I dusted off my grandma's old Singer sewing machine and have been making 'boo boo bags.' My kids have grown up with these and we all use them frequently, for a variety ailments. For awhile Jacob was having headaches/migraines frequently and the only relief he would get was by putting an 'ice cold bag' (as well call them around here) on his head and laying in a dark room. We have quite an assortment of 'headache bags' both homemade and store bought. I wanted to try making my own and customize them with fun, soft fabric and maybe adding some herbs such as lavender. They are not only good for headaches but sore muscles, sprains, sunburns, bruises, toothache, etc. We keep ours in the freezer but they can also be heated in the microwave. I intend to give them as gifts, but I wanted the opportunity to share something with my blog readers.
Everyone that comments on this post will be entered into a drawing for a free headache bag! I will draw a name on Friday of this week. As long as you live in the US and even if I don't know you-please enter!
Speaking of opportunites to win something...awhile back I posted an entry about an A-B-C playlist (A-B-C MIX) ...while I got a few emails, comments, and responses that people had a playlist to share, I still haven't actually seen anyone's playlist---so that means that contest is still open too!

Love the "ice cold bags". It is all the kids want when they don't feel well, and miraculously, it makes the feel better. I hope to win the contest and receive one of these magical bags.
Wonderful idea!
So, a boo-boo bag sounds pretty good to me about now. Day 5 after surgery and I am just feeling a little human again. Very clever, Lisa!
I could really use one of those for my shoulder about now!!!! :)
Please enter me to win. :>) :>) :>)
