Make your own...

Hey Everyone! Sorry for the delay in posting. It seems having a sick 4 month old is more draining than I thought. Praying things start to look up from here it sure has kept me on my toes that's for sure!

Anyway, our new how to do it yourself is how to make your own baby wipes or Lysol cleaning wipes.

What you will need:

1) bounty paper towel roll (cut in half)

2) large enough container to fit 1/2 paper towel roll into

3) Lysol & your favorite baby soap

4) measuring cup, & TBSP

Lysol Wipes

First cut your bounty paper towel roll in half, and then place it in the container ( a large peanut butter jar works good, cleaned and empty of course! ) Then take 1-2 cups of water in a large measuring cup and add 2 Tbsp of Lysol. Pour the mix over your paper towel roll. Allow to soak and then pull out the center cardboard once softened. And  TA DA!!!! You have a much cheaper and handy cleaning wipes!  ( You can also make these with bleach using less than Tbsp though. They work great for those jobs that need a little more sanitation, or camping to wipe down the picnic table or all the camping gear that's been in storage for a year!)

Baby Wipes

First cut your bounty paper towel roll in half, and then place it in the container. Take 1-2 cups of water in a microwavable container. Add 1 tsp of baby soap, & 1/2 tsp of oil. The oil will help to sooth and moisturize the skin, the soap will clean it and give it a nice scent! You may want add more or less of each the soap and the oil, feel free to play around with it. Next place the mixture in the microwave to blend the oil, soap, and water ( 1-2minutes). Next take and pour it over the paper towel. NOTE: You many not need all of the mixture just add enough till the paper towel is wet enough to your liking. Once softened again remove the cardboard center. You can store these in the fridge also to keep them fresher if you make a large batch.

I use the Homemade Lysol wipes in my house all the time!! They clean great and smell wonderful!! What do in your home to save money and be thrifty?
