Since my last post, the weather has turned on me! It's been rainy, windy, thundering, hailing chaos! It's almost June and I'm shocked by the weather we're having, but I won't let it get me down. I say....treat each day like summer and hopefully it will come quicker. With that in mind, I have a great place for you to try out... Molly Moon's Handmade Ice Cream.

I have an absolute passion for ice cream.... MMMM it's the one dessert I crave and simply can't get enough of! My go to brands are Ben & Jerry's and Haagan-dazs - anything chunky, full of cookies and lots of flavor is what I love! So when I heard EVERYONE talk about Molly Moon's and even saw the crazy lines going into the ice cream shop, I just had to check it out for myself. I went late one evening close to 11pm and you should have seen the line! Kid's, families, people on dates.... everyone was there and everyone was willing to wait. The smell of warm waffle cones definitely helped the wait and with so many flavors to choose from I needed the time. I'm that person who asks to try like 5 different flavors, it's quite embarrassing for the people with me. Because not only do I try the flavors but I have to sit and talk about them and give my opinion.... which is ridiculous...I know. Once it was my turn I went for the Balsamic Strawberry in a waffle cone (of course) and wow, it was creamy and had a fantastic combination of flavors. The balsamic really made all the flavors come alive.

What makes Molly Moon's so special is all their handmade flavors. They've created their own recipes but have also taken boring flavors we all know and have made them fun and new again.

I cannot wait to go back!

Now that the warm weather has hit, it calls for a cool treat. My fav.... Red Mango!!! They have the BEST tart yogurt....mmmm add some fresh fruit or captain crunch and you've got the perfect summer dessert.

Mother's Day is coming so I've put together a few ideas for your celebration...

If you're planning a brunch at your home and interesting in adding some yummy treats to complete your meal then stop by Bakery Nouveau located in West Seattle. They have delicious French pastries, breads and desserts. My absolute favorite is their twice baked almond croissant, it's so moist and flavorful! ymmmmm! And instead of picking up chocolates, treat your mom to some parisian macaroons. They're so cute and tasty, she'll love em' ;-)

If you want to do something real special for ol' mom, make a reservation at Serafina on East Lake. The food, the atmosphere and the music are all fantastic. The menu is rustic Italian and the entertainment is a live jazz band. I dined there last Easter and had a fabulous time, I was amazed at how once you step into the restaurant you instantly feel like you're in a far away place. I've always been fascinated with Italian culture, and Serafina definitely does a great job at embracing the tastes, the sights and feeling of Italy.

Now that it's May I hope the April showers have gone away... I'm ready for flowers, cherry blossoms and of course warm weather. AND...to be honest, I want to break out my spring/summer wardrobe! I've got some great outfits in the works... haha I'm sure many of you are rolling your eyes. It's okay, I like to play dress up ;-). Today I was out shopping and I can't help but get excited that the 80's are really coming back. I'm definitely reminded of my preschool outfits...haha ooo how fashion is constantly going round and round. The whole nautical trend hasn't gone out either which makes me REALLY happy. For one, I love anything nautical and two I'm heading to the east coast in a month so all of my nautical garb will fit in just perfect! Ha, Boston... Cape Cod you don't know what's coming your way.
