Busy week, hats and baby wipes

So I was supposed to be able to sit down earlier this week and write, BUT that didn’t happen. This week got busier and busier as the week went along. I had a least one meeting everyday if not two. Colin was such a trooper too! He loves to be in his stroller walking around base, even though I know he loves to be at home walking more

In what little free time I had one evening I decided that I was going to FINALLY make Colin an upcycled hat from I AM MOMMA HEAR ME ROAR. It’s super cute and really easy, but I forgot to do things like, make a seam allowance, so it didn’t turn out. It was so cute too… but I couldn’t let Colin wear it out in public. LOL… I will hopefully get to make another soon, but want to go find a fabric store so that I can hopefully get it right.

I also took 5 minutes out my schedule and made some homemade baby wipes. I’ve gotten some weird looks from some of my friends, but I’m looking for ways to save money and making my own wipes is one of them. Wipes are NOT cheap… The wipes I made only cost me $1.70!!! YAY! They work really well too… so I’ve decided that I will post the recipe that I’m using. There are lots out there, but I decided I had the ingredients for this already so it would save even more money.

Baby Wipes

2 ½ cups of hot water

2 TBSP baby bath

2 TBSP baby oil or vegetable oil

4 QT container (make sure it has a good seal)

Cut the paper towels in half and place one half in the container. Pour the water, baby bath and oil mixture over the paper towel. Close the container and flip upside down. Wait 5 minutes and remove the cardboard middle from the container.

Thanks for stopping by!
