This week my little chef and kitchen helper turned SIX! SIX! I am in the same camp as all the other Mom’s that have gone before me saying “WOAH! How did this happen? I can’t believe he’s getting older and more grown up……!” He’s curious and excited and brings so much joy to life…..especially with this summer ice cream sandwich project we have going.
