Save big bucks with DIY wipes

I was just browsing around on MomAdvice.com and came across an awesome article about making your own baby wipes.
I’d been totally focused on the benefits of cloth diapers, but hadn’t even thought of wipes yet!
You can use either baby washcloths — just cheapie Wal-Mart ones — or thick paper towels, depending on how much you love the environment (or loathe laundry). You can also sew your own wipes, using inexpensive flannel.
Ingredients:
  • Strong paper towels (or baby washcloths)
  • 2 cups (500ml) water
  • 1/2 cup (125ml) of baby oil
  • 1/2 cup (125ml) baby bath wash
Directions:
  • If you’re using paper towels, cut the roll in half.
  • Remove the cardboard roll, so wipes put out of the centre.
  • Mix together water, baby oil, and baby bath wash.
  • Pour the mixture over the paper towels or washcloths.
  • Store in an airtight container.

I’m Heather Laura Clarke. I’m writer living in beautiful Nova Scotia, I have a 11-year-old son and a nine-year-old daughter, I married my high school sweetheart, and this is the story of my handmade life.

I have depression and anxiety, and I fight like hell every day to keep it from taking over my life. Making things isn’t just a hobby — it’s part of what keeps me alive.

Whether I’m writing novels, decorating a room, busting out my power tools to build furniture, getting muddy in the pottery studio, sewing clothes for my kids, or cross-stitching a swear word, I’m all about using my creativity to craft a life I love.

I’ve been writing this blog since 2009, so if you dig deep into the archives, you’ll meet a bright-eyed 25-year-old newlywed who was basically obsessed with having kids, buying a cozy house, and supporting herself full-time as a writer. (Spoiler alert: she got exactly what she wanted.)
