Slurpee Recipe (Blue Raspberry Lemonade)
Chilly drinks are always a must for the hot summer months. After having some kidlet company over this last week. Two out of three triplets in addition to my own son. I instantly realized that it's not only my son that is constantly bored, but in fact most kids get bored with too much time on their hands and no homework.
They need constant direction, engagement and activities to keep their precious little minds busy. To break up the monotony, it doesn't hurt to serve them up something a little special every now and then such as this Blue Raspberry Lemonade Slurpee. I can almost guarantee that they'll snap out of their summer stupor when you hand them this fun and colorful drink. But be warned, after possible brain freeze, they will be bored within minutes of their last sip. That's pretty much guaranteed.

Now that I'm older, I really don't remember being bored much as a kid. Although, my mother assures me that I often was. It's hard to relate to what it feels like to be bored as an adult. I always have a list of at least thirty things to do at one time. I WISH I could feel bored again! I'll have to work on that!
Have kids? What are you doing to fight boredom this summer?
My husband loves any drink that is blue! Even though my son can't have this drink yet - I might look into making one for us adults!
My girls are slurpee obsessed. I will be making this for them.
Kidlet!! I love that word LOL
That looks refreshing, and a bit 'electric'... I'd drink it!
Most definately yours is not the only 1 bored! I have a feeling a lot of mom's are saying that 😉
Oh girl, that looks so refreshing and the blue color makes me want to dive in. Let's not make them for the kids; let's make them for US!
That drink looks delicious and I love the colour. I bet it is a very refreshing summer drink. Thanks for sharing the recipe. I pinned it as well.
I didn't realize how easy slurpees are to make a home!!! I remember being bored as a kid, I just wish it would happen now as an adult never seems to be a dull minute!
This looks amazing! I've never made a slurpee myself!
