Plus, who doesn’t love a refreshing float recipe?! There is just something wonderful about being with friends and family during the summertime and enjoying treats like this. I love spending time with my nephews and niece and just enjoying really good quality time with them. I am blessed to live close to family and see them on a regular basis!

Here are some of the other ways I was able to enjoy the Sparkling Flavored Water! I Love these EASY recipes that are perfect for on the go! My life seems to get a little busy and crazy most of the time. I jump from job to job and don’t always take the time to relax. One of my favorite things to do in the summer is spend time in the pool! I love having friends and family over to my parents house and just leaving the cell phones inside. We can chill at the pool for hours and enjoy quality time and deep conversations. One of my favorite people to go to the pool with is my best friend, Amy! It is our special time to connect all year. Every winter we long for the summer months to come around because that is when we are able to spend the most quality time together. We can grab a cold drink, lay by the pool, and relax in the water. It is a great way to talk about life and everything going on without the distractions of technology and life. We can spend hours talking, laughing, and enjoying the simple life.

This Mandarin Orange Flavored Water was a perfect poolside drink to share with Amy! Plus, since there are 0 calories and 0 sodium it really is a guilt-free treat! I am so thankful for these slow moments of life to take them in and enjoy them! Amy is getting married soon, so I am really thankful to have this time to spend with her and plan a WEDDING!

Another one of my favorite things to do in my free time is to work out! I love taking barre classes and Pilates! I also enjoy working out is taking long walks with friends around our city lake! It’s about a 5.5 mile walk, and I just enjoy that time to catch up with friends or my mentor! I feel like I am able to get a good workout in PLUS some great quality time with a friend. During our walks we talk about life, God, relationships, and are just able to enjoy the company! This Lemon Lime Sparkling Water is a nice and refreshing post-workout beverage no matter what the workout may be!

Time with my nephews and niece is becoming more and more important to me. I am starting to realize that they will only be little for so long, and that they are growing so fast! I am trying to soak in all of the time that I can with them and enjoy the little moments! I was able to share these DIY Homemade Lemon Lime Popsicles with them this week! These are SUPER easy with popsicle sticks and paper cups! These were a hit with my niece and nephew, and I think they loved that they were homemade! This is my niece, Hailey. She loved the ice pops and taking them out of the paper cup! This girl is such a blessing to me in my life, and I like to call her my mini-me! 🙂

Finally, check out this super cute gift basket for one of my friends who I just wanted to do something special for! My friend Maggie is one of my dance students and co-teacher! She is amazing and always goes above and beyond anything I ever ask her to do! She is so special to me and helps keep me on track! She is loved by so many and a great role model for our dancers! I wanted to do something special for her before we start another year of dance to show her how much she is loved! I am excited for how this turned out, and I can’t wait to give it to her!
