Who else is starting to count down until Scandal starts back up again? I know it’s months away, but it’s months closer than it was! So that’s a big upside. We’ve been doing a massive re-cap over the past couple of weeks, watching from the very beginning. It’s been so much fun, and definitely beats the majority of Summer shows!

Besides that, I’ve been busy back into reading again. I seem to go through phases. One where I’m itching to keep reading and practically can’t stop. And the other where I can’t bring myself to even pick up a book. It’d been so long since I read Insurgent that I decided to read through that again, which was so much fun. I had forgotten most of what happened but then little things would happen and a big part would come back to me. Such a great book to re-read. I can’t say I’d enjoy re-reading a lot of books, but certain ones definitely. Now I’m excited to finally start the third in the series. I know I’m a little late to the game. I even pre-ordered it but never got around to starting it for one reason or another.

And like my reading phases… I’m on another ice cream kick. I just can’t stop! Can you blame me? And hopefully you’re just as excited about it as I am! I can’t promise this’ll be the last either.

Homemade ice cream is worlds better than store bought and it’s been HOT, so a nice cold treat is always a plus. Creamy homemade ice cream straight from the freezer, that’s hard to beat, especially when it’s cheesecake ice cream!

Creamy homemade cheesecake ice cream with fresh blueberries throughout and streaks of graham cracker crumbs. An absolute must make for blueberry cheesecake fans!
