It’s good to be back to regular blogging. This past few weeks was gloriously spent with my sister, her husband and son who were in town from the Netherlands.<\/p>\n

There’s nothing like a visit from family, especially those we’ve not met for a while now.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

From road trips to hopping into theme parks, we did it all and had so much fun.\u00a0The past 3 weeks simply flew. This always happens whenever we are having way too much fun.<\/p>\n

I’m sorting through photos and it’s difficult not to shed a tear after spending wonderful time with the family. We are missing them so much already.<\/p>\n

The only way to drown our sorrows is through a couple of homemade popsicles.\u00a0I’d suggest you do the same. Throw away those painkillers, Prozacs etc. Drive to a store, pick-up a popsicle mold and get to work.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

While you are at it, do yourself a favor and get a cherry pitter for sanity. Otherwise you’d spend your entire adult life regretting all those precious times spent removing cherry pits with your hands.<\/p>\n

It’s a painstaking process.<\/p>\n

Now, I know what you are thinking sister.. Why these popsicles didn’t exist when you were visiting? Well, I have the perfect excuse for it — there weren’t any cherry pitter in my life.<\/p>\n

Not until now, thank god.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Oh and another tip, avoid dropping frozen popsicle mold at any cost. It results in halved popsicle and broken mold. Not a pretty sight especially when you are enthusiastic about frozen treats.<\/p>\n
