It's Fall! Time for apples and Home made diaper wipes in a flash!

First thing's first

Apple drink:
 

Apple Pie in a Jar


You will need:
  • 1 gallon apple cider
  • 1 gallon apple juice
  • 6 (3 inch) cinnamon sticks
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar, or to taste
  • 1 (1 liter) bottle 190 proof grain alcohol (such as Everclear™)

You will need to:

Place the apple cider, apple juice, cinnamon sticks, and sugar into a large pot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat, and discard the cinnamon sticks. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then stir in the grain alcohol. Pour into quart-size canning jars, seal with the lids and rings, and refrigerate until ready to serve. 








Also...How to make your own quick and easy diaper wipes:

I was recently faced with a nightmare diaper rash on my 7 month old son. Lot's of trouble led me to the conclusion that he is allergic to aloe. Most diaper wipes have aloe and lots of other unnecessary chemicals, soaps, and perfumes. But at one point in time or another, most of us have kept one of those plastic tubs that wipes come in. It's just hard to throw them away. haha. So anyway, I now make my own wipes and they work great!

Here's what to do:
Step 1) add four tablespoons of water to the bottom of a plastic disposable wipes container
Step 2) add a couple of drops (You don't need much at all) to the water in the tub
Step 3) close the lid and swish it around good
Step 4) tear 10-10 (or however many you have time for) paper towels (the kind with the small size) into sheets
Step 5) fold the paper towel into thirds and place in the water/soap solution 

And there you have it! It's easy enough and the plastic tub keeps them from drying out. It works just fine for me and it's cheaper than buying wipes, but STILL DISPOSABLE! Yay!
