The perfect summer dessert recipe! Moving sucks, you guys. So, so bad! We are now settling into our new house. This time around we decided to save some money and UHaul it – which was a mistake. We are not professional movers so we had no idea how to pack the truck correctly. Let’s just say last Sunday we pulled away with about HALF of our belongings still in our old house. It only took us 4 more DAYS and another van rental to finally have all of our stuff in our new house. I’m saying this loud and proud: NEVER AGAIN. We’re looking forward to summer 2016, a little apprehensively, but excited still. After two amazing years at our little church in central PA, Paul has be reappointed to a new church almost an hour away. When you’re a Pastor’s family, when he moves churches, we move to the new church, too. Change for me is scary, but I’m excited for this change, too. It’s a weird emotion to have! But for the time being, we’re going to celebrate summer with these three goofy boys of ours and just rest in what God is doing for our family. There’s not much time or energy left for worrying about the future when our days are filled with these crazy kids, that’s for sure! This 4th of July Ice Cream Cake is perfect to celebrate summer with your kiddos! Â This cake is gooey and SO GOOD! I plan on adding chopped Reese’s Cups in the middle of this cake next time, YUM!
