Here&#8217;s a few things I came across that I thought were fun and easy to do! -When going out for ice cream, get a cone rather than a bowl.

My son is still in elementary school and at the end of each school year he brings back left over supplies that the teacher divides up between students.

My drink of choice is a grande x-tra hot nf latte, or an iced nf latte if it&#8217;s a hot day.

Vancouver Washington, where I live, is rapidly growing. [...]]]></description>
