Marina suggests enhancing your Fr e e z e P o p s b y replacing half of the amount of wat e r w i t h vo d k a to make it a boozy freeze pop.
Now it’s time to make your own Freeze Pops! Find your included Zipzicle® pouches and Kool-Aid® packets. Follow the instructions on the back of the Kool-Aid® packet to create your Freeze Pop mixture. Then, pour the mixture into your Zipzicle® pouches. If you have a funnel on hand, feel free to use it to pour the mixture into the pouches. Finally, seal the pouches and place in the freezer for about two hours.

Thinking back to the good ‘ole days can bring up a whole lot of laughter, a little bit of embarrassment and possibly a dash of pride when you remember how well you pulled off those bell bottoms. Whether you’re sharing awkward family photos, stories about navigating your first real job or revisiting long-lost pop culture references, talking about your “growing up” years can be a great way to connect as a couple. If you spent your formative years in the same decade, chances are you shared many of the same growing pains, cultural influences and trendy pastimes. How often do you reflect on those days? How often do you allow yourself to laugh at the awkward fashion phase or the obsession over whoever’s poster was hanging on your wall? Don’t be scared, but you’re about to open a little window into the past and hopefully share a few belly laughs!

M.a.s.h. We are stoked to help you discover your future with this throwback game of M.A.S.H. 1.
Work together to fill in answers below each section.
2.
Now it’s time to choose your number. Have one person close their eyes while the other person draws dots on the paper until the person with their eyes closed says stop. Count the number of dots (for this example, we’ll use 8).
3.
Using the example number 8, cross off every 8th answer. Once an answer has been crossed off, skip it and continue crossing off every 8th answer.
4.
Once a category has one answer remaining, circle it! Continue crossing off every 8th answer (and skipping over ones already crossed off) until you have one circled answer in each category.

Play Rock, Paper, Scissors to determine who goes first. Then, take turns playing and reminiscing about the good ole’ days!
