MEGAN’S MOM QUOTE OF THE WEEK: “I’ll cut my grass with scissors before I get pregnant again”
If you’ve ever found yourself with a basement or attic full of infant shoes and clothes you’re going to love this idea.
A husband and wife in Oregon decided to design baby shoes that are made completely out of biodegradable materials. Once the kid outgrows them you just toss them into a boiling pot of water and POOF! They’re gone. They claim they’re still strong enough to last a few years just incase you have another baby who might need them. But what a great idea! I want to do this with all the things in my house that we don’t use anymore. Just throw them in a pot and turn them into vapor.
Toilet paper does seem to be a much brighter white than anything else. How do they do that?
The raw paper starts out just like any other paper… as wood pulp. Then they manufactures bleach that wood pulp with hydrogen peroxide or chlorine to make it look much whiter.
While the bleaching process is more of an aesthetic thing for looks it does also remove a substance called lignin from the pulp which makes the paper soft. Because you want that soft feel with toilet paper. No one wants to wipe with printer paper. Ouch.
