roll of masking tape) or anything circular, cut our three layers of flannel for each pad.

Cut out one circle of fleece.

Layer together and use a zigzag stitch around edge. Cut as close to seam as possible and you are done!!

To use place flannel against breast and fleece towards your shirt.

I have used mine for a few days and haven't had any leaks and they are soft and don't itch:) Hope this works for you! I used an old flannel sheet and some fleece scraps and made 8 sets to last me between washings.
