There are times when I may have purchased or used a product that has simply
made life easier.
Sometimes its a kitchen tool or a something that helped with parenting or
something that was just awesome. I will be posting these items here. You can

Mosquito repellent
Every summer and spring I like to spend as much time as I can with my family
in our little backyard oasis. Nothing ruins our outdoor fun like those pesky
mosquitoes. I have tried everything from bug zappers to citronella plants and
candles nothing has worked as well as this. Hands down my favorite mosquito
repellent is made by Thermacell. Practically no odor, no harmful chemicals,
user friendly and this version comes with a nice lantern. It has about a 15
foot "protection zone", which is great for small backyards. You have to
purchase replacement butane cartridges and mosquito repellent pads.
I have two versions, one of them too take with us when we decide to go for a
picnic. I purchase the cartridges and mats in bulk about once a year and stay
mosquito free all summer long!
Firestarters
Nothing smells more like summer than BBQ or wood fires. The easiest and
fastest way I've found to get my summer started is with some lighter cubes
by Webster. Just one cube under your charcoal chimney or wood stack is all
you need. If your old school there are always fatwood sticks.
