Home Made Baby Wipes

Check out this great recipe for making your own baby wipes. I got this (the pictures and the recipe) from Fistful of Coupons.

Ingredients:


1 Roll of Paper Towels (I recommend Viva as it has a nice cotton feel to it)
2 Cups Water
2 Tbsp. any Baby Oil, Apricot Oil, Mineral Oil, or Tea Tree Oil/ Malaleuca(anti-fungal)
1 Tbsp. Baby Wash (optional)
1 water-tight container (I love the Ziploc large round tub)

Directions:
Take the paper towel roll and cut in in half. You can take some large kitchen shears or a sharp knife. To the Water-tight container add your water, 2 Tbsp. any of the oils listed and optionally the baby wash. Gently mix the ingredients together and drop in the paper towel half. Seal the container and flip upside down. Within about 10-15 minutes normally the whole roll has been absorbed. Open it up and remove the cardboard paper towel holder and you can start using the wipes!

Baby Oil + other oils
I know from my baby shower I already had lots of baby oil that people had given me. I had NO IDEA what to do with baby oil, so I just didn’t use it. As for other oils you can find them at natural food stores or possibly even at Fred Meyer. My sister-in-law buys the Burts Bee’s apricot oil because she loves the smell. She doesn’t add the baby wash to her’s either. Another friend uses the J&J Lavendar baby oil to make her’s smell better. Other’s use the Tea Tree Oil/Melaleuca because it’s an antifungal/antibacterial which will help if your baby gets yeast infections.

Price Breakdown:
Typically you can get the Viva paper towels for around $1 per roll. I have seen them as low as $7.99 for a 10-pack at Target. This week at RiteAid you can get a 6-pack for $5.99 (or $1 per roll). The Viva rolls have 50 sheets, so when you cut the roll in half you get 100 wipes.

Baby oil + generic baby wash can be purchased as low as $1 at the dollar store or if you coupon you might score a great deal. The oil and wash hold enough 10+ batches of wipes..so it costs about .20 per roll.

So these cost about $1.20 for 100 Wipes!
Thanks Fistful of Coupons!

I do have to admit that I have not verified if we are able to score this deal locally. If you know, would you please share.

Thanks Coupon Gal!

Have You Ever Just Had One of Those Days?

Okay, so before I show you the picture I JUST have to say a few words. Many of you, who have been following me for a while, have met/seen my "assistant" Blakey. Well, I have to tell you, he is such a card. Every time we turn around he is making us laugh for some reason or another. He REALLY is the family clown. Of course ALL of my kids are great and have their unique personalities. I could go on an on about my kids (as I'm sure many of you could too about your own children). Well, since most of you have met Blakey via in person or through my blogs, I just HAVE to share this picture with you.

Okay, so yesterday (Monday) evening we decided to go out to dinner (yes, with a coupon) and we were REAL hungry. We sent each of the kids to go in and go potty "AND wash your hands too." Okay, now you are done with that, "go and get your shoes on, so we get be ready to walk out the door." Blakey comes out of his "filthy" bedroom, where he can't find a single thing (yes, he has managed to turn his room upside down in a matter of days), and says "I cannot find my other shoe." I say, "you need to go back in there and find it, because you just had it a couple of hours ago." This is what happens when you ask him to pick his stuff up and he just takes it and chucks it in his room. Things just kind of land wherever. "We are going to leave in a few minutes and you'd better have your shoes on." I am trying to work with him in getting things done the first time I tell him. It is still a work in progress I tell ya'.

Okay, so we are off and running. Get to the restaurant, park the van, my husband goes to open the back door and he is presented with this...........

Look at his shoes!!! So, we ask him why he has two different shoes on, and he comes back with "well, I couldn't find my other flip-flop." Well, to his credit, he has them on the right feet and he DID get his shoes on so we could leave. :)

I don't think I have EVER laughed so hard. So, we came home and I took this picture. As you can see, he is a bit messy and not too happy with me.

Anyway, I just wanted to share with you all. Maybe you won't think it is as funny as I did, but I wanted to share.

Ever have anything like this happen with your kiddos?

Thanks!
