Baby wipes, gardening, crocheting..OH MY!

The past couple weeks have been crazy. I have been dealing with an insane amount of anxiety and stress. SO I have been doing lot of things to try to make myself feel better or more in control. I have made baby wipes, planted a garden, *Lord, please let it flourish*, and started knitting and crocheting. I CAN CONTROL THESE THINGS! Yay me.

 

First, homemade baby wipes: Lately Alaina has been getting a pretty red butt from the wipes that have worked her whole life. I was constantly thinking something was wrong when all it was, was the wipes. She's got a sensitive booty. So,

 

1. Cut a roll of paper towels in half (which surprisingly, is incredibly difficult to do).  

2. Boil 1 cup of water

3. Add 1 tbs. of baby wash to warm water(we use baby-ganics but you can use any kind)

4.Add 1 tbs. of coconut oil to warm water.

5. Once everything is combined, pour into container big enough for 1/2 roll of paper towels

6. Add 1/2 roll and let it soak for 5 minutes, then flip it over and let the other side soak it in. After about 10 minutes pull the cardboard center out.

 

They are SO amazing and don't bother her butt at all.

Our garden. Hopefully in about 50-70 days we will have home grown carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, zucchini, and kale! Mmmm

She loved the homemade Alfredo sauce we made last week.

The crochet infinity scarf for Alaina.

We love playing with rice and noodles OUTSIDE! Alaina likes them inside also ;)


Tonight's adventure will be homemade garlic cheese rolls. I know, I'm late to homemade bread train.
