Valentine's Day Sparkling Fruit Punch

The rest of D.C. appears to be going to hell in a hand basket, but love is still in the air over at Chez Green. The kids are drawing up DIY valentines, writing cards to each other, and Cam voluntarily donned hot pink (gasp!) for our Sparkling Fruit Punch post. Head over to Honest to Nod for the sweet (but not sugary!) details on this holiday drink. 

Kid-friendly Bubble Tea!

My gosh, my kids have been eating A LOT lately -- both in terms of frequency and amount. And having them home for the summer has meant an endless cycle of meals and snacks, with a peppering of requests for sweets and treats at every turn (how does that Ice Cream truck do it!?!). Needless to say, I've been on the hunt for healthy and fun snacks and this bubble tea did the trick. Head on over to Honest to Nod to get the goods! 

Watermelon Chia Agua Fresca

The warm weather has finally arrived in D.C. and we've been dreaming up activities in anticipation of summer! High up on the kids' list is a "fancy" drink stand, complete with special lemonade and a selection of agua frescas (a deliciously thrist-quenching Mexican drink we often purchase from our local farmer's market). To get ready, we've been trying out several different recipes and I think we found a hit: Watermelon Chia Agua Fresca!

New Year's Eve Kiddie Cocktails

As you might have noticed in our recent New Year's Eve Party Animal post, we love to party on in the new year. And what better way to do that than to whip up some festive kiddie cocktails?! From the simple to the more elaborate, we've rounded up fabulous mocktails to celebrate this New Year's Eve!

1 / I'd love to start off a party with a "confetti bar" and let the kids mix up their own sparkly concoction. Obviously not drinkable, but super festive.

2 / Cannot go wrong with a classic Shirley Temple. I finally let our kids try these recently and they are now obsessed!

3 / My guys always love cotton candy + lemonade. Try it with sparkling lemonade for a bubbly twist and make a rainbow of colors!

4 / Super sweet rock candy and gummy bears mixed with sparkling apple juice makes another pretty array of colors.

5 / Round out the night with a fun glass of sprinkled milk!
