Tip #4 – The Curb Appeal: Personally, my idea of a cute lemonade stand is a card table, a tupperware pitcher of the refreshing yellow drink, and a kid-drawn poster with the ‘e’ of lemonade written backwards.
But there’s no denying the eye-catching draw of this Vintage Lemonade Stand (with a great tutorial) by Lil’ Luna.
If your Happy Hubby is itching to get his hands dirty with a project, sign him up for this one! Now the whole family is involved!

Did you know some cities have “Lemonade Day”? Ours is in May, and there are lemonade stands all over the city! You would seriously love it. Lemonadeday.org has a list of cities, and a printable business plan for kids to learn about budgeting and other business skills! And a lot of the kids here give to charities. Cool idea!
That is so sweet and FUN!!!!!
