Summer fun and lazy Sundays + Baskin-Robbins Ice Cream Giveaway

by Katrina - The Organised Housewife December 3, 2012June 4, 2019
December 3, 2012June 4, 2019

This post is sponsored by Nuffnang and Baskin-Robbins

Hubby and I have been so busy the past few weeks.  Mr Organised is working a lot of extra hours as he is running his own Accounting business. As for me, I have had my 9 month old niece recently stay for 4 days, it was really lovely having her stay, I could easily play with her and watch her all day, she is a ray of sunshine. But I lost quite a few working hours whilst she was here and wasn’t able to cross much off my blog to-do list.  I am going to be busy blogging away in my office over the next few weeks so I can catch up and hopefully have everything completed before the kids finish school… I have 2 weeks, wish me luck.

Working from home can be a challenge, but the key is to be disciplined with your time.  We always switch off our computers on Friday nights and have the night playing games or relaxing watching TV with the kids.  Saturdays for now Mr Organised has to work, but we ensure we have computer free days on Sundays and the best way to do this is to go out, enjoy the sunshine, walk, ride bikes, swim, laugh, have a picnic, browse local markets or go shopping.  

Sundays are always a family day for us which means just the 5 of us no extras. I think it’s important to spend time together, be happy, enjoy each others company and enrich our relationships. Doing this now sets the foundation of my expectations of our kids when they are older.  I want my teenage kids to still enjoy a night home with us, grown adults to pop over for a cuppa and share their latest news and triumphs.  This is why spending time as a family is so important to us. 

 One of our favourite things to do on a Sunday is to spend time by the water with a packed picnic or have fish n chips when I’m feeling like having a real lazy Sunday. We usually take our own tables and chairs because the park is very busy.

We like taking the kids to a local park at Paradise Point with a swimming inlet, near by is a great fish n chip shop and to top off the hot summer day we visit the Baskin-Robbins ice cream shop cause it’s officially ‘ice cream’ season. 

When the kids have had enough swimming we grab an ice cream.  Now I’m a big ice cream fan.  One of my ultimate favourites being a tub of Choc Chip cookie dough, preferably slowly eating it after dinner while watching a movie.  Baskin-Robbins recently did some research and they found that 1 in 4 confess to having eaten it first thing in the morning or as a midnight snack.    

Studies also show that one in four describe themselves as ‘double scoopers’ who prefer to pile their cone high.  We have no excuse, rather it’s just too hard to choose one flavour.  

 15% of those surveyed prefer a cup over a cone, hubby and I love their thick shakes.

Miss 9 eats her ice cream so slowly (known as a slow slurper) and always ends up in a sticky mess.  Great excuse to have another swim!!

5 lucky readers will win one ice cream party pack each.  

This includes a voucher for a free Baskin-Robbins ice cream cake (valued at $40 each). It gets delivered with boys or girls ice cream candles, a ‘pinky’ character toy and balloons.

Plus… there are 15 $20 vouchers to giveaway as well.

To Enter answer the following question in the comments below:

Tell me how you’d describe your ice cream eating technique: Are you a slow slurper? A speed eater? Or something completely different?

GOOD LUCK!!

Ice cream is my BIGGEST downfall, I LOVE it! So to enjoy it even longer I eat it with a tea spoon so it lasts longer and I devour it slowly. Don’t judge me!! 🙂

Reply
Rebecca Stamp December 3, 2012 - 9:20 AM

I like to eat my ice cream slowly but I also lick around the edge of the cone to stop the drips and to help the ice cream keep it’s shape!

Reply
Megan December 3, 2012 - 9:30 AM

I use a teaspoon to eat my ice cream but to make it last longer I lick the ice cream from the spoon slowly. Because of my strange ice cream eating habits I never eat ice cream in public as in the past people have looked at me. When the two younger kids are eating their ice creams I will lick around the cone so that I can help stop the drips. It’s funny because I try to get them to take bites and eat it fast BUT that’s only because I don’t want sticky children in the car lol

I am a fast ice cream eater & unfortunately for my waist not satisfied & have to have another just to make sure I really enjoyed it as much as I thought I did. Of course I did cause it is Ice Cream – YUM!!

Reply
Melanie Heron Jazownik December 3, 2012 - 9:45 AM

No waster…this is more difficult in public but at home when no one is around(dont want to give the kids any ideas) the ice cream is just too good to waste so i find myself licking the bowl !! Mint choc chip is my downfall, cant go past it.

I eat it slowly and savour the flavour and indulgence. But my main priority is to hide from the kids so I don’t have to share!

