Summer days with Bailey Grace Lovelies and a give-a-way

What is your summer like so far? The kids and I have been taking it easy, and waiting for the arrival of our new little sweet pea. I still have 3 weeks, in the mean time we have visited the beach and enjoyed the sun (when it's not raining). Did find a new discovery that I am head over heels over. Let me introduce you

This my lovelies is the Starbucks Passion Tea Lemonade....where have you been all my life. I dare say I love it far above coffee (that's huge) but oh my it's fantastic. So of course I don't have time to keep running to Starbucks (nor the funds) with 4 soon to be 5 kids. I have come up with the recipe and now can make it in abundance in my home. Of course I share so here it is.

Copycat Recipe: Starbucks Iced Passion Tea Lemonade...I use Simply Lemonade

Tazo Iced Passion Tea

1 Cup Sugar

Instructions

1. Brew 1 quart of water in a Dutch Oven over high heat until boiling. Add one bag of Iced Passion Tea and remove from heat.
2. Let brew for about 5 minutes. Remove tea bag and let the tea cool.
3. Add 1 1/3 cup of lemonade
4. Add 1/3 cup simple syrup*
5. Serve over ice. At Starbucks they shake the heck out of it in a shaker. You can do the same if you have a plastic Starbucks reusable cup. Just pull the straw out and put your finger over the hole.
6. To make the simple syrup: Add one cup of sugar to one cup of water in a saucepan over medium high heat. Stir until all the sugar dissolves. Reduce heat and let simmer about 10 minutes. Add to jar and let cool.

Tada...yummy, delish and refreshing.

I also wanted to share a picture of some super cute kids

I make everything by hand and love making them with a passion. Along with my jewelry I will be sharing glimpses into my life in between being pregnant with our 5th baby due in 4 1/2 weeks (come on July) Home-schooling the rest of my crew in order Colby (8), Jenna (6) Sadie (4) and Asher (2), taking care of my house, which sometimes seems impossible, but we press on, and being the awesome wife to Mr. Hot Hubby, it's a tough job but some one's got to do it. So visit, read, browse, and possibly shop and enjoy. Here are some pictures a modge podge of things, my family, my jewelry and I will leave the link in case you feel inspired to I don't know shop.
