Air Freshening, Parront-style!

[birdhouse]

Store-bought sprays & candles may be one of many concessions whenever we commit to becoming parronts (because they can cause problems for a parrot's delicate respiratory system). But there are still some pretty nice, natural homemade alternatives that are simple enough & truth be told probably better for everyone. Thought some people might enjoy something I found today.

Thank you Val, this is just what I needed today. Last night I put up our first ever artificial tree. The kids are grown, will stop in over the holidays on a whirlwind visit. Hubby is traveling extensively as he always has to at this time of year. This is the time I decided not to struggle with getting a real tree home and was missing the fresh pine. Time for a new Christmas scent.
