Baby Wipes!

I made my own baby wipes today!! SUPER EASY!!! SUPER CHEAP!!! I really had never imagined that I could or would want to make my own wipes…. but I’m so excited how these came out!!

Supplies: Empty liter bottle (optional, but makes it easy to mix)

I used Baby Magic baby soap,

Natures Baby Organic oil and lotion. Natures Baby Organic’s smell soooo good. Both are so gentle and non irritating for baby Alice

1 roll of paper towels. I chose Viva because they are so soft. (Also a 3pk was $4.19 at Walmart)

I Ziplock container (from who knows when!)

Glad Press ‘n Seal (If you have never used this stuff YOU NEED TOO!! This stuff is amazing! It sticks on everything!! Again optional)

First I separated every paper towel. (I want to be able to puts some in Ziplocks for travel).

I’ve seen different sites that put the whole roll of paper towels into one container and just pull off what they need. So it’s a matter of preference.

That’s the real reason I did it my way is DH did dishes while I ‘worked’!!

I folded them in half. Then in half again.

Now after I folded the towels into fourths I took 1/2 of the pile and cut those in half again. For the not soooo messy cleaning jobs! (LOOK at how thrifty I am!!)

Fill the liter bottle with water, add a good squeeze of Baby Magic bath, Baby Lotion and the Baby oil. I would say about 2 tablespoons of each. I did two bottles worth. The first bottle didn’t get all the wipes wet.

Then I put the Glad Press ‘n Seal over the container and turned the whole thing upside down for an hour to let all the wipes absorb the mixture. I’m leaving the Glad Press ‘n Seal on till I need this box of wipes.

I’m lovin’ these wipes!! They smell sooooooo good!! They are gentle and pretty!

Look at my pretty little wipes!!

If walls could talk, my blog would whisper, “It wasn’t me.”
Because somehow, somewhere between coffee refills and letting the dog out, the Ghost of Peanut Butter and Whine keeps sneaking in and removing pictures and videos.

I don’t delete them. I would remember that. I am a responsible adult who double-checks things. And yet… photos vanish. Videos evaporate. Blog posts wake up looking underdressed, like they forgot their pants.

Cue dramatic music.

After the fifth “Where did that image go?” moment, I decided to stop fighting the paranormal and use it as an opportunity. If the ghost insists on rearranging my content, then I’m going to roll up my sleeves and improve my SEO score while I’m at it.

Because if I’m re-uploading images anyway, they might as well have proper file names, alt text, and sizes that don’t make Google sigh heavily. Videos? Optimized. Old posts? Updated. Keywords? Polished like they’re heading to prom.

SEO updates aren’t glamorous. No one brings a casserole when you rename image files from IMG_8472.jpg to ghost-proof-blog-photo.jpg. But they matter. Search engines like clarity. Readers like faster loading pages. And apparently, ghosts like chaos.

While I’m updating, it’s also a great time to remind you about my monthly $50 Your Way Giveaway, where one lucky winner gets PayPal, Venmo, or a gift card of their choice. You can find all the details right here:

And because Google loves good neighbors, here’s an external resource I actually use when brushing up on SEO basics:

So if you notice posts looking sharper and loading faster, don’t worry. It’s not a haunting.
It’s just me, outsmarting the ghost… one optimized image at a time.

Baby Wipes!
