"I think of summers of the past, adjust the base and let the alpine blast. Pop in my cd and let me run a rhyme. And put your car on cruise and lay back cause this is summertime" --DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince

Guess what three items I will not and can not live without?
3M Command Strips
amazon |
That's just crazy talk. You need to try command strips they securely hold large pictures, lightweight mirrors, art canvases and pretty much anything you need to hang on the wall.
I LOVE them. Let me say that again. I LOVE them.
No stress or pressure about hanging something and damaging a wall or changing my mind a week later ... just pull off the velcro strips no problem. But please read the directions and I wouldn't hang anything crazy heavy with them either. You can read more about them here.

And for the Outdoor Room?
Six plants that repel mosquitoes
Oh yeah .... it's summer. I don't know about you but mosquitoes love me. I can't go outside without coming back in with at least ten new bites. The solution? Plant flowers that mosquitoes hate!
So I'll be planting these babies this summer on my deck and I'll let you know if it works:)
Lavender
Lemon Balm
Marigolds
Basil
Catnip
Citronella Grass
You can read the article here. I found it on my local gardening supply website Keystone Gardens.

DeleteI planted several catnip plants around our patio last year and I think they've helped a little but they also attract a lot of bees!
