Brody was born two years ago this Friday June 8th, I feel blessed to have this little being in my life. He is funny and daring and relaxed. All the things I struggle to achieve. As I plan my week I stumbled across his birthday and realized I have had not made any serious plans for his special day, but then again he is two so realize every day could be his birthday. This year I plan to fall back on a old classic: strawberry picking at Sweet Berry Farm in Middletown. Sweet Berry sits atop a hill over looking Second Beach. Its grounds promote a tranquil mindset. 

My boys love Sweet Berry. When I just had one child, my Eli we would go once a week and pick berries, flowers, peaches or just go for the ice cream. I find peace here I am not sure if it is the open air or the ocean view but no doubt it is an amazing place to spend a couple of hours, Sweet Berry embodies the wonders of Rhode Island. Rhode Islanders use beach front property as farm land, how truly amazing is that! 

A recipe for this early summer adventure- 

Fresh picked strawberry ice cream 

1 1/2 Pint fresh picked strawberries 

3/4 Cups clover honey 

1/2 Cups heavy cream 

Wash and husk strawberries, place clean strawberries in a large bowl mash with a large potato masher, when they all strawberries are broken into pieces and no whole strawberries remain pour honey over the strawberries cover and refrigerate for one hour. Add in the rest of the ingredients transfer mixture into a ice cream maker and follow the manufactures instructions. 

Serve with chocolate chips and this will make any birthday special.

Happy birthday Brody, my little wild one!
