It's that time of year when insects are busy finding new homes and sources of food and water. Many people have ant problems. Rather than spray your home full of chemicals that affect not only adults, but especially pets and children, you can have a safe alternative with essential oils.
Non-Poisonous Ant Repellant
Put 4 oz. water in a cup-size sprayer bottle. Add the following essential oils and shake before each use. Keep area being invaded by ants sprayed 3-4 times a day until they go elsewhere.
10 drops Eucalyptus Essential Oil
10 drops Peppermint Oil
7 drops Clove Oil
Our choice for a pure and effective choice of essential oils is the Nature's Sunshine brand. Shop here.

Recipe: Egg Replacer
From One Of Our Subscribers: S.K.
1 Tbsp. Flaxseed
1/4 cup of cold water
Grind 1 heaping Tbsp of flax seeds in a blender on the highest setting (or in a coffee grinder then transfer to blender). Add cold water and blend for 2 to 3 minutes until thick. 1/4 cup of Egg Replacer equals 1 egg.
"I saw this in Real Food and have used it many times and it works great. It's healthy too because it has no cholesterol, it's rich in essential fatty acids (omega-3 and omega-6) and rich in fiber too."

Time Banks For Gardening, Repairs and More
Everybody's got a skill or talent and if we all share, we can bank our time and glean payment by accessing another person's skills for work we need done. It's the same concept as a babysitting club. Somebody's job would be to administrate the plan by keeping track of the hours submitted by each member and notifying members of what they have accrued (maybe with a monthly email?).
This is great for neighborhoods, church groups, women's groups, homeschoolers, and any other group of people. There is even TimeBanking software to make things run smoother. Get more information at TimeBanks USA.
