I became a single mom at the age of 24. 5 years later, I watched as my house grew from 2 to 4. Now a blogger & creator of Mommy Dig, and as a Thriving mom, I share my duties and mishaps as C.E.O. of 3 children and one crazy cat. Everyday is an adventure. I may lose my mind, but I'm loving every minute of it!!

Don't ya just hate it....

I tell ya there's nothing like having to change a baby's diaper and realize you're out of wipes! Solution? Make your own! I actually learned this little trick while working at a daycare/preschool. One of the babies in my class had really sensitive skin. His mother was a Dermatologist and taught me how to make them once while babysitting.
Here is a list of the items you will need:

  • A roll of paper towels (Warning: cheap & thin will rip)
  • Your favorite baby wash
  • Baby oil (If you don't have any lying around, you can use olive or vegetable oil, too. Preferably organic!)
  • A round tupperware container with lid (a recycled wipe box works fine, too!)
Cut the paper towel roll in half using a sharp knife. Place 1/2 of paper towel roll, standing up, into round tupperware container. In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup of warm/hot water, 1 tbsp. of baby wash, and 1/2 tbsp. of baby oil. Pour mixture over paper towels, allowing them to soak for 5-10 minutes (or until fully saturated). Remove cardboard middle from paper towel roll and unwind from the center.

And there you have it! Homemade baby wipes!
