Homemade Nutella Popsicles

It's only been a week since Kuya Kim announced the start of summer and the heat is already driving me crazy. And what better way to beat this Manila heat while having fun than to make your own popsicle sticks. Yes, for Day 3 of Henry's summer break, we made our very own popsicles. And, the flavor? Nutella!!! Now, who doesn't love Nutella?

There are a lot of Nutella popsicle recipes online but we adapted ours from the one on Kidspot. We chose it because it only needs 2 ingredients, milk and Nutella.

Now, Kidspot's recipe said we needed to use full cream milk but we didn't have that. Hence, we substituted it with fresh milk instead.

What you'll need

1 cup milk
1/3 cup Nutella
Popsicle molds

Steps:

1. Combine milk and Nutella
2. Blend
3. Pour into popsicle molds and put in freezer
4. Wait 4-5 hours
5. Take out of freezer and mold
6. Enjoy!

HOT weather made the popsicle melt fast.

This recipe was enough to fill up 5 popsicle molds. Try it yourself and have a "cool" summer.

There's a hundred and four days of summer vacation,

Till school comes along just to end it.

So the annual problem of our generation, 

is finding a good way to spend it. 

These are the first few lines of the opening song of the Disney show Phineas and Ferb. And its been playing inside my head since summer vacation started for me and the little boy. My summer vacation will be cut short this year because I'll be starting my clinical clerkship (my last year in medical school) by mid-April. This is why I want to have a worthwhile summer vacay and spend every waking moment with my little boy. 

Since the hubby is still on his last week of exam in law school, we still can't go out of town. Thus I've rounded up a bunch of easy and inexpensive fun activities and ideas on Pinterest that we can do at home. Here are my top 5:

The Blog Workshop: An Online Blogging Conference

Since I started this blog, I dreamed about attending a blog conference. I want to improve on my blogging skills and maybe monetize my blog when the time comes and these are some of the things that you learn from a blog conference. Unfortunately, most of these events happen abroad (Hello from the Philippines!). Being a mom and a med student, I couldn't just hop on a plane and leave my studies and family behind for 3 days especially now that I'm starting my clerkship (4th year in med school). Plus I'd also have to consider the cost of attending one - the conference fee, plane tickets, accommodation, meals etc.

This is why I was so happy when I found about The Blog Workshop. It's an online conference happening on May 17-19, 2013. All you need is an internet connection! Since it's online, I can attend and listen to blog experts right in the comforts of my own home (and, even in my PJ's). It's very cost-effective since there would be no need to travel. And, I wouldn't have to worry about leaving school and my family. 

They have an awesome agenda and world class speakers lined up from IZEA, Blog-Trends, The Blog frog, Blogads and more.

You can register for only $175, which is waaaaay less expensive compared to others since you won't need to travel. They also offer a discount through their Indiegogo campaign. And, you can also apply for their Grant and Scholarship program.

I can't wait for my first ever blog conference and you can expect me to be live tweeting during the event. If you're interested you can head on to The Blog Workshop Registration Page and sign up.
