Ok, I promised to share some great wipe solution recipes, and finally, here they are!  Choose any recipe, combine ingredients into a spray bottle, or into a recycled wipes container (with your neatly folded cloth wipes).

Almond 'n' Chamomile - a great soothing solution!

• 2 chamomile tea bags
• 2 teaspoons almond oil
• 2 cups hot water

Steep the tea bags in the hot water then add the oil.

Anti-Fungal - I used this one the most!

• 1/4 cup white vinegar 
• 1 tablespoon calendula oil
• A few drops lavender oil
• A few drops tea tree oil
• 1/4 cup 100% aloe vera gel
• 1 cup water

Omit vinegar if baby has a raw rash.

 
Basic Wipe Solution - I used this one as well, but this will start to smell funky if not used within a couple of days!

• 1/2 cup baby oil
• 1/2 cup baby wash
• 2 cups water

Castile Solution

• 1 tablespoon almond, apricot, or other oil
• 1 tablespoon Dr Bronner's Liquid Castile Soap
• 2 drops tea tree oil
• 1 drop lavender oil
• 1 cup water

Essential Oil Solution

• 4 cups water warmed in microwave
• 2-4 drops Tea Tree Oil
• 2-4 drops Lavender Essential Oi1
• 1 Tablespoon Grapeseed Oil
• 1 Tablespoon Calendula Oil
• 2 Tablespoon Baby Wash

 I would love to hear about your favorite wipe solution recipes!

Graham Crackers

Quick and Easy "Graham" Crackers

This recipe may not produce your average graham crackers but they are a fun and healthy alternative.  The graham crackers are fun to make with your toddler because the dough is easy to use with cookie cutters and there is no need to place dough in the refrigerator!

*Thicker crackers are great as teething biscuits just don't use whole wheat flour - substitute for all purpose or unbleached.

Homemade "Graham" Crackers

1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup unbleached flour (or all purpose)
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 cup margarine or butter (cold)
1/2 cup brown sugar (or honey)
Few Tbsp. milk

Preheat oven to 400.

Combine flours, baking powder and sugar. Cut in butter a few Tbsp at a time until crumbles form. Add milk a Tbsp at a time until dough forms a nice ball. If the ball is too stiff add a little more milk, if it is too wet add a little unbleached flour.

Roll out on to a floured surface to about 1/4" to 1/2" thickness.  Cut with a pizza cutter into squares or use floured cookie cutters.  Prick cut crackers with a fork and brush with a little milk (optional).

Bake at 400 on a cookie sheet covered in aluminum foil or (preferred) parchment paper for 12 to 18 mins or until firm looking.

Place on cooling rack and enjoy!
