An ode to wetwipes
If you ever told me to write
an ode to a wet wipe
Before I became a mum
I wouldn’t think its much fun
But here I am
Mum to 3-year-old Little Man
All set to type
My heartfelt thanks to a wet wipe
For it has served me well
Protecting from messes and smells
Cleaning those poo-ridden bums
And something sticky on the tum!
I have a pack here and there
Yes, practically everywhere
All around the house and in the car
Never ever too far
In the nappy bag and the pram
It’s just the way I am
So whenever there’s a mess
I don’t have too much stress
There’s loads of variety
Fragranced and fragrance-free
Useful for cleaning this, that and the other
You’ll understand, if you’re a mother
You still ask why all the hype
about a simple wet wipe?
It cleans, it sheens
It’s my instant washing machine!
From tables and chairs
To practically anything, anywhere
If it needs a clean swipe
Swish out a wet wipe!
Who knew that little white wet thing
Could ever be such a blessing?

I cannot image there being a time in my life when I don’t have a packet of wipes in every room! You should check out the prose for thought linky by vevivos.com for this one. Thanks for linking up to #FridayFrolics

Love this! Yes, baby wipes are amazing & I fear that my obsession with them is actually now going to continue long after I stop needing to buy them for little bums!
Thanks so much for joining us on #FridayFrolics. Hope to see you next time.
Nicole
I agree… I’m sure I will continue to keep wipes in every room even after Little Man is all grown up!

Yep baby wipes are the best. I have a friend who doesnt need them for babys bums and she still keeps them round the house ,mainly to clean her surfaces 🙂
