It's mid July friends, which means those of us in Florida have been enduring the sweltering heat.
With record high temperatures, I figured there's no better time than right now to share this adorable Lemonade and Lollipop stand I created in collaboration with Hershey's.
We all immediately think of chocolate when we think of Hershey's, right? But did you know Hershey's is also the maker of Jolly Ranchers® (not to mention about 35 other candies which include mints and gum). That's right. I personally didn't realize that myself and when I discovered these Jolly Rancher® Lollipops, well I knew exactly what I wanted to do with them!!
My idea behind creating the Lemonade and Lollipop stand was to inspire it's use for a variety of celebrations. The obvious party idea would be to create this for a Lemonade and Lollipop themed birthday party OR set this up in your neighborhood for your young entrepreneur as a new and improved spin on the classic lemonade stand - like Ella did with her friend.
But what's even better is that this stand would be perfect for any Summertime celebration...pool party, baby shower, family reunion, and how about a back-to-school neighborhood party?
You could even spike the lemonade and invite your girlfriends over for an afternoon of poolside fun.
All you really need is some lemonade, Jolly Rancher® lollipops, napkins and some cups and you've got yourself a lemonade and lollipop stand.
However, in order to make things super cute there were a few special little details I incorporated to make the stand extra adorable for guests and to really showcase the Pink Lemonade flavored Jolly Rancher® Lollipops: a two-tier lollipop cake, lollipop topped cupcakes, crushed lollipop rimmed lemonade glasses, and lollipop stir sticks.

Of course the tiny bows used on the Jolly Rancher® lollipops were a cute way to finish off the cupcakes and tie in the color scheme of the lemonade and lollipop stand.
Tip: I found it easier to tie the ribbons separately and then hot glue them onto the lollipop sticks.
This was a really "sweet" and fun concept to put together and is such a timeless theme.
If you are considering it for your next celebration, stay tuned for the DIY for the Jolly Rancher® Pink Lemonade Lollipop Cake as well as the how-to on the sugar- rimmed glasses.

This is the first Summer ever where I am completely without kids for a small period of time.
Ella is in Illinois with her dad for the next 5 days as they visit her grandparents.
Ema is leaving for Tennessee today with a friend and will be gone for 10 days.
Clara is 20 years old and has her own life and schedule.
So basically...it's just Hamilton and I at home together.
Kind of weird to have such an empty house.
But kind of nice to have some absolute quite time to myself.
Things might get a little crazy on Snap Chat with all of this free-time! *wink*
Not that things aren't already crazy at times over there.
Curious about the "crazy" side of me and my silly sense of humor?
