DIY Linen Spray!

 I got a crafty urge a couple weeks ago to make my own linen spray and it seriously smells heavenly AND is super easy to make! This stuff works PERFECTLY for covering up a certain two-year -olds diaper smell. For realz. You know how you walk into a kids room like "Woah, what died in here?" and you change the kids diaper but the smell is lingering? Spray some of this in the room and it covers the smell right up y'all. Not even joking.

Thing you need:

1. Witch Hazel

I bought this from Amazon. I know Target sells it as well! The main reason you need this is because the essential oils wont mix with the water and this helps that!

2. Essential Oils 

I bought these from Walmart. Keepin' it classy, I know.  This combo smells amazing. It's grapefruit and lemongrass. You can use any scents that you like! Lavender also smells amazing!

 

3. Spray bottle

 

 I also bought this spray bottle from amazon! I love how simple and pretty they are! But you could honestly use anything that sprays!

How to make it:

1. Take 5 tablespoons of witch hazel and mix it with the essential oils.  I did 10 of grape fruit and 10 of lemon. Shake well.

2. Mix 2 cups of water with the witch hazel/essential oil mixture and pour into your spray bottle. You can use a funnel if you have one available. I didn't, so I just used a measuring cup. 

There ya go! Amazing linen spray! Or -make-a-room-smell-amazing-after-two-year-old-has-epic-diaper spray! ha!

 

Life update

I'm still alive over here! I'm currently sipping coffee, writing this blog post, and helping Em with her lessons. Things have been busy! My uncle came out to visit for Christmas which was amazing! The kids adored him and after he left tucker kept looking out the window and saying that "Unkle Tom iz sweeping". He stayed out in our camp trailer which was super nice for him so he could have his own space. It gets pretty loud up in this house haha!
We went to the coast and it could not have been more beautiful--Sunny and 51. That's unheard of this time of year. I think he got the wrong impression! You need the wind blowing at 50 and rain hitting your face like bullets. That's the true coast experience. 

 

We also went to Majestic Falls, and it was stunning!! We took the kids there over the summer and figured Uncle Tom would love it. 

 

 

We also had a snow storm a few weeks ago! We don't get a ton of snow living in the valley, so the kids really enjoyed it! 

 

My dad has a tradition where he buys all the grandsons Henry Riffles and he sent Tuckers out right after Christmas so I had to get a picture. My dad mentioned that I'm running him dry with all these boys haha!!

 We happened to be at the light house the same day that Charlie proposed 8 years ago! We had to snap a picture! Tucker looks like hes ready to ship into outer space with that coat haha! It's crazy because we still seem like that couple that got engaged eight years ago. We added a few kids since then, but its only made life more fun!
