SpongeBob Ice Pack

June 4, 2014 By Chelsea Lipford Wolf 6 Comments

Get it? Like SpongeBob SquarePants? Anyway…I found this neat little trick in one of those Fwd: Fwd: Fwd: Fwd: kind of emails and thought it’d come in handy!

You take a new or old sponge (I used one that was ready to be decommissioned from dish service) and fill it with water.

Then you place in a resealable plastic baggie and set in the freezer. Leave it in there until the next time you have a sore muscle or boo-boo.

Use it like any other ice pack to soothe your aches and pains. But when it starts to melt, the sponge will hold the water! You won’t have to worry about it spilling out or cleaning up after!

Anyone else have tricks or tips for homemade ice packs?

    I put some of the water absorbing crystals that are used to keep moisture in soil (sold at gardening centers and garden department at stores like Walmart) into a zipper bag and add water. The crystals swell up and get jelly-like then I put them in the freezer. You can use any size baggie then have just the right size ice pack. Don’t make them too full and they will mold around a knee,ankle or wherever the injury is.

    …as a diabetic I have to use insulin and with every re-supply my insulin comes packed with frozen “reusable” cold paks! I save them up during the year and give them away during our summer rummage sales. The bags are a heavy plastic and can be re-frozen many many times!

      That’s a great way to reuse what you’ve got, Ralph!

Lookie! It’s a shelf for your bookies! 🤣Build Lookie! It’s a shelf for your bookies! 🤣Building a shelf unit custom for ANY space in your home is so simple and can be done over and over again to add much needed storage aka sanity! The kids were running all over the house at bedtime trying to find a book to read because we had them stashed in baskets and shelves in several different rooms. So I took advantage of this space in the hall next to a closet to create a central location for their books and some of mine too! Plus it adds a little character to an otherwise blah space!🙌🏻

3D art install in my girls’ girly bedroom!🦋😍Love this $13 pack of butterflies that comes with everything you need to fill a large wall! And it only takes 30 minutes!🙌🏻 Putting the link to the butterflies in my bio! (https://amzn.to/3VmfZsB)

First step is to layout the flow of your fluttering butterflies with the large and medium sizes from the pack, leaving room for the small ones. Then fill in spaces with the small size and pat yourself on the back! So easy!
The whole Wolfpack has been staying at my parents’ house on the river for the past week while our hardwood floors are being refinished. Since the kids had the whole week off of school it has really felt like a vacation! Complete with a sunny Sunday boat ride after Mass!🥰🚤☀️Enjoy the rest of your weekend! 😘
