My schedule is full with several sports schedules, school activities, my business, etc…. When I was younger (did I really just use that phrase) I would excel when I had a lot on my plate. Now, I just get overwhelmed and forgetful. I am trying to keep a good calendar and not let myself get to busy and overwhelmed, but it may be crazy until school is over. So, I am going to need some extra help. I looked up Memory in my wonderful Reference Book and found some great suggestions!
In North Texas we usually don’t get much snow. We usually get ice which is no fun! Today we got tons of good, powder snow.

We decide to try and make Snow Ice Cream. We set a large bowl out on the patio table and let snow accumulate. After the bowl was full, we brought it in. We made several different flavors.
