And I should be asleep,
But my tummy’s feeling empty
And I’m hungry as can be.
You say it’s 3 am Mom
And you’re tired as you can be,
But I thought I’d like to hold you
And keep you company.
And now it’s 5 am Mom
And I’m rested as can be.
I’m so very glad to see you;
Hope you’re glad to see me too.
And when I’m sleeping through the night
I’m sure we’ll both agree
That we miss those nights we spent alone
Just my sweet Mom and me.
Shaklee Baby Wipes
Posted by Traci in Information on September 26th, 2009 | 3 Comments »Equipment:
3 qt. Round food storage canister (Tupperware)
1 roll thick paper towels (I use Brawny). Cut in half horizontally with an electric knife to make two short rolls.
Mix:
2 cups water
1/2 Tbsp. Shakleebaby Soothing Wash
1/2 Tbsp. Shakleebaby Massage Oil
Instructions:
Put one of the cut rolls into the canister and pour mixture over the top. Wait five minutes, then pull out the cardboard center. Pull first wipe from the inside roll.
These are very economical and are not cold on baby’s bottom.
Other uses: Handi wipes around the house, in the car, personal hygiene for women, the elderly, or those with sensitive skin.
Welcome!
