Hailey’s Hot Take

Please. PLEASE. Don’t take this post too seriously 😅 Don’t feel the need to educate me. I’m SO aware of the subject, but I feel a very small kind of way, and I’d like to share it. And I BET, within some of you, you can agree with me.

So. Into it we go.

I miss crappy plastic bags from the grocery store.

There. I said it. I really mean it, too.

I used those things for absolutely everything.

Need to send something extra to school with a kid?

Need to leave something on someone’s doorstep?

Got a smaller amount of garbage to gather up?

Packing up for the lake or for an emergency?

Kid has an accident away from home?

Kid goes swimming and has a wet bathing suit?

GRAB A GROCERY BAG!!!

When I find myself elbow deep in wild diaper blowouts, I call out for a bag to just dump wipes into, and what comes running? An entire white garbage bag. For ONE diaper. But ONE diaper that neeeeeds to go outside asap. So what’s a mom to do??? Put it in a paper bag? Or a cloth bag??

*sigh*

I miss you, environmentally-destroying plastic bags…

I hear you! There were so many things I used them for. But for diaper blowouts now, I use doggy poop bags. I have a dog so I always have a supply but you can buy them cheap at the dollar store and they work like a charm.
