      I have a lot of respect for parents who homeschool. It is a lot of work but it is worth it. 🙂

      I think I'm going to be making some myself. Jamie sure did a great job with a classic drink that almost everyone loves. Yum! Enjoy and have fun with your friends.

      I just made this recipe, but when I went to grab the lemon juice out of the fridge I noticed that I had lime juice and some cherry juice next to it! So I replaced about a half cup of water with cherry juice, and substituted lime juice for lemon - and it was SO good! So if you want to switch it up a bit you can make cherry limeade! 🙂
