BBQ's, Fireworks, Baseball and Lemonade Stands do All-American summers make.
Growing up, I can remember whipping up a batch of lemonade and setting up shop at the end of our street, eagerly awaiting to greet thirsty customers and collect my coins on a hot summer day. It's a quintessential summer memory, and one that I had hoped to share with MM one day.
So when Madeline and her cousins wanted to make their very own stand, I couldn't wait to help them create the perfect one.
Before taking to Pinterest for some DIY inspiration, I turned to my go-to delivery service, Peapod , to order up the essentials in a jiffy. Within 24 hours, our Minute Maid® Lemonade and FUZE® tea were at our doorstep- ready to be transformed into perfectly refreshing drinks to sell. We opted to spice up our beverages with fragrant garnishes- creating a flowery Lemon Honey Lemonade and citrusy Mint Lemon Tea {recipes below}. Both of which were total crowd pleasures, while still being super easy to make as a family.
When creating our stand, I wanted to make it pretty, functional, and simple enough for the kiddos to create. Four wooden crates stacked atop one another created the base- secured with zip ties- while a simple piece of ply wood acted as the counter. We decorated with string, triangle banners, clothes pins, and hand painted signs. And vintage-looking mason jars with paper straws served as our glassware.
And because summer days can make you a bit peckish, we also served up popcorn served in paper cones, made from pretty pineapple printed paper picked up from a local craft shop.
It was a day filled with sunshine, laughter, and lots of delicious Minute Maid + FUZE- and was the perfect way to bond as a family while creating summertime memories they'll cherish forever.

Earlier this week Maddie and I sat down and came up with some ideas for our summer. She’s enrolled in a few camps here and there, but for the most part we don’t have many plans and I’m really looking forward to some quality time together, just us two.
Always one to level up the fun, Maddie suggested we put all of our ideas in a “Summer Bucket List Jar,” and on unscheduled days we will draw from it and let fate decide what we do… Genius!
