I always keep a few things in my car in case I forget them at home. Sunscreen, a hair brush and bug spray. You might laugh at the hair brush but I think I use that the most.

It has been such a hot summer (no complaints here). We are always in the sun and have a lot of late summer nights at the ballpark or down by the water. Bug spray is a necessity for us but I hate spraying all those unwanted chemicals on my child’s skin and breathing it in is even worse.

Did you know you can make your own Kid-Friendly Bug Spray? As long as you have a 4 oz spray bottle and a few simple ingredients you too can make some great smelling bug repellent to keep those annoying mosquitoes away.

I just keep my cute little blue bottle tucked away in my glove box and can carry it in my backpack or purse when needed.
