ABOUT ME

  Welcome to the Lemonade Makin' Mama blog. 

Hello, my name is Sasha and I've been blogging here since 2008.  I didn't start "making lemonade" until the following year. One day, during an especially chaotic Mama moment, I told a friend that, "Life was handing me lemons, and I needed to get them organized before I could make lemonade out of them!" A brand new blog name was born in that moment, and this little site hasn't been the same since.   I am married to my dreamy high school sweetheart. and the mother of two pre-teens.  I adore Jesus and try to follow Him daily in ways that bless others. I believe in deep talks, good cries, and contagious laughter. Stick around here long enough and you might get to experience all of the above...

Around here, you're likely to find a little bit of everything on any given day- creativity, amateur photography, recipes, faith, and real life.  I try to post a minimum of two or three times a week, however, I don't follow any rules but the ones in my heart, so it changes on a whim. 

I love: 

ice water with lemon wedges

polka dots

Though  you may come here for many reasons, I'm praying that your ultimately refreshed by this truth: 

 "But whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life." 

John 4:14
