Spectacular Strawberry Lemonade


This recipe is one that I came across for the Fourth of July. I took it to the next level!

1 cup of water
mixed with 1 cup of sugar
-bring this to a boil in a small sauce pan-
While the water and sugar combo is coming to a boil, squeeze some lemons! ^-^ About 5 or 6 lemons (or enough to give you 1 cup of lemon juice)
Get a pitcher and fill it with ice (to the top, it will melt down when you put the boiling sugar water in it)
Put the lemon juice in the pitcher
Put the hot sugar-water mixture in the pitcher
And now you will need to put 2-3 cups of cold water into that.
-This is to dilute it a bit, the lemon and sugar-water are very strong and sweet by themselves X-o (thats supposed to be a sour face)-
mix together and refrigerate


Poor yourself a glass (make it the fanciest glass you have, just for the fun of it)
Cut up one or two big strawberries and just let them sit in your lemonade for a little bit until it starts to turn pink.



And enjoy! :D

-Happy Bellies-

That mom life, Yo!

So in the past month I have officially become a mother of two.  Our beautiful baby girl is no longer a baby and will be three years old come November.  Our newest of kin is a wonderful little baby boy and is officially one month old as of today. Now this last month has been anything but easy, and equally as wonderful.  Which to anyone who doesn't have kids would never understand.  Our newest little bundle does not often cry and sleeps a lot, which we are so grateful for.  But the regressions that our girl is going through, are tough buggers to deal with.  Naps have been absolutely out of question, the sass is strong with that one...The potty training has just been forgotten, and every day we are having at least one accident, simply because she "didn't want to stop playing."  UGH! Even with these tough regressions, I cannot get over how amazing she is with her baby brother.  She loves him and thinks he is the most amazing little creature on the f...

It has been a while...

  While I sit here at home trying to keep a two-and-a-half year old occupied, as she resists her nap, I struggle with the 20+ extra pounds hanging around my 37-weeks-of-pregnant-stomach...why not get back on the blog action.  After not sleeping from all of the lovely symptoms and struggles of being so huge and pregnant, I offered up some of my limited morning time this week to continue work at a summer daycare in town (and heck, why not?...we could use the money).   Exhausted after chasing after 35 kids this morning, I come home to a semi-functioning house where my amazing hubby is doing everything he can to keep his tired eyes open and entertain our beautiful daughter. Both of whom are still in their pajamas, and remnants of a rushed breakfast sit on the coffee table, while a movie plays on the TV.  I wonder, how we will ever survive with another child added to our chaos.   The energy that I have left from the morning goes into picking up the house and runnin...

Modpodge the WORLD!

I LOVE Modpodge! Recently I was sitting with my dear friend Laura, and we were discussing some great crafty ideas to keep us busy. Modpodgeing is an absolute addiction! As I sat and decided what my next adventure with this paste would be, I membered an old pair of work shoes that are just too scummy to wear. What better way to spiff them up than to use Modpodge! I pulled out my newly organized fabric collection and started cutting and piecing together this awesomely colorful shell for a pair of dull old Chucks. I finished one and am thrilled with the outcome! Who needs to spend hundreds on shoes?! These shoes rock my world! I will post a picture as soon as I can sit down and get working on the other one! In the meantime check out the Modpodge blog for more crazy ideas! Www.modpodgerocksblog.com
