Lime and Love
As the Summer months bring in the warmth of the sun, the smell of lime blossoms on the tree, our senses acknowledge the celebration that’s brewing. We finally get to adopt a child we have known and loved for 4 years!
Pondering the most appropriate and widely enjoyed healthier treats; popsicles are chosen pretty quickly. And since our ever-bearing lime tree is loaded with fruit, the juicing begins.

As friends come over to celebrate with us in our yard, we want to share a refreshing treat for everyone. The court adoption proceedings go well and the judge is super nice in the ceremony. We have a large gathering of friends and family and a few are coming back home with us to hang out in the yard.
The day before we made these wonderful lime and coconut popsicles in preparation for fun out in the sun. Attempting to make our limeade pops a little more creamy, we hoped some coconut would do the job.
Thankfully, we all enjoy the treats. We hope you enjoy them too.

It is intentional that I find ways to have fun with the family while maintaining healthy options.
Now we are trying to help more kids eat well and have fun getting messy in the kitchen. Here’s how and why.
