All Natural Flea Treatments

It's THAT time of year again!!  YES...BUG SEASON!  We live in the country (and I mean COUNTRY!  lol), AND we live by a pond.  I have heard there are some plants to help naturally repel mosquitoes and I am planning on looking into it further and trying it out this summer.  Keep checking with me to see how it turns out.

First things first.  We have two dogs and a cat and although I have kept flea collars on them all, they keep scratching!  I don't want to set off bug bombs (well I DO but I don't want the chemicals and the clean up from the chemicals after).  So I set out to find a more natural option.  And find it I did!! Eucalyptus is a natural flea repellant and safe for cats (AND it smells quite nice!).  Just put a FEW drops on the back of your kitty's neck every two weeks or so to help keep the fleas away!

For your carpets and furniture, you can sprinkle them with baking soda and table salt mixed in equal amounts.  Leave it overnight and vacuum it up in the morning. Try doing this for two rounds to kill the adults, then do it again after about a week and a half to two weeks later and it will get any of the eggs that they have left.  If anyone else has any other suggestions for me to try, send them my way!!!

From Proper to Rocker

So my husband is a drummer.  So when we had our son I wanted nothing more than to dress our little one up like his daddy!  But it is hard to find that "rocker" style.  I stumbled on this little store owner through a mommy's forum and they just keep growing and growing! I LOVE their merchandise and wanted to share their awesomeness!  Check them out!  From Proper to Rocker

Photo Jewelry


I requested pictures from my friends and family to use to make photo jewelry.  I think they turned out great!  I currently have several custom orders that I am working on and I will post the completed pictures soon!  On some of the pictures, I couldn't get my cell phone to focus on the images as well as I would have liked.  If you are interested  in purchasing an item but would like to see a clearer picture first... just message me:  toodlebugdesign@gmail.com 

You can also message me there to make a purchase.  The Necklaces are $20 and the earrings are $10.  Or $28 for a full set!  I will give you 10% off your purchase if you will like my Facebook page and "share" me!  I will also give you an additional 10% off for EVERY PERSON you refer to me!  So you could potentially get a set for FREE!
