DIY Diaper Wipes


Homemade Diaper Wipes!

Supplies:- Tall, round 3 Quart container with a lid

- Better quality paper towels (the cheap paper towels don't work well on a dirty bottom)

- Knife to cut the paper towel roll in two
- Baby shampoo
- Baby oil

Directions:
1. Cut a paper towel roll in half so you have two short rolls.
2. Set one roll inside the canister. Set the other half aside for next time.
3. Combine and stir together:
1 1/2 cup hot tap water
2 Tablespoon baby shampoo
2 Tablespoon baby oil
4. Pour the liquid mixture over the top of the paper towel roll. As the liquid soaks through, the moisture will loosen the cardboard center making it easy to pull out. If you get lucky, it will bring with it the end of the paper towel roll. If not, carefully pull on the wipes in the center to get the sequence going.
5. Pull out the amount of paper towels (from the center) that are needed. Reseal after each use.
6. If the wipes are not wet enough or the lid doesn't get put back on, just add more water. If the wipes are too moist, leave the lid off for a little while.
**If you are out of the diaper stage, these work great for cleaning up messy hands and faces when you are on the go. You can also use this mixture to re-wet purchased baby wipes!



Freezer Meals for Mamas to Be: Meatloaf

A few weeks ago, a new mom gave me a tip to start freezer cooking or preparing meals ahead of time to freeze and make after baby is born. I thought what a great idea! Why not use the time I have now to get the ball rolling so we can enjoy as much time with our son while not having to worry about grocery shopping or what to eat.

So here is my plan.

I am due to give birth in 15 (will be 14 to go on Monday) weeks. I will make one freezer meal each week until I give birth (I might actually make a couple a week towards the end when I hit that infamous "nesting" stage.) 

I started my first freezer meal yesterday for my 15th week: Lean Sirloin Meatloaf.

You will need:
1lb lean ground sirloin (98% lean or greater)
1 bell pepper
1 egg
1/2 cup oats
1 onion
Dales sauce
Garlic Powder, Salt, and Pepper to taste

Directions:
Mash up all ingredients in a bowl like below (you will have to cut the veggies into small pieces).


Form into a loaf and wrap the loaf tightly in tinfoil.


Store in a ziplock freezer bag (1 gallon), mark date and directions.

All done!

I will post next week's after I plan on what it will be! I hope to make most of these crockpot or oven friendly
