*Caution, affiliate links ahead…Don’t worry, I’ll use the money for something practical, like wine…. or a pony!
Can you hear summer calling your name? It’s right around the corner and along with it comes back yard BBQs, picnics and lazy afternoons lounging outside. I love, love, love summer and all the fun that comes with it!
One of my favorite summer traditions is making this refreshing strawberry lemonade for my family to enjoy on warm summer afternoons.
It is the perfect summer time treat and is always a hit. Best part is that it’s super easy to make!
