Kids playing and bugs bitting in the forecast!

As we speak, there are 5 boys running around sword fighting and screaming. Last night these kids stayed outside until 8 pm. I am so happy it is Spring! I love lazy evenings outside while the kids run around.

There is nothing better than being outside with the sounds of kids playing (with a glass of wine), dogs barking, music on the speaker and the smell of charcoal from the grill. I wish it was 75 degrees everyday.Today was beautiful. It was a great reminder to be grateful for all we have. It is so easily lost with the chaos of life.

I am going to enjoy every damn minute outside before it is 100 million degrees outside! Texas Heat is no joke!

Speaking of outside... living in Texas means bugs and mosquitoes! I hate those blood sucking things. If you find your kiddo (or you) has been bitten, try putting Lavender essential oil on the bite. It helps soothe, and you can apply Lavender directly and neat on the bite. Peppermint is also good for cooling (use carrier oil), and Tea Tree (use carrier oil) is good for swelling with it's anti-inflammatory properties.

If you are feeling like Pinterest Mom, below is the recipe. Or if you are feeling like "Hell No Too Busy Mom" then you can just buy one from my online shop.
