Summer is in full swing here. It’s hit the 90’s in West Virginia, and I’m loving it! The first week of summer has been a blur of activities for us. Between doctor check ups, sleepovers, late nights, summer camp preparation – which resulted in lots of laundry – and getting ready for my mom to visit for a week, it’s been hard to binge watch “Orange is the New Black”. I have some time in the evenings to watch it, but with the kid out of school, it’s not exactly a show I want to have on when she’s home… #MomProblems.
With this summer heat kicking in, I’m ready for a Citrus Explosion! Here’s a bunch of awesome Lemon, Lime, and Orange Recipes and DIY projects for you to try out. They’re perfect to cool you down this summer and great options to brighten things up in the winter, too.
