From time to time, i will be posting "green" tips. These are things that i have either done myself, or have seen seen elsewhere, that i feel are good for our planet as well as easy mama solutions~
Today's tip~re-using the plastic bags that onsies, etc come in.
Seriously, most of you have probably gotten lots of these little packages as baby gifts, right? and if your at like me, and don't like throwing things away that could potentially be reused, (a trait i inherited from my Grams), you have an abundance of these little empty packages laying around. Well what i have found lately is that they work really well as diaper bag organizers.
Here are some examples:
~medicinal needs~
i have a larger size plastic bag from my baby's leather shoes filled with things like teething drops, infant Tylenol, calming spray, rescue remedy, sunscreen, etc
~diaper care~
In a smallish size bag, i keep small travel size containers of diaper cream, baby oil, baby lotion, baby soap, and a few small towels
~snack time~
depending on the age of your baby, this will vary of course. I have a 7 month old, so, currently in our bag, we have a jar of baby food, a few baby spoons, teething biscuits, bibs, a reused baby food jar with baby cereal mix, a fruit strainer (I'll explain this one in another blog if you're confused)
These have all been very handy, so i don't have to dig around the diaper bag for loose items and whatever the need is, i can just grab the appropriate bag, and they all have a closer of some sort, snaps or zippers, etc.
Other clever uses for these bags: (some stuff my older children use them for)
~Yu Gi Oh cards
~pool / beach supplies (sunscreen, chapstick, I.D., goggles
~coupons
Have any of you come up with any creative uses for these bags? I want to hear about them~*~