Reply
Angie Boylan December 3, 2012 - 10:00 AM

I like to eat it slowly, licking and making sure nothing drips or falls off always keeping a nice rounded shape …. unless it’s a really hot day and it’s melting fast, then it’s eat as quick as I can or I’ll lose it to a puddle on the floor!

Felic December 3, 2012 - 11:36 AM

Neatly! My life is a complete mess but one thing I’ve always done super neatly and in an bizarrely organised fashion is the eating of ice cream. But… anything done properly takes time and therefore so does my ice-cream eating…

Reply
Melissa Daly December 3, 2012 - 11:53 AM

I’m a selfish ice cream eater – I take my time because I hold out till the kids are in bed and then I don’t have to share or get interrupted. I can savour every mouthful. Vanilla with crushed up maltesers and black cherries or the amazing summer chiller of vanilla and watermelon. YUMMO

Reply
Tegan Kirk December 3, 2012 - 12:05 PM

I’m a fast eater. I eat the top off above the cone and then eat sections of the cone leaving another icecream top. I continue this technique until the end. I also make sure I push the icecream down into the cone with my tongue.

Reply
Thanh December 3, 2012 - 12:30 PM

I’m an ‘around the globe’ ice cream eater. The technique to this is to turn the ice cream cone while you lick the ice cream on top! More or less like an ice cream turntable!

Reply
Di December 3, 2012 - 12:43 PM

I’m a top to bottom eater – eat the ice cream down to the cone and then turn the cone whilst nibbling off cone and ice-cream. I also try to push the icecream down the cone (with my tongue!) so I get nice and even icecream eating!

Reply
Narelle Howell December 3, 2012 - 12:59 PM

I prefer icecream in a bowl or a cup with a spoon. I like it to get soft and creamy. I don’t stir too much, don’t like it sloppy. Just a bit melted. The spoon has to be a small one, not a big one. Lasts longer that way. I enjoy it slowly. Definitely more than one scoop.

Reply
Trish December 3, 2012 - 2:10 PM

I am a pig basically as icecream is my favourite all time food, I even eat it in the middle of winter wrapped up in a blanket (as my good friend will atest to!). I love eating it straight out of the tub, somtimes on its own and sometimes with twisties as my spoon, oh yumm.

I agree family time is the most important of all. I’m not big on TV and have always stuck to no tv on weekends except the odd family movie. We are lucky to have an ice cream van come down our street every Sat evening at 6pm. The kids are allowed to sit up and wait for this special treat and we all sit outside and watch the sun go down together. The kids get cones but I’m a super slow ice cream eater – it’s gotta be in a cup!

Reply
Rach December 3, 2012 - 7:48 PM

I used to bite and chew, then I met my husband. I wondered why I always finished my icecream before him – he taught me how to lick icecream cones, and now they last much longer!

I love icecream!! I prefer to mix mine in a bowl to make it really soft and eat it slowly. This way I avoid brain freeze! My favourite baskin flavour of all time was key lime cheesecake icecream

Reply
Kelly Lakeman December 3, 2012 - 10:34 PM

I’m a licker of an icream in a cone and shape it as i go along. If it’s on a stick then I put as much in my mouth as i can and suck as i pull it back out again so it eventually creates a point at the top! Then with the last little bit left i will snap it off the stick so I can chew the last bit!!! If it’s with a spoon i will put a BIG amount on it and shove it all in my mouth and pull it out again so i am only taking a bit at a time! I’m odd I know … it’s what makes me ME!!!! ps now I REALLY am feeling like ICECREAM!!!!

Reply
Amy December 4, 2012 - 3:33 AM

I love to start at the top, have a few bites, then i lick around the bottom off the ice-cream coan, to continue i have a little bit off the ice cream coan. Then start the process again, its kind off like a merry-go-round when I come to think off it.

I like to eat mine slow but not messy. Very hard to do.

Abby Easthope December 4, 2012 - 6:47 AM

I have never been a big ice cream person, except for Baskins. I really, really love Baskins. I always eat it with their choc fudge topping, sometimes going for the banana splits or waffle cones… I’m not a speed eater but I like it still frozen – so I sometimes have to re-freeze halfway through 🙂

Reply
Gillian Larcombe December 4, 2012 - 7:05 AM

I’d call myself a “dart and lick”, as I slowly turn the cone around, looking for driblets as the icecream starts to melt, then darting my tongue out to catch those driblets before they run onto my hand. I take a loooooong time to eat icecream!

