It's a short work week for me because of the July 4th holiday and I'm taking Friday off because going back to work on a summer Friday after a holiday just seems cruel. So here's what happened this half-a-week around here.
We got a new waffle maker! Now we have two waffle makers and can make cones twice as fast, which is great because they are a big seller (and so delicious). I had no clue how expensive these babies are, but if you guessed just over $1000 you would be correct.
Because Despicable Me 4 is coming out this week, I used my *free* Canva skills and created this for The Ice Cream Cottage:
I also ordered these cute stickers from Etsy to put on the frappe cups:
"Our Customers are One in a Minion!"
Can you see the minions taking over the shop?
And if you think it's hard to constantly be thinking about creating and accounting for the shop plus work my own full-time job plus make sure the little kids are cared for plus make dinner every night plus walk the dog plus clean the house and do the laundry plus try to have some semblance of summer fun - you would be correct. Hence my bad mood earlier this week. Also PMS, which at my age is just a stupid thing. Like really Lord, this old thing again? Sending the kids to camps next week will help my mental burden/guilt a lot and we will have fun on this long weekend, by hook or by crook. Fireworks and cookouts and parades and beach trips are on the agenda.
