Homemade Owie Ointment

These days, homemade items are becoming more and more popular. Most people have found they can quickly and inexpensively make most of the products they buy from the store with items they have in their home. This is great for many reasons but mainly because you know exactly what is going into your products. For many households essential oils have been replacing store bought products in their homes for years now! Everything from all-purpose cleaners to acid reflux relief comes from those tiny bottles.

Homemade Owie Ointment

One of our favorite things to make at home is homemade Owie Ointment or homemade Polysporin. You can really use a lot of items to make this a helpful ointment.

INGREDIENTS:

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Melt Shea butter (or coconut oil) by placing a small amount (1-2 teaspoons) into a glass bowl. Set that glass bowl over boiling water until Shea butter is fully melted.
  2. Remove from heat and allow the Shea butter to cool for about a minute. Then add 4 drops each of your essential oils. (do half of this if using on a child under the age of 18 months)
  3. Pour your mixture into the container you plan to store it in. We typically use a lip balm tray and it lasts us well over 6 months.
  4. Allow to cool and cover. Store at room temperature in a dark place.

This is a great combination to promote healing. Shea butter (or coconut oil) is rich in antioxidants and deeply moisturizes skin while Lavender and Tea Tree calm redness, reduce pain, and clear out bacteria. Vitamin E oil is known for its ability to reduce scaring and promote quick healing. Your boo boos will be healed in no time!

NOTE: If you want to make a large batch of this, simply double the recipe and store in an airtight container.

The Ultimate Before Baby Freezer Cooking List (Fill the Freezer February)

Have your meals taken care of with this Ultimate Before Baby Freezer Cooking List! The post includes a great printable recipe and shopping list pack.

The time is quickly approaching for our new baby’s arrival! Baby is due to arrive around the middle of March so I’ve dubbed the month of February as “Fill the Freezer February”. Clever, right? 😛  Last month during the January Declutterathon, I made a bit of room in our freezers so I can fill it up with plenty of freezer meals to keep us well nourished for a while.

Preparing meals isn’t one of my favourite things to do at the best of times, so I know I have to make it as easy as possible for myself once the baby is born. I want to avoid as much eating out as possible but I also want well rounded meals.

So today, I present to you, Fill the Freezer February with my Ultimate Before Baby Freezer Cooking List! My plan of attack is to make the meals I have picked throughout the entire month of February. I want to avoid a big one day cooking session because my body is just not handling extra standing as well these days. Once I create the meal, I will do a post for you with a photo and the recipe.  How does that sound?

Whether or not you have a new addition arriving in your family, I’d love for you to join me. After all, in the long run, freezer cooking can be a great money and time saver.

If you’d like to join me, today I will provide my list of meals and snacks I plan on making plus, a free downloadable Ultimate Freezer Cooking pack. The pack includes a grocery list, recipes and labels!

Here’s what I have planned to fill my freezer. All recipes will be included in the Freezer cooking Pack unless otherwise noted:

Breakfasts

  • Waffles (1 batch)
  • French Toast (1 loaf)
  • Maple Oatmeal packets

Lunches:

  • Chicken Noodle Soup (2 containers)
  • Cream of chicken soup (1 container)
  • Hamburger soup (1 container)

Dinners:

Snacks:

That list should give us over 30 meals, taking care of breakfast, lunch and dinner for a while. Plus, there are quite a few snacks. Since I am not making everything in one day, I didn’t have a budget in mind, because I will pick things up while they are on sale with my regular grocery shopping.

Get the downloadable Ultimate Freezer Cooking pack here.

Also, I bought a set of these Hands-Free baggy racks. They are so handy!! The best purchase you can make if you want to up your freezer cooking game.
