My family loves going RV'ing. We bought an RV a few years ago and love to spent weeks away on adventures. The downside to adventures is often we find a lot of bugs. We went on a trip recently to Bear Lake Utah and the mosquitos were the worst that I have ever seen them.

This DIY bug spray is great because it helps with not getting a mosquito bite but you don't have to worry about what you are putting on your kids. Plus making homemade bug spray with essential oils, it smells great, too!
