mosquito repelent

the other night after it finally stopped raining we were so happy to be outside enjoying the beautiful weather.  but...  it was only a matter of time before we were driven in by pesky mosquito's. 

not sure if this remedy works as i haven't yet tried it myself,  but it sure sounded worth a try.

time to fight back on the  mosquito invasions. ;-) 
here's an easy pleasant repellent recipe you can make at home: 

combine in a 16 oz bottle:

15 drops lavender oil
3-4 Tbsp of vanilla extract
1/4 Cup lemon juice.fill bottle with water. shake.  ready to use.  make some extra to gift to your family and friends.

share this on your wall so you'll have it handy when it's needed.
