**Baby Wipes** - Homemade!
1 empty baby wipes plastic container
1 roll thick paper towels (I like VIVA for these, they are very soft)
2 cups water
2 tablespoons baby shampoo
1 tablespoon baby oil
Tear each paper towel from roll, stack them and then cut a couple inches off the end so they can fit into the plastic container. Fold each papertowel in half and place the stack of folded papertowels into the plastic wipes container. Combine water, baby shampoo and baby oil in a separate cup and then pour over the paper towels.
