Grandparents.com

Anybody see "The Early Show" on Thursday?? The Senior Editor of Grandparents.com, Georgia Witkin, Ph.D., was on Thursday's broadcast. So I thought that I would check out the site. It is great. What a wonderful idea. There are all kinds of featured topics including activities, toys, expert advise, groups, food, etc. etc. This site seems to be an excellent source for grandparents. It shares a lot of tips of taking care of kids. Topics such as the well known "back to sleep" movement were drastically different when grandparents raised their own children. So check it out, pass it own to all the grandparents out there. Happy Friday!!! Until next time...

Oh, BTW~ apparently (thanks to the countdown on the site) there are 57 days 9 hours 28 mins and 6 seconds until grandparents day. Checkout the site to get great ideas for celebrating!!

Homemade Baby Wipes

Here is the latest and greatest from Forty Toes!! I was over at FT's house the other day with Collin, my youngest. I had forgotten my diaper bag and needed to change him. I put him on FT's changing table and low and behold she had homemade baby wipes. Yes, the mother of triplets and a preschooler had made baby wipes. (with a really cute label too) They worked great!! I was sold... imagine how much money you could save by making your own wipes. So in all my free time (ha, ha) I am going to attempt this wonderful idea. I thought that I would share the recipe.

Homemade Baby Wipes

#9 Rubbermaid Container

1/2 roll of Bounty Paper Towels

2 cups water

1-2 tablespoons baby oil

2 tablespoons of baby wash

Mix all liquid ingredients in the container. Remove cardboard from 1/2 roll of paper towels. Put the paper towels in the container and put the lid on tight. Flip the container over and wait until the paper towels are thoroughly saturated.

And there you have it folks, homemade baby wipes. What a great idea. If you have any ideas on this topic let us know. Until next time...
