It's been a crazy August so far!
Has it been for you too.....or is it just us?
Yesterday marked our oldest's Last First Day of High School (1 in school, 3 to go). Yup. That's right. We have a senior. He had his senior portraits taken last Saturday, which was a trip.
I just can't believe that we are where we are.
This year will mark a lot of lasts for him and us, which is kinda sad. I already warned him that I will be doing a lot of on and off crying this year so he just needs to get used to it.
I have a sneaking suspicion he already knew that though.

National Lemonade Day is this Saturday, August 20th!
I tell you, I have learned about more "National something or another Day's" ever since I started this blog.
Who knew there were SO MANY!

I was sent a couple recipes and photos of cocktails that the Hard Rock Cafe will be serving nationwide on National Lemonade Day. I was given permission to share them with you and wanted to make one of them to tell you about as well.
Only problem was that I couldn't find the "exact" ingredients that each cocktail had.........so I improvised.
Now I don't have the cute Hard Rock Cafe mason jars they use, but I do have my own!
You can buy your own mason jars on amazon.....which I should have known, as they seem to sell everything!!

Aren't those pinwheel paper straws cute! I just love the dollar section at Target, you never know what you'll find there!!
