Homemade hand sanitizer
Field trips, outings, all day playing with toy food at the museum – hand sanitizer is a must! Make your own hand sanitizer without alcohol and chemicals. Easy to take on the go to keep those little hands clean.
A tiny bit of oil can solve all those tiny troubles…
When our child needs comfort it can seem like their little worlds are falling apart. Whether it’s the scraped knee or a teething baby any pain, however small, can feel really big. I started mixing up this oil blend to soothe and disinfect the scrapes and cuts. It must do something to help them as soon my kids started coming and asking for some even when the hurt really didn’t warrant a remedy. But, they just wanted to feel like something was helping them with that bumped elbow or squished finger. It can take the edge off sore gums for a teething baby and is a great replacement to using standard antibiotic ointment.
