baby wipes

*i know this isn't a food recipe, but it is a money saving recipe! average savings is about $175 a year! my friends have used this recipe too, and they work better than any store ones because they are the most tender, if you want other recipes take a look at this address:
www.naturalbirthandbabycare.com/homemade-baby-wipes-recipes.html these have lavendar, aloe olive oil, or baby oil in them. this is just the basic recipe for half the roll.

1 roll sturdy paper towels cardboard middle removed, ("viva" work well, i wouldn't use the really cheep kind, they might desinigrate. cut roll in half through the middle width wise, and i prefer to tare each towel apart)
3 c. water
1 tablespoon baby bath wash
1 tablespoon baby lotion
1 gallon size ziplock bag

Mix water, baby wash and lotion together (you may need to heat water and wisk in lotion).
Place paper towels in plastic bag, dump in mixture and let absorb.

some say to do this all in a bucket, but like to do it in the zip lock bag, it eliminates clean up and more steps.
if you don't tare them apart, take out the cardboard roll, and place the roll in the bag first and then pour the mixture over the roll. this helps it soak in all the layers.

everyone that has tried these says it is super easy, and prefer them to any store bought, and their kids don't get as many problems.
