Make absorbent ice packs out of disposable diapers

Amazon: Swaddlers Size Newborn Diapers Big Pack 84 CountLet's all stand up and applaud Jen for sending in a hack right after coming home from the hospital with a newborn! *applause*

I had to share a hack that the nurses used in the maternity ward.  They made ice packs out of diapers!

They opened a Pampers Swaddlers disposable diaper (since they had lots on hand), poured ice cubes inside between the layers, and then folded the top over and used the tabs to secure. This made a ice pack with a really soft, comfortable surface that absorbed the moisture as the ice melted. It also stayed cool for a long time.

I'm using this trick at home the next time I have a need for ice packs!

A more comfy alternative to my usual: a bag of frozen peas.

Anyone else have an ice pack hack?

"Glue" burritos closed with guacamole

Guacamole glue: Step 1

Guac-glue-2

Elizabeth hacks the homemade burrito!

One of our go-to dinners is burritos, but it's hard for little kids to eat an adult-sized tortilla full of stuff without a messy explosion. Our kid largely doesn't mind eating his with a fork or scooping up the filling with tortilla chips, but I found a way to "glue" the burrito together using guacamole. This makes it much easier for him to pick up (really, it makes it easier for me to pick up, too!) and everyone loves guacamole!
