I am a homeschooling SAHM who helps her dearly beloved husband run his business, train his arrows, and serve his Lord. Our business involves each member of our family--we make and sell bath/body products, hand crafted items, and baked goods along with fruits and produce. I have many interests and will probably cover most of them at some point or another. :)

Bug No More Bars
It's getting to be mosquito and bug season here in the deep South. The only way to enjoy the great outdoors is to keep those pesky creatures from coming around. I'm not fond of products with DEET, so after doing a bit of research, I came up with my own recipe for a solid bar of bug repellent.
I use coconut oil, beeswax, and shea butter. First I infuse my coconut oil with a variety of herbs that repel bugs, then strain it. I also add vitamin e oil and some essential oils. I pour it into my molds, let harden, then we use the solid bars to rub on our skin when we will be outdoors.
I also sell these through my husband's business.
It really does help!
