Summer treat…all natural fruit popsicle ideas!

All Natural Fruit Popsicle Recipes!

Hello Picket Fencers this is Angelina from JoJo and Eloise. I am so excited to be here again sharing some Summer Fun with you.

Summer was always my favorite time of year when I was a kid, as I am sure I am not alone in this. It meant time away from school, family vacations, staying up late and sleeping in. All of which I would LOVE to do on a daily basis, even still today.

However some things have changed as I’ve gotten older.

Like SADLY realizing that SUGAR is not my BFF ( though I wish it was ).

For about 9yrs now our family has been eating an Organic lifestyle, we have just recently gone Gluten and Grain Free as well.

I LOVE that our kids are very conscientious about their Health and the foods that they choose to eat.

However getting there wasn’t easy. It took a lot of teaching and playing around with different ingredients and recipes but I am thankful we had willing participants.

Now!!! Our Kids are the ones more on top of it then even my Husband and I. ( Seriously )

One of our kids favorite things to make is, POPSICLES!!  They LOVE using all natural fresh ingredients and coming up with new ways to make things exciting.

But what they LOVE best is, knowing what ingredients are inside their popsicles.

Making Homemade Popsicles doesn’t have to be FANCY and you certainly don’t need a SPECIAL machine or gadget. We picked up some Super Cute, Classic Popsicle molds at JoAnn’s, you could even use Dixie Cups with a good old fashioned Popsicle Stick.

We find that Watermelon provides the PERFECT fruit and juice to fill our molds with.

Using Fruit that is in Season is always best. It not only is more plentiful but also less expensive. We often times pre-cut our fruit into bite size pieces and freeze them for snacks or to add into our popsicles molds at a later date.

We LOVE using the Seeded watermelons.. Our kids think they look OLD FASHIONED.LOL!!! Who would of ever thought a Seeded Watermelon would be considered Old Fashioned.

Popsicle making tends to get a little bit messy in our house.. But the kids LOVE it and they have so much fun being in charge of making their treats.

    Angelina! The popsciles sound so yummy and my kids are absolutely popsicle crazy these days so this is perfect timing! I’ve been weeding out a lot of gluten in my diet and even some dairy too and definitely feel better. Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful photos (and your beautiful kiddos!) with us here!

      Thank you so much Vanessa. It is Amazing how much better you feel when you cut those things out. We also don’t use any refined Sugars (even Organic ones) we Sweeten everything with Honey and Occasionally Organic Maple Syrup. Thank you again for having me 🙂

I just went to make my mid-morning protein shake a I just went to make my mid-morning protein shake and grabbed a banana out of the freezer and was about to put it into my shake before I realized it was a frozen egg roll. Sooooo that's how my day is going so far! 🤪How about you?

It's honestly fairly representative of my state of mind these days as I can't seem to make the date on the calendar match the date in my spirit because it feels like it should be January 45th. Every year this month drags on and every year it seems to surprise me for some reason. In addition, my heart just feels heavy as I witness a lot of darkness and sadness around me. So, I'm choosing to control what I can control by making my house feel as cozy as possible, relishing the sunshine whenever it dares to peek through the clouds, gathering inspiration for warmer weather projects and, most importantly, resting in the comfort of the sovereignty of my Father.

“God’s voice thunders in marvelous ways; he does great things beyond our understanding. He says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth,’ and to the rain shower, ‘Be a mighty downpour.’ So that everyone he has made may know his work..." Job 37:5-7
What if you could do something at the beginning of What if you could do something at the beginning of your day that would be a gift to yourself later on? That’s what we’re talking about on this week’s Tip Tuesday! #tiptuesday
The sun decided to make another appearance today! The sun decided to make another appearance today! It’s been such a lovely Sunday. Chocolate croissants for breakfast followed by church then naps/football/reading/etc and soon we’ll be heading out to dinner with friends. These are my favorite kind of weekends. Hope yours has been lovely too! 🌿
Yesterday was stormy and cold but today the sunshi Yesterday was stormy and cold but today the sunshine is breaking through the fog and my house just seems happier. We definitely needed to see that light streaming in through the windows and it’s a gift I don’t take for granted.

And yes, there are still twinkle lights on my mantle because those help when the sunshine goes away again. ✨
Happy weekend! The rainy and gloomy weather here i Happy weekend! The rainy and gloomy weather here in the Willamette Valley has me feeling less frustrated about my migraine forcing me to just snuggle up indoors and these flowers in my kitchen are lifting my spirits. What are you up to on this holiday weekend?
It’s time for TIP TUESDAY! This week, I’m offe It’s time for TIP TUESDAY! This week, I’m offering a gentle reminder from my own parenting experience after feeling my heart pricked with conviction about what was waiting for my daughter every day after school. I hope it will encourage you! 🌿#tiptuesday
The day after Christmas I found myself laundering The day after Christmas I found myself laundering and folding all of the linens we used the previous night as we hosted my husband's side of the family for dinner and other festivities. As I laid out each cloth napkin and folded them one by one, I couldn't help but be struck by what a simple, yet meaningful, task it was. It's such an honor and privilege to be the hostess and, at this stage of my life, I realize that this has almost one hundred percent become my role now. Our parents are in their 70's and have either downsized significantly or simply don't have the energy to take on hosting duties for a large group. I could resent this. I could feel overwhelmed by it. But, instead, I'm choosing to embrace it knowing that, someday, I too will pass the hosting torch and I hope that I will be welcomed with love and attentiveness. So, I fold the linen napkins, taking pleasure in the way all of the creases line up and how neat and tidy they look in the drawer of my dining room buffet. These seemingly simple chores are part of the lifeblood of homemaking and my attitude towards them can either be one of gratefulness or grumbly-ness (yes, I'm making up words now). 

And I’m choosing gratefulness. 

“This job has been given to me to do. Therefore, it is a gift. Therefore, it is a privilege. Therefore, it is an offering I may make to God. Therefore, it is to be done gladly, if it is done for Him. Here, not somewhere else, I may learn God’s way. In this job, not in some other, God looks for faithfulness.” (Elisabeth Elliot⁣)
Welcome to Tip Tuesday! I’m so excited to be kic Welcome to Tip Tuesday! I’m so excited to be kicking off the year with a brand new series! Each weekly installment will feature a tip for everything from your home to faith to parenting to family life and so much more. My goal for 2023 is to have far more personal interaction with this community while continuing on with the mission of weaving together all things heart and home. I hope you enjoy this first tip and I’d love to hear from you about whether or not you decorate for winter!

“He has made everything beautiful in its time. H “He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.” 

Here’s to beginnings. Happy new year friends! May you experience the majesty and sovereignty of the Lord in 2023 like never before! ✨
Oh how I love this week each year! It’s my favor Oh how I love this week each year! It’s my favorite for sure. Everything is still festive and decorated but there’s none of the stress of the cooking and wrapping and making preparations. It’s the week where we get to take everything slowly and simply enjoy being together while the house still has twinkling lights and we can just be cozy.

What about you? How will you be spending this week? ✨
