This tick spray contains an essential oil that one study showed was comparable to DEET in repelling ticks. It's safe for kids over two and pregnant/nursing mamas. Although I don’t apply bug spray directly on my kids skin when they're younger than two, I do spray their clothes when we are going to be in an area that has lots of bugs. #diybugspray #diyinsectrepellant #dogfleapowder #mommypotamus #crunchy #naturalhealth

How To Make Sore Throat Soother Tea

Throat Coat Tea is good stuff, and I highly recommend it if you don’t want to DIY. However, I like the marshmallow root/slippery elm bark (the herbs that coat the throat) component of my tea to be a bit stronger, and I also enjoy playing with the flavor. This recipe not only incorporates herbs that coat and protect an irritated throat - it works well for tummy aches, too! #naturalremedies #diyremedies #mommypotamus