Being a mum, I think I’d classify myself as “the cleaner”. I have to swap my ice-cream with each child before they end up a huge mess (much lie your picture above). No matter how much I tell them where to get the drips, they always persist on going from the top (especially Mr 5). But they’re used to me grabbing there’s for a quick “round up”, then they get it back again. Easy!

Reply
del king December 4, 2012 - 11:47 AM

When it comes to ice cream, I have no off button and I can not share. I am a scoffer. I figure the faster I eat it, the less opportunity I have to share. I then offer to clean up the drips from the ice cream cones that the kids are holding! Not very nice of me I know but it is ice cream 🙂

Reply
Kirsty Ross-Bell December 4, 2012 - 12:03 PM

I start at the top slowly and lick my way round and then chew the cone love the crunch sound before it becomes soggy. My daughter is slow and steady and always make a mess

Kathy McMullen December 4, 2012 - 12:21 PM

I am definitely a slow slurper! Love to make it last.

Eating icecream fast,
Is the best for sure,
Sharing isn’t a possibility,
When there is no more!
No dribbles can escape,
Making a mess everywhere,
And I finish before my toddler,
So a tantrum I am spared 🙂

Reply
Leila Matthews December 4, 2012 - 3:41 PM

I suffer from sensitive teeth so i tend to lick and use my lips and tongue bypassing my front teeth and then suck until that bit is dissolved before moving on, of course the sensitivity is to the cold not the delicious crunch of the cone. Although i’m prone to skipping the cone when i am out with the children in favour of a cup (less mess for me to clean up and less icecream i am guaranteed to wear)

Reply
Mary Preston December 4, 2012 - 8:13 PM

I just dive right in. Great ice-cream doesn’t wait to technique.

Michelle Griguol Harris December 5, 2012 - 6:35 AM

I’m the mummy who doesn’t buy herself an ice cream because inevitably at least on one of my three will not like or complete their ice cream and I end up eating it. If I bought one for myself I’d never get any because one of the kids would decide that they like mine better

Reply
Cheryl Palmer December 5, 2012 - 9:08 AM

I’m a spoon licker – I prefer mine in a cup. I take a scoop with my spoon then turn the spoon unside down and lick the ice-cream off 🙂

Reply
Naomi.H. December 6, 2012 - 12:57 PM

I love to eat mine slow and enjoy every moment of the tasty treat.. Love licking all the way around the ice cream and then when I hit the cone I take little bits all the way around so my cone stays the same level as I eat down near bottom.. Once I have a little cone left I then just gobble that bit up in my mouth..Best way is slow…

Reply
Nicki December 6, 2012 - 12:58 PM

im a licker, I cant handle it when I see people bite their ice-cream. I am also a vanilla fan, nothing beats vanilla ice-cream

Reply
Jennifer December 6, 2012 - 1:06 PM

hmmmm, just the thought of licking peppermint choc chip….. I wouldn’t call myself a slow slurper, but I do like to take my time and enjoy every mouth full. Unfortunately with little ones to attend to I find myself starting as a slow slurper, but then changing to a speed eater so I can rescue the kids as ice cream runs down their arms.

Reply
Shauns December 6, 2012 - 2:07 PM

Cookie dough….mmmmm…
Ice cream must be devoured (especially cookie dough). Lick over the top and then around the sides to prevent any drips (can’t waste ANY!). I can still remember when my cousin visited Australia for the first time (from Belorussia, when 10 years old) and tried his first ice cream cone. There was no method and it was a soggy heap in his hand – disaster!! And chocolate icecream too…

Reply
Jen December 6, 2012 - 2:42 PM

A Summer’s day is not complete without an ice cream and Baskin & Robbins is my absolute favourite. As a foster carer and mother of many, I don’t get out much so the best kind of ice cream is in a waffle cone, contains chocolate, is eaten slowly but not so slow it melts, and not shared! 🙂

Reply
SylviaB December 6, 2012 - 3:57 PM

I’m a top-down ice cream eater now, but as a child I couldn’t resist nibbling the tip off the cone pretty much at the beginning of each ice cream. That always ended up in a huge mess, as the melted ice cream would start running down the sides of the cone AND out of the little hole I’d nibbled at the bottom.
Now that I’ve pretty much mastered the neat way of eating ice cream, I try to instruct my two children, without much success so far. One of them is a scoffer, the other a very slow licker, both styles being messy…

Ruth West December 6, 2012 - 4:11 PM

Reply
Debbie Barton December 13, 2012 - 8:30 PM

I love to lick around the edges then slurp down from the top until it is level with the top of the cone. I then like to bite the bottom off the cone and suck it out through the bottom…..yummy!!!! If it is a waffle cone I like to unpeel the cone which is my favourite part.

