I have not posted lately because I have been "tweaking" my blog. I am thankful that lots of people are still checking in! I have more to do on my blog but plan to be able to continue posting on a weekly basis. I have a few vacations planned and hope to be able to still blog while I am away.
My first summer vacation is our trip to Maine to visit my husband's cousins, Linda and Larry. We are really looking forward to this trip but we are not looking forward to the mosquitoes! It is like they swarm in a circle waiting for you to go outside and then attack like party crashers at a buffet! We have to cover ourselves in bug spray and walk around smelling like a can of OFF. This year I did some research and found a insect repellent. I adapted the recipe to make it our own. I usually try out a recipe or craft before I post. This time I decided to write about it and let you tune in next week to see how it works. Here is a picture of the view from their home and the recipe follows. Wish me luck!
