a teeny blurb about me

I am a 32 year old first time mom who is continually shocked at how much those baby books and doulas and midwives don't tell you about having and raising kids...let me tell you, it's a lot!

Problem Solved...and Without Spending $35

I have been looking on Amazon for a good, high rated travel bottle warmer. We take lots of road trips, and it's so hard to deal with the little man's liquid needs. We either have to stop at a gas station and get some warm water that is approximately the right temperature (usually by mixing careful amounts of boiling coffee pot dispensed water and freezing soda fountain dispensed water), or we have to take the bottle warmer, which has water in it and gets spilled. So after another round of looking at them, reading the customer reviews, and being dissatisfied with the options, I found one that was rated really high. I read the product description for this 5 star $35 item. Know what it is?

A coffee thermos with a new use.

They tell you to put warm water in this "sterile flask" and it will stay warm for hours, so you just mix your formula with it while in the car, and viola! Presto! Happy baby bottle.

Well shit.

I a.) should have thought of that a year ago and b.) don't need to spend $35 on a coffee thermos when I can get one out of the cabinet and use it!

Problem solved.
