Baby wipes can be very expensive, considering a parent has to use over thousands of wipes in just a few months. Parents can save more money by making their own baby wipes. It’s quick, easy, and only takes about 15 minutes. You more than likely already have the products lying around your house.

First off, lets get together the ingredients. You will need:
1 roll of paper towels, Bounty is great!
2 cups water
1/2 cup of baby oil
1/2 cup baby magic baby bath
1 Sharp Knife
1 Plastic Container

Secondly, lets get creative. You will need to cut the roll of paper towels in half and remove the center cardboard. In your plastic container, mix the ingredients. Once ingredients are mixed, put the roll of paper towels into the container. Close the container lid. Turn the container upside down to allow the towels to soak up the liquid. Ta-Da! Congratulations, you just made your own baby wipes and saved tons of money!

17% of couples trying to get pregnant will experience infertility. I fall under this category. That’s right, I’m an infertile. No, I am not proud of it. But, saying it out loud helps, I discover there are many women out there on the world wide web, who have the same problems I do. Therefore, if I disclose all of my disgusting personal information, SOMEONE will say “I am going through the same thing!” I was diagnosed as an infertile at the age of seventeen, before I ever thought about conceiving. My uterus, ovaries, and even bowels are covered with this nasty web-like substance called Endometriosis. It’s ruining my life and causing me so much pain. Sometimes, I want to rip it out with a spoon and shove it down some fertile person’s throat! But, I won’t because I think pregnant people are beautiful and if God is giving them babies, then they deserve it. I’ll wait for my turn, patiently wait.

Not only do I have endometriosis, but my ovaries seem to suck. I produce eggs, maybe one, maybe two, but they don’t release. They torture me, they are like “hii, we’re here, ready to have a baby?” Then they don’t even release to help me have a baby. I have a doctor though, who is trying to help my husband and I conceive. I have had two laparoscopies, a hysteroscopy, and one painful HSG. My tubes are open, clear, and pretty. That’s a plus. We have had one IUI, without any success. We’ve tried Clomid, I didn’t produce any eggs. We’re getting ready to adventure on with Follistim when he returns from deployment. Follistim is a fertility drug, in which you inject medicine into your stomach, right below your belly button. Follistim helps produce more eggs, tons of eggs. Therefore, you have to be monitored by a doctor and constantly watched to make sure your ovaries do not overstimulate. I cannot wait to start the Follistim, I have a good feeling about it. We want ONE healthy baby, or maybe even twins. Twins would be fun! There are two things that will cure my endometriosis, pregnancy or a hysterectomy. I’m trying for the pregnancy! The only thing I can do is pray and hope everything works out. Maybe the next time I write a post like this, I’ll be talking about how I am pregnant and an infertile survivor!

I am not a parent myself, but I have had the privilege of taking care of infants. One important aspect when it comes to taking care of a child is feeding them. When I was a teenager taking care of my cousins, we would just buy the cheapest bottle we could find at Wal-Mart. No biggie right? A bottle is just a bottle. When a baby drinks a bottle, he/she is also filling their tummy with a bunch of air. Therefore, baby will be very hungry, but not able to eat because their belly is full of air, causing discomfort and pain. Of course the method of pushing their knees to their chest really does work the air out of their stomach, but it can also be avoided. As an adult, I know what it’s like to have gas in my body and the discomfort it causes, I could only imagine what a seven pound baby will go through. Recently, I came across the greatest bottle ever invented. I babysit a child who uses VentAire bottles, created by Playtex. Usually after babysitting, I would stink of spit-up and pulling my hair out because of a colic baby. Now, I babysit a happy, nonspit up, discomfort free baby just because of the bottle he uses. A bottle is no longer “just a bottle.” VentAire bottles help reduce the gas, spit-ups, and colic. How? Well, VentAire lets air in through a leak-proof bottom vent, which prevents air from mixing with the liquid. This make the bottle bubble-free, which in returns makes a gas free baby! I fully recommend this bottle to every mother. At least try it once, what do you got to lose?

Most people would say that I am too young to say that I have successful marriage, especially being newly weds. My husband and I have a strong marriage, even when he is gone for 15 months or more at a time. In the military, you have to have a strong marriage in order to survive. We have only been married for two years, but we have been together a total of five years. We never argue, we are always laughing, playing, discovering new things about each other. We don’t let the little things get to us. Therefore, I want to share our secrets with you.

100% trust. I trust my husband more than I have ever trusted anyone in my life. In a marriage, both partners have to trust each other with their lives. If you’re a military wife, you have to trust your husband 150%+. The husband is always gone, doing training, you never know when they will be home. Wives start to worry and accuse their husband’s of cheating. Plus, if you live on a military installation, I’m sure you are used to all the rumors you hear, “gracie is sleeping with jobob.” Troops are constantly worried about where their wives are while they are deployed. But the key to successful marriage is trust. ALWAYS TRUST YOUR SPOUSE! Don’t accuse them of cheating, lying, going out on you. Unless they have given you a specific reason to think that. If you’re going into a marriage already having trust issues, your marriage could fail.

Strong Communication. I tell my husband everything. I keep no secrets from him. Why? Because he’s my best friend. I tell him everything that goes on in my daily life, I talk about my emotions, my fears, my dreams. But, I don’t only talk my husband’s ears off, I’m also a great listener. I encourage him to voice his opinion, tell me about his thoughts and concerns and I listen first fully, then give advice. Don’t interrupt each other, let one another finish first, then speak your mind. A conversation will never be fully finished until you do so. Otherwise, you’ll get side-tracked, angry toward one another, and it’s just a mess that can be prevented. Never yell at one another, never use foul language. I always feel like you can talk to someone reasonably. Talk in a calm manner, but strongly expression your feelings. Always talk!!! ALWAYS! Send each other e-mails, text messages, saying how much you love each other and how your spouse is always on your mind. Be sweet, be creative. Constantly keep the spark in your relationship! Never go to bed angry…EVER. Tomorrow is unpredictable.

NEVER GIVE UP! NEVER give up on your marriage. I have seen so many people get married and when times get rough, they bail. Couples get through marriage by being together and keeping at it as a team. The only type of marriage I can judge is our marriage. We have a special kind of marriage, because of the military. Military wives are taught to be strong and to never give up. We have a strong unconditional love for our husbands and we are filled with so much pride for them. We understand the saying, “The military wife fights the first battle when she kisses her husband good-bye.” We don’t take our love for granted. We have learned the art of letting the silly, unimportant things go. We know the importance of letting each other now how much we love and appreciate each other. No matter how difficult marriages get, you HAVE to lean on each other for support.

FAITH My husband and I believe in God. I am not saying that everyone has to have God in their marriage to have a successful one. I’m definitely not starting a religious debate here. But, my husband and I didn’t really have God in our marriage at first. Our relationship with God became stronger once he deployed to Iraq. God, man, He’s amazing. He has given me the patience and strength I need to survive deployment. He has been there to heal my wounds, comfort me, and listen to my complaints and gripes. He has brought my husband and I closer together. We both pray, talk to the Lord, and put our marriage into the Lord’s hands. He is the only person we depend on to help us. God will be there for us until the end. I thank Him for all the wonderful blessings he has brought into our lives and into our marriage. If it wasn’t for Him, we wouldn’t be where we are today!!

These are my tips for a successful marriage, based on my marriage. You may have different points/opinions. If so, I’d love to hear about them!
