My name is Christine Connally and I have been an Au Pair in America Community Counselor in Maryland, since 2003. My service area includes: Takoma Park, Silver Spring, Prince George's County and Southern Anne Arundel County, Maryland.
Au Pair in America is the nation's first legal au pair program. Since 1986, we have provided the best child care opportunities to host families across the US and au pairs from around the world.

My kids are looking forward to the upcoming blizzard for many reasons, one of which is snow ice cream. I only make it when we have a lot of snow, because you want to collect fresh clean snow and it needs to be deep enough that you are just getting snow. Ask your host parents before you try it. I don’t want anyone freaking out.
Here are two recipes I use to make it, depending on what kind of milk I have on hand.
Snow Ice Cream Recipe #1
8 cups of fresh clean snow
1 (14oz) can of sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Combine in a large bowl and enjoy.
Snow Ice Cream Recipe #2
8 cups of fresh clean snow 1/2 cup of evaporated milk (or regular milk) 1/4 cup sugar 1 tsp vanilla extract
Combine milk, sugar and vanilla extract until sugar is dissolved. Then combine with snow. Enjoy.

Here is a montage created with all the photos my wonderful au pairs sent me. I left my camera in our suite at the hotel when we visited ICE, so I didn’t have any pictures. My au pairs helped me out and sent me a whole lot of nice pictures to post here. Enjoy!