Reply
Bronwyn Bosomworth December 13, 2012 - 9:08 PM

Shan Tawhi Rickus December 14, 2012 - 1:16 AM

Looking over the years,
I can see my tastes have changed.
My ice cream sensitivity,
Evolved as I have aged.

My first years I demanded,
The exact same as my mum!
Together we would conquer,
Old school Raisin – Rum!

As twilight settled over,
My crazy teenage years.
Fat free So Good Chocolate,
Ment skinny clothes to wear!

Then my world was altered,
When I became a wife.
Mother to my children…
A new but blissful life!

Matured, my tastes were craving,
A sweet and sinful dream.
That’s when I discovered,
Baskin’s Cookie Cream!

My first Baskin’s adventure,
Was of the sinful kind.
Their Sundaes made with Brownie,
Completely blew my mind!

Now I have an Ice Cream Method.
And it’s called “The Ultimate Taste”.
It’s where I take a mighty spoonful,
And nothing goes to waste.

I make sure that every element,
Is spooned up the exact same time.
Every sprinkle, nut and wafer,
Is declared to be all mine!

Simply put each spoonful holds,
A mini sundae of its own.
It’s the way I’ve always eaten it!
From a child, to now I’m grown!

Merry Xmas!
Thanks for the give away x

Mo all-time favourite ice cream flavour was made by a company in the South West of WA and was maple-walnut, but unforutnately its not made anymore, but my close second favourite flavour is Hokey Pokey from Baskins Robbins and my waist line is protesting the opening of a new show just 5 minutes away! When I eat I generally eat fast asI detest it when ice cream starts to melt over my fingers. I eat it in a waffle cone, slowly pushing the ice cream to the bottom so I can enjoy the last ice creamy, waffley bite

Reply
Samantha Savva December 20, 2012 - 4:08 PM

Depends on the ice cream!!! Usually though I eat mine SO quickly that I then get to help miss 4 finish hers off 😉 hehe cheeky yes but it means I get MORE ice cream. lol. Waffle cone all the way generally cookie dough/cookies and cream or chocolate/double chocolate or triple chocolate flavour ANY day!

Caroline December 24, 2012 - 2:23 PM

I lick the top then run my tongue around the ice cream then lick underneath sides then have a bit from the top and repsat no spillage this way especially for the basking and robins caramel choc crunch yummy

My daughter is slow slurper, she loves her ice cream so much. She want it to last longer, by licking it side to side until it become the perfect smooth round shape. No drips at all !!!

✨ Task: Baking Day
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I always add something baked to the lunchboxes like a muffin or biscuits. I usually always bake with the intention to freeze. I place the frozen muffin/biscuits into lunch boxes that morning and it's always defrosted by morning tea time. I spend an hour or two in the kitchen every few weeks to stock up the freezer. My favourites are coconut & pineapple muffins, 100+ cookies, and ham muffins 👩‍🍳🍪

School/work mornings can end up chaotic, but with a little routine and planning, you can make the lunch packing madness a simple and easy process. During the school holidays, I spend a few hours doing a big bake up- making snacks and lunches to put in the freezer to have on hand to place into the kid’s lunchboxes.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

✨ Task: Wardrobe Declutter
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In our new year refresh series, we turned around our coat hangers to see at the beginning of the next season what we haven’t worn (my hanger method). I forgot to take a photo but you will see the number of clothes I haven’t worn between then and now in my stories. There were quite a few. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have since gone through and purged them and because I have to be honest with you, I have put on weight in this past year and choosing clothes to wear in the mornings has been a little depressing as there are quite a few that don’t fit me. It has only been 24 hours since I tidied up my wardrobe but waking up this morning and picking my clothes was already a brighter and easier start to my day 💛
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
LOL, and yes I colour code my clothes.

✨ Task: Create A Meal Plan
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Each week I plan my meals for the upcoming week- what most people call meal or menu planning. I have been doing this for a good 18 years and I can't recommend it enough! 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It really is a simple task that takes 5-10 minutes to plan one week of meals. The money and time that these five minutes save me throughout my week, makes it well worth the effort. Plus, I’m not a huge fan of visiting the grocery store more than once a week 🛒
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have been online grocery shopping for nearly 2 years now. I love it, I rarely see the inside the grocery store these days. I do a local pick up and use my laundry basket with legs instead of bags. Makes unpacking when in the kitchen so much easier 😊
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you meal plan? If not will you give it a try? If you do, why do you love it?
