Our favorite home made bug spray/ Camping when you live on a homestead 

I am so thankful to my Heavenly Father that my children were blessed to grow up with animals, playing in the dirt, doing chores in the garden and learning a good work ethic. It seems to be rare these days. Your videos bring me such joy and peace and I reach back to many fond memories of their childhood. And today, they are still such a joy, living their faith, being responsible citizens and having a great love for God and family. It’s so worth it! God bless!

That’s the way life should be lived!🎉

My mind is blown. This explains SOOOOO much with my kids.

Camping with kids is the best! God bless!

Thank you for the bug spray. We need it here.

I have been using Lavender to get mosquitoes at bay, not sure if it repels ticks. But good to know about Lemongrass.

I feel like a blessed member of your family when you take us along on your chores and adventures. 🥰

I’ll have to try that because mosquitoes love me!

Thank you so much for this recipe. I’ll definitely be making it. I didn’t know that citronella does that!

I use cherry almond scent Jergens Lotion it really works!

Another great mosquito repellent recipe is 1 part witch hazel, and 1 part vanilla extract in a spray bottle. You smell great, and won't get bit.

Nice videos, thanks for sharing knowledge 👍 I read that native American people, to repel ticks, mosquitoes etc stop/avoid eating sweet foods (as these make blood more attractive to bugs) and start eating pungent foods, like garlic, sage etc (apparently bugs dislike:)

Popped up in my feed today, the boys look so little here, I know it’s an older video but wow they have grown so much in two years.

Would you like to adopt a 73 year old grandmother from Northern On. Canada?❤️ I’m a born again Christian. Bless your family. Praise God for his abundant mercy. 🙏

Great video! Thanks for sharing that recipe!

Great tip on the eggs!

Thank you for sharing. I love watching your videos and have learned so much.

I've been searching for a non-toxic bug spray! Anxious to try this one out. Thanks for sharing!!

It worked! It's 95 outside, cutting down branches, etc. Then when the dusk comes, look out! We are eaten alive!. I made your mosquito spray, and it worked. I reapplied once because I was sweating so badly. One mosquito got me! I love watching your videos!

Thank you I needed this recipe I need your pan you cook in as well

Thank you for sharing this information! I love how I learn new things when I watch your videos and stories. I will definitely be trying this recipe over the summer! Looks like camping was a success 🙂

This is wonderful. Thank you.

What else would you use besides lemon grass? Lemon grass is not recommended for people with seizures and my son has had a traumatic brain injury so I stay clear of lemongrass. Thank you for the rest of the recipe!

I'll definitely make it my go to bug spray this summer. Thank you🤗

, Ruth Ann I'm new to commenting, but have been following along with you for some time now. Thanks so much for sharing your Christian origin and introduction to your family. The bug spray will definitely be put to good use in our home. ❤your channel...

Loved this video, Ruth! Thanks for the bug repellent recipe. I will definitely be trying it this summer. It looks like you all had a wonderful time camping!

Beautiful!

So Wonderful to get away

❤❤❤❤

Great video! I had so much fun watching it. :) Question: does it have to be lemon grass essential oil or can you use any kind of citrus essential oil?

❤

Where did you find that big cast iron pan?

Any solutions for keeping chiggers off of your pets? My cat goes crazy in the summer from them as well as us. we've tried everything including having our yards maintained but the chiggers are a real problem, to the point that my cat licks and bites so he loses his hair. Vet thinks he upset about something. Nope, this only happens in the summer months.

Odd that beekeepers put lemongrass essential oil in hives to attract bees to colonise it.

🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️

Can you use that on animals also

The plastic straw in the sprayer could be a problem

Have you found it to be a problem with ticks in your area? Even with the use of this spray have you found any on your kids?

Do you have problems with bees and the lemon grass? I hear it is an oil people use to attract bees to a hive?

What is witch hazel?
