It’s official! My twins graduated kindergarten! I still can’t believe it! Their little graduation ceremony was the cutest thing ever. They wore caps and sung about going to first grade. It was too cute!

Yesterday was their first full day of summer vacation! Of course they were up earlier than I expected. I thought for sure they’d sleep in. On school days they don’t want to get up and I’m usually dragging them out of bed. Now that school is out they are waking me up. Go figure!

One of the things on our summer bucket list is to go strawberry picking. It’s something we enjoy doing every year. My kids were anxious to go strawberry picking and the weather yesterday was perfect for it so we headed out to one of our favorite places to pick fresh strawberries. There’s nothing better than a freshly picked strawberry. Every time I find a good one I can’t help to eat it. They’re so fresh and juicy! I resisted to eat too many and encouraged my kids to do the same so we can have some to take home to enjoy.

On our way home I asked my kids what they wanted to make with our basket of strawberries. I heard everything from ice cream to pie and of course jam. When we got home I washed and hulled these luscious berries. I macerated a pound of strawberries which I love to have with yogurt, ice cream or topped on one of my absolute favorite summer desserts, strawberry shortcake. Macerated strawberries is so simple. I just mix about 2 tablespoons of sugar with a pound of sliced strawberries. I let it sit out on the counter for about 30 minutes before I cover in cover and store in the refrigerator.
