Baby Wipes Forever

Lochlan is no longer a baby and has been potty trained for a while now and I should, at least traditionally, have no use for baby wipes. But I’m here to admit that I just bought a brand new box. On my list of priorities these days, “conserving paper” is right above “inventing a car that runs on pee.” Three years ago year ago (well, exactly 1109 days ago), when I changed a diaper, I would lay out a dozen of them, like I was setting up a game of wipe solitaire. I still have a container in nearly every room and use them now for a variety off-label uses.

Here are just a few...

• Degreasing my phone
• Crushing bugs
• Moistening a temporary tattoo
• Wipe-down the refrigerator handles
• Removing makeup
• Wiping hair off the bathroom sink
• Create a moist mummy hand for picking up a yogurt-soaked cracker
• Giving myself a quick "bath"
• Cleaning dirt off dropped food before eating
• Wiping snot off the window
• Wiping snot off the iPad
• Spot-cleaning my jeans
• Wiping butter off my hands after removing butter soaked toast crust
• Removing the peanut butter from a peanut butter and jelly sandwich
• Removing butter and peanut butter from my sock
• Cleaning puke off a shoe
• Prying a raisin off the bottom of a shoe
• Cleaning a shoe print off the wall

What about you? Do you also use baby wipes for things other than for wiping wee baby bottoms?
