5 easy and kid-friendly mocktails

After hearing "mommy I'm bored" for about the seventh time in one day, I knew I had to get creative. So I managed to pull together some random ingredients in the kitchen, and add a few to my weekly grocery list. It was an easy, engaging, and refreshing way to keep my daughter busy, while also teaching her about measurements and mixing. Enjoy! :)
