We have arrived at the weekend!

Summer is in full swing and summer fun is on the agenda. You might be thinking of heading out to Farmington Lake. Or maybe you're just going to enjoy your family in the backyard, catch a cool evening breeze and watch one of those awesome Farmington NM sunsets.

I hope this weekend rocks for you. If you're like my family, you will be spending a bit more time outside during the weekend.

I want to share this easy to make, natural mosquito repellent.

It's kid-friendly, simple to make and cheap.

Here's how to do it:

• Grab a small spray bottle and fill with water, then add....
• 10 drops of Citronella essential oil
• 10 drops of Lemongrass essential oil
• 10 drops of Tea Tree oil
• 5 drops of Lavender essential oil
• 5 drops of Peppermint essential oil

It's that simple! Be careful not to spray around the face and eyes.
