Summer = mosquitoes and that means you need a safe way to protect your family.

Summer is now upon us and that means lots of outdoor activities. That also means lots of mosquito bites. I've recently found a great way to protect myself and my children from mosquito bites while we are outside. I prefer to use the mosquito bands instead of the spray repellent. These are made of 100% natural ingredients and they are easy to use.  These bands are infused with food-grade essential oils that emit an aroma that flying pests avoid at all costs. The best part for me is that the kids put them on and forget about them. I don't have to worry about them getting bit up. Theses bands protect you for about 100 hours. After that you can recycle them so they are also good for the environment. This is a win-win for my family.

Groupon has a great deal on theses bands right now. They are only $14.99 for a pack of 10. Click the link below to read more about these great bands. https://www.groupon.com/deals/gg-bug-bam-mosquito-bands-10-pack

Arizona braces for Odile

After the flooding we saw last Monday we need to be prepared for more water. Most fire departments are handing out sandbags to local residents. The news is suggesting we stay inside and be prepared. Since the ground is already saturated from last weeks storm the water won't seep into the ground. The water will just create a huge flood across the area. 

Make sure you don't become a victim of Odile. 

Here's how to protect your property with sandbags.

Step one: Contact your local fire department and see if they are offering FREE sandbags. If they are not you will have to purchase some at a local hardware store. Places like Home Depot, Lowes or Ace Hardware will have them. 

Step two: Figure out how many bags and how much sand you would need to complete the wall. The staff at your local store should be able to help you with this. Just tell them how large of an area you need to protect.

Step three: You will need to purchase bags, sand and plastic sheeting or a tarp from your local hardware store.

Step four: Have a friend help you fill the bags. One person will hold the bag open while the other person uses a shovel to add sand to the bag. Fill the sandbags half way so you have excess to material to create a flap at the open end. Some bags will come with something to secure the bag closed. If yours does not, you can simply fold the flap over to seal it.

Step five: Place the plastic sheeting or tarp on the ground where you want to keep the water out. Place the plastic sheeting or tarp halfway up the wall, window or door where you want to keep the water out. This will help create a barrier to divert the water.

Step six: Start placing the first row of sandbags on the plastic sheeting or tarp. Make sure that each bag is tight against the next bag by tapping it down. Start the next row on top of the first in a brick pattern as seen below. 

Stagger the placement of sandbags to create a strong barrier. Continue packing the bags down as you go. Build the wall up until you reach the desired height to safely divert the water.

Step seven: Relax; you are now protected from flooding waters. Stay inside and be safe.
