Life on the homestead teaches you to appreciate the little things—the quiet moments, a well-tended garden, a full pantry, and sometimes… the perfect ice.

This Mother’s Day, my daughter absolutely nailed it. She knows how much I adore pellet ice—you know, that delightfully crunchy kind that turns an ordinary drink into a small celebration. I’ve mentioned it more times than I probably should admit, especially when sipping a good fountain soda after a long day outside.

So this year, she surprised me with something that made my heart melt—a Frigidaire Countertop Nugget Ice Maker. Not only did she let me pick out the model (you know how picky us homesteaders can be about our gear), but it was a breeze to set up. And let me tell you, the ice is perfect. Cold, crunchy, and ready for those porch-sitting, lemonade-sipping afternoons.

Sometimes, it really is the simplest things that bring the most joy.
