Homemade Frozen Lemonade Recipe
One Spring during my college years I lived in Portugal and we had the most glorious lemon tree out our front door. Our hosts told us we could pick as many as we would like...and little did they know, we girls could drink a lot of freshly made lemonade.

So many of them are masters in the art of sewing and well, we are just two moms who love to sew. And truthfully we were more than a bit scared to even be in the same room and introduce ...
