Home Made Baby Wipes

I have this recipe for home made wipes because I know you are all about the saving of the money!

1 1/2 cups water
2 tbs baby shampoo
1 tbs baby oil
no name paper towel (cheap generic kind)

Take the roll of paper towel and cut in half.
Put half of the paper towel in a deep container with a lid. (We use old tobacco containers that have been donated)

mix the water, baby oil and baby shampoo together and pour over the paper towel. If the paper towel still seems dry in a few minutes feel free to add water until it takes on a wipe consistency.

there you have the wipes! nice and cheap! (Walmart has paper towel that is 95cents for 2 rolls :D)

Alternate method. Works great at home!
