Lemon Aid – Recipe by my 12 year old.
My oldest has always loved coming into the kitchen and experimenting with recipes and making delicious food and drinks.

Thankfully I could see how much she had dumped in, decided it wasn’t a big deal, let it go and the bread was fine! If your kids are anything like mine, they beg to help in the kitchen.

A few weeks ago, I looked around my living room and kitchen…and uuuhhhgggg…the clutter and mess bombarded my brain and my spirits sunk. This wasn’t an unfamiliar feeling.
