Recycle Baby Food Jars into Christmas Snow Globes Ornaments

I have a very large collection of baby food jars from when my son was a baby and I have been logging them around for the past year and half all over the state. Guess what?! I finally found one good use for them. If you want to recycle your baby food jars then did you know you can make them into Christmas snow globe ornaments. I love mason jars but they are way to big and heavy to be used on my tree so recycling your baby food jars is the best thing. Even if you don't have small children at home you can buy a couple jars for less then dollar.

New Pampers swaddlers and giveaway to celebrate your baby milestone!

Milestones become so important to us as our children grow. You look for them at every turn and you can't wait to see what else they can do. I remember the first time I cut my son hair, which was a complete disaster and I would never do again. My poor baby boy. However, now I also have a beautiful baby girl who I won't have to touch her hair for quiet a while. We will have plenty of new and old milestone go through with my two little ones.
