4th of July Lemonade

Yay for summer!!

 We kicked it of with a 4th of July BBQ. After seeing a post on riches for rags

 I got inspired to make my own version of "the milk bottle". 

Here is what I came up with:

My kids couldn't wait to get their hands on these!

They are pretty simple to make. Just make sure to keep them in a cool place until you are ready to serve them. The white chocolate will melt in the sun and run down your bottles {speaking from experience}.

 Happy Summer !!

Strawberry Shortcake Dessert

My Sister-in-law got me started on this delicious dessert.

 It's yummy!

It a poke cake

{where you poke holes in the cake then pour flavored syrup in them}

Topped with fresh strawberries, cream and a sprinkle of Almond Roca

Perfect for summer!!
