Alright Abby, lemonade: I promise, it's super easy!

There are 3 ingredients in lemonade:

1. Lemon juice

2. Water

3. Sugar

That's literally it!

You can find recipes that will give you an idea of ratios, but I personally like to wing it depending on how I'm feeling. I usually use less sugar and more lemon juice, because I like it really bitter and I don't like it sweet, but playing with the ratios will give you very different results! So make a few pitchers and see what you like.

I also like to add other things for different flavours. Strawberries are probably my favourite addition, but I know people who add mint, ginger, or even a little bit of cream or milk to make a creamy lemonade! (I don't personally like creamy lemonade, but I know people who swear by it!)

Have fun with it!! Making lemonade is my favourite part of summer!

All great ideas Abby! And I love the style inspo! I’ve been thinking about buying a new dress or two for the summer, so this helps point me in a good direction. 😊

Since I live in MD (all 4 seasons, though the weather can be cranky at times 😆), I have two sets of clothes: summer and winter. So each year, around this time, I’ll spend a weekend afternoon switching out the winter with the summer, and washing everything before wearing it! I also like to look at my wardrobe to see if anything needs to be tossed out and if I need to shop for something new.

Hi Abby, I loved this and it gave me some good ideas for what to do in preparation for summer. I do have one question though, and I apologize if it’s dumb since I am very new here. What time zone is the book club meeting in? I’m in EST, but it didn’t specify. Please let me know (or anyone else if you know), thank you so much!

Love this! Preparing for summer is always one of the biggest parts of the year, especially waaaay up north where I live, where it really means having to change things around and uncover all of the things that have been hidden all winter, put the ice box inside (when it's -40⁰C, the back deck becomes a meat freezer for a while), etc. This year my husband is treating me to a Mani Pedi and a haircut, which is going to be so much fun!
