Summer is almost here and so are those pesky mosquitoes! I am always trying to find more natural ways to repel bugs around my house and I came across this recipe that I love. It's quick, easy and fun to do with the kids/grandkids! They not only work to repel mosquitoes but also double as cute outdoor decor. :) Enjoy!
