The family tradition started in elementary school. “Every single night, my mom gave us ice cream,” Stacia recalls. “Just a treat after dinner. My mom still does this, whenever I go visit.” Two scoops as a kid, not any particular brand or taste, though she does prefer chocolate.
Stacia acknowledges that was not the healthiest habit, but she says she was a very active child, playing outside alongside neighbors in Norwood, just west of Chaska. “We would explore, bike around town and make forts,” Stacia says. “During the summer, we were always spending quality time at the pool in town.”
Stacia who is a mother now herself, says she no longer indulges in ice cream daily, but her mother has extended the frozen treat tradition to Stacia’s son. “He spends a lot of time with my parents,” Stacia says. “I feel guilty, so we don’t have it every day, but we still enjoy it plenty of nights.”
On Mondays or Tuesdays, Stacia takes her son to Culver’s, where she enjoys a chocolate Oreo or chocolate peanut butter Concrete Mixer. Pretty much any flavor tastes amazing. Eating ice cream is a good stress reliever, and it’s good for my soul.”
