Heart of the Matter Online Conference - Win a FREE Ticket!

This sounds like a fabulous resource for homeschooling moms who are unable to get to a local homeschool conference this year...like me! The list of special speakers is long and I recognize many of them as veteran homeschoolers, authors and bloggers.

The HOTM online conference is July 31 - August 3 and even if you are unable to listen in live, you will be able to listen later at your convenience. What a great deal for only $29.95!

And check out their contest. It's open for entries until July 23rd.

Recipe Swap - Frozen Passion

I'm joining in on Jill Savage's Summer Recipe Swap Contest and so here is my first contribution.

Frozen Passion

2 cans Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed milk
1-2 2-liters of soda pop of your choice (Fruit Punch, Orange, and Root Beer are our favorites)
Ice Cream freezer, ice, rock salt

Pour soda into your ice cream freezer nearly to the fill line. Stir in sweetened condensed milk. Freeze according to freezer directions.

(Chilling the soda pop beforehand will cut down on the freezing time. If you use fruit punch, be sure it is carbonated. Hawaiian punch is not.)

My grandparents made this frequently in the summer and so making it with my family means wonderful memories for me. Hope you enjoy!

Blessings,

How do you take care of yourself?

Hop over to Jill Savage's blog and enter her March Contest about how we moms take care of ourselves.

Speaking of taking care of ourselves...my incredibly wonderful husband gave me the night off tonight! After dinner, he took the boys and bathed them and got them into bed while I was free to relax and play around on the computer. He is such a doll!!! I am spoiled! Thank you, Jason!
