Ice, Ice, Baby

Motherhood has already taught me a lot. For example, each new mom needs a stockpile of good ice packs.

Diapers filled with water and stuck in the freezer make pliable packs.

A baggie filled with 2 parts water and 1 part alcohol makes a slushy pack.

A baggie filled with 2 parts water and 1 part salt makes a slushy and extra cold pack. It's colder than 32 degrees, so be prepared with a towel before placing it on skin.

Enjoy.

Oh yes, motherhood teaches you a LOT of things you never could have imagined! Glad to see you have a sense of humor about it all.
