King of Bug Repellent & A GIVEAWAY!!!

We have discovered the most amazing bug repellent! And I am not kidding!!! :) Let me tell you...every mom needs some of this stuff (and no, I am not usually THAT quick to recommend to someone that you NEED some of a certain product...but this stuff really REALLY works!) Sooo, I know you are all falling off the edge of your seats wondering what exactly I'm talking about, right? haha. :) Well, I won't keep you in suspense any longer...it's an all natural herbal insect repellent from For My Kids. And it is AMAZING! (I know, I said that already, but I just can't believe how well it works!) I was quite thrilled to find my sample of Insect Repellent in the mail when we came back for our quick break between our 2 weeks of camping we just did - and for the whole second week I used the insect repellent from For My Kids on Tate (especially since we didn't want any more mosquito incidents like this one!) And he did not get ONE SINGLE bite, even though the mosquito's were biting Daddy (who had Tate riding on his back), then totally ignored Tate. It was SOOO nice not to have to be watching him every second to make sure that no bugs were landing on his little hands/face/neck, etc. And Daddy even decided to try out the insect repellent to see how well it worked. He put some on his ankles where he said he was always getting bitten - and a while later when I asked him if he'd gotten any more bites, he said Yep, but NONE on his ankles! So now he's sold on the bug repellent too. :) (Plus it smells yummy...like some nice, fresh lemons!) Oh...and do you want to know what's in this stuff that make it work so well? For my Kids uses 100 percent pure organic catnip essential oil. Nepetalactone, which gives catnip its odor, was found to be 10 times more effective than the popular insect repellent DEET without the harmful side effects! So like I said...every mom needs some of this. :)

For My Kids also has a few other really great products - an all natural comfrey salve (which we received as well, but haven't had any boo-boos to try it out on yet - however, I just got an email from For My Kids and I hear it helps to stop itching from bug bites!! We'll definitely be trying that out yet!), an all-natural vegan lip balm, an all-natural hand wash and an all-natural disinfectant! So judging from how wonderful their insect repellent is, I have no doubt that the rest of their products would be just as great. And it's so nice to know that you are using something on your kids that is safe and won't ever have any harmful side effects. I can tell you that we will for sure be purchasing more from this company in the future!

Wow, sounds like great stuff. I love to win since Gavin and Katelyn are allergic to bug bites! Glad it worked out for you guys!

Evan & Krista said...

I hate putting repellent on Josiah, but what are we to do? His bites swell up (not as bad as Tate did though), so we need to use something. This sounds great!

Gina said...

Thank you for the tip. We don't get many mosquitoes where we are but we plan on doing some camping eventually and I'll certainly give this one a try!

Mandi said...

Oh that sounds wonderful - my sons swell up HUGE with bug bites and I hate putting all those chemicals on them to repel the bugs (I still do of course, but don't like it).

noreen said...

I keep my kids in around dusk so I would love a bug repellant so they can keep playing outside

Lori said...

what a great idea... bug bites on little ones always seem so bad, and I hate using bug spray

Stam House said...

laura said...

Sounds like a winner to me! I am always getting bitten, while my husband walks away scott free. Very happy to hear your review!

Danielle said...

This is awesome. I have been wondering about safe insect repellent!

Madeline said...

Wow, that sounds great! I know you were happy to get your hands on that after the emergency room incident. Glad to hear about it.

Stacey said...

Oh, this would be awesome! My kids swell up too, but not as bad as Tate!

Ann said...

oh....cool!!!! In Msia, we get terrible mosky bites too and it hurts my heart to see it happen on my son's arm or leg or body!

Sigh...why aren't I in the same land you are in ? Then I will certainly try for your contests!

Bruce and Heather said...

Sounds like some good stuff!

noreen said...

I already commented but I forgot to share that my brother used to react the same way to bites. When he was about 1 he got bit on his eyelid. the eye swelled shut. His bites always swelled alot. He is much older now and he barely notices when he gets a bite

Krystyn said...

I would love some! Izzy's bites look as bad a Tate's (well almost as bad) and I feel awful using the DEET stuff, but it's all we've found that works.

Betsy said...

We could use this!

SuperAngel said...
