Baby Wipes

We ran out of wipes once. Mid diaper change, the wipes ran out, and I lost my mind. Who knew that you could make your own in less than 5 minutes?? Less irritating, actually effective, and I daresay they seem to have cut down on the diaper rashes during those "extra stinky" days! I *love* my new baby wipes. FYI, they're also super effective for cleaning hands and faces, high chairs, and other surfaces after messy meals. I usually double this batch so that I have two containers ready to go at all times.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups water

• 1/2 Tbsp castile soap (buy this at Walmart/Target/grocery store)

• 1 Tbsp aloe vera gel (buy this at Walmart/Target/grocery store)

• 1 Tbsp witch hazel (buy this at Walmart/Target/grocery store)

• 1 Tbsp avocado oil (buy this at Walmart/Target/grocery store)

• 1/8 tsp vitamin e

• 6 drops lavender

• 6 drops tea tree

Directions

1. Place paper towels (I recommend Viva brand) or napkins (Vanity brand is super soft) in a glass or plastic container (an old wipes container happens to be perfect for this). If using paper towels, fold them accordion-style into the container. If using napkins, grab a handful and set inside making sure they're easily removed one at a time (don't fold in half as a bunch...you only need one wipe at a time).

2. Mix all ingredients in a bowl and stir. Don't whisk, and don't try to short cut your way with a blender. We're not looking to make bubbles here.

3. Slowly pour the mixture into the container with your napkins/paper towels until thoroughly moistened. Pour extra into the bottom of the container.

4. Clean that baby.
