Homemade Air Freshener

I am a bad blogger!  I have been so busy with the baby shower, I haven't had time to think, let alone blog.  I am so sorry.  I hope you will forgive me!  The baby shower was a hit!  Everyone had fun, and momma, daddy and soon-to-be-here Layton received a lot of wonderful gifts!

Summer made it's way in today.  Hot, humid, and miserable.  And I'm being very, very nice!  So, my son and I have been cleaning up the house.  After the baby shower and all the DIY I did, it needed it bad.

Today I am sharing with you something, more than likely, most everyone already knows.  I'm sharing it anyway.  Just in case.  I usually buy Glade Air Freshener in the spray bottle.  So, I went to look for a bottle and I had a LOT of empty spray bottles.  I like Glade.  It's not too overwhelming. And it smells pretty good.  But, I was completely out. This was not a good thing.

I stood looking at my empty bottles for a while, my brain working hard to figure out how I could get some air freshener.  Then, the light bulb went off!  I filled the bottle, about half way with water, and poured in some real vanilla.  Mixed it really good by shaking the bottle hard. (Make sure the nozzle in on tight)
I then sprayed the mixture into the air.  I also took my air filters (we use the reusable kind) sprayed them off and after they dried, sprayed the filters down with the air freshener.  Made the entire house smell wonderful!!

And, from what I understand, vanilla is a smell that relaxes.  Maybe that's why I am ready for a nap.
