Summer Olympics

I am loving watching the summer olympics in Rio this past week. My favorite sports to watch are of course women's gymnastics, swimming (all sorts), sand volleyball and tennis. It's been a real treat to watch these athletes compete almost every night on NBC prime time. But what I'm really loving is following the olympics in social media like Instagram (@nbcolympics) and snap chat! Their stories and memes are absolutely the best! They give highlights and thoughts every normal person has during the course of watching someone complete a triple flip, full twisting layout. 

I'm excited to watch again tonight and GO USA! 

Lazy Weekends

Lazy weekends are my absolute FAVE! I love lounging and cuddling and taking naps. This weekend we started off a little shakey with an early appointment at the clinic and a prescription for antibiotics to fight off an ear infection. But a lazy weekend was just what the doctor ordered! 

Essential Oil Bug Spray

I heard some mom friends talk about making their own bug repellent sans harmful chemicals to use on their babies. I had to jump on the bandwagon since I am a fan of essential oils right now and decided to try my own homemade recipe. I purchased citronella, patchouli and lemongrass all great mosquito and gnat repellents. 

In a small 3oz spray bottle I mixed 2oz distilled water, 1 oz witch hazel and the following essential oils.  

20 drops purification 

10 drops citronella 

3 drops lavender

3 drops patchouli

3 drops lemon grass 

We used our home made mix at the softball fields last night while we watched Kyle play outfield and it kept all the pesty bugs away! And it smelt great!
