Yes, fall is *finally* around the corner, but it’s still HOT where I live, what about you? Plus, I’ve got one of those kids who wants to be outside “enjoying” this weather which is just not my favorite, haha.

Since my oldest son has some food allergies it’s not easy to just grab a box of frozen pops from the store without meticulously checking ingredients, calling the manufacturer, etc. It’s a whole thing.

Food allergies or not, these strawberry lemonade frozen pops are going to be a big hit with everyone who tries them! This is the type of recipe that kids might want to help with so get them in on the action too.
