Make it a Magical Summer
A
s the saying goes, when life gives you lemons, make lemonade. After the bummers of the last few summers, we definitely have a bunch of lemons to turn into something magical for the kids this summer. So, we thought, why not mix up a little secret summer learning to combat the dreaded brain drain, along with a refreshing summer drink. It’s perfect whether you are celebrating Pride month, Juneteenth, Mother’s and Father’s Day, or National Eat What You Want Day (It’s May 11 so go ahead and treat yourself!). For those keeping track, National Lemonade Day falls on May 1, so let the kids set up those lemonade stands and learn a little about being an entrepreneur, too. Staff Photographer and Graphic Designer Lauren Jeziorski turned her kitchen into our unofficial test kitchen. Lauren, a pretty awesome mom of one, whipped up a tart magical summer drink we’re calling Magical Mermaid Lemonade. It’s a color-changing lemonade that sneaks in a science lesson about mixing colors and the changing state of molecules. Kids will love seeing the “magical” change as the ice cubes melt and you’ll love their sweet smiles. Cheers to summer!
