Mosquitno BandZzz Really Work To Keep Mosquitoes Away!!

Getting Ready to go outside with his Mosquitno Spotz.

These have got to be the best item that I have ever tried. They really do keep the mosquitoes away!! They last a long time also. Mosquitno BandZzz are a really ingenious way to keep the pest away.They are a silicone rubber that is infused with an all-natural and pleasant smelling citronella oil. It will keep the mosquitoes, flies, gnats, and other flying insects away from you without being a bad thing to put on your children. Great for adults, too.

The Mosquitno Bandz last for a long time! You take it off when you come in and seal them back up in their baggie. They last up to 150 hours. The Spotz last up to 72 hours and you can also reuse them to if you seal them up in an air tight baggie. I love this idea. I have always hated the idea of spraying poison on us all to be able to go out at night. We usually would just end up never going out at night during the summer. With these we have been going out at night. Had a ton of fun setting off fireworks on the 4th of July and we have filled a few jars with lightning bugs! It is great knowing that we are using something that is safe for all of us. The citronella oil is safe for children to use.

Hunting Lightning Bugs With Glow In The dark Mosquitno Bandz!

These are a great thing to have if you love the outdoors. Go camping and have these to make your camping experience a lot more enjoyable. No nasty and itchy bites making you miserable.  Great for the whole family. Safe for you and works awesome. I know that we will be buying more of these and want to add a few to our bug-out bags. It would even be a good idea to keep some in the car to always have them on hand when you need them. You never know when you might be out somewhere are night in the summer and don't want to fight the nasty bugs! Anyone that enjoys the outdoors has to get some Mosquitno Bandz or Spotz!


Disclosure of Material Connection: I received Mosquitno BandZzz for free from Mosquitno BandZzz as coordinated by Deep Creek PR an Outdoor Industry Public Relations Company in consideration for review publication.

Food Storage Recipe - Baking Powder Biscuits

I think that my families favorite breakfast has got to be biscuits and gravy.  I have refused to buy any package biscuits in a while since they have raised the price to over a dollar for one pack of them. Ridiculous!! Food prices are just going crazy. So, here is an easy and frugal recipe for making your own biscuits.

Baking Powder Biscuits

2 cups of flour

3 teaspoons of baking powder

1/2 teaspoon of salt

4 tablespoon of oil

2/3 cup of milk

Sift the flour, salt, and baking powder together. Add the oil and mix this until it is crumbly. Add the milk and mix until it is mixed together well. Put on a lightly floured surface and roll out to about a half inch thick. Cut them out with a round cookie cutter or glass - I had to use my heart cookie cutter because I couldn't find my biscuit one. Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet at 450 degrees for about 12 - 15 minutes. 

We just ate ours with one of those package country mixes this time. Hubby is the master of making sausage and gravy and he wasn't home. 

 

Cooking with Edible Flowers

Cooking with Edible Flowers: Storey Country Wisdom Bulletin A-223 is a much needed book. We all need to learn how to cook with and eat edible flowers. You never know when you might be in a situation where that is all that you have to eat!

There are now more than 170 titles in this series, and their remarkable popularity reflects the common desire of country and city dwellers alike to cultivate personal independence in everyday life.

Been So Busy

We have been so busy this past 2 weeks getting everything prepared and ready for homschooling this year. Have the extra bedroom all cleaned out to get it all set up. Have chalkboards, magnet boards, white boards, and bulletin boards ready to be hung. Books bought. Art supplies. Games. And tons of paper. My printer has been running non-stop printing out worksheets! So busy, but almost ready to start. The actual public school year starts on about August 11th here so I want to start around that time.

Anyone else homeschool and getting busy with all of the preps???

Prepper Beginner's Guide: How To Prep Your Ultimate Bug Out Bag for Disaster Survival was free when I wrote this post.

 How safe do you consider yourself in this ever changing world? With our limited understanding of how things work, whether in the natural world OR in human society alike, we can only predict a limited amount of disasters. But that does not mean we have to face them unprepared.

This guide was created to help you put together the ultimate survival bag or Bug out Bag (BOB) for when events get out of hand and you need to make your escape to a safer area (OR you just want to try your hand at survival camping for a few days).

The booklet is based on the personal experiences of a climbing and survival expert, and it is designed to help both first time preppers and more experienced ones in optimizing the content of their BOB.

The guide contains not only a list of necessary items and their characteristics but also survival tips on packing the bag, setting up camp, getting a fire started and much more.

To keep the bag as light as possible, all the items were considered based on their weight, functionality and durability. Both the items included and the methods described have been tested and put into practice numerous times and across different types of terrain.

Disasters can strike at any time so be prepared and have your Bug out Bag on the ready.
