How can I use an old wine tote?

Betty B

It still looks brand new, but I don't use a tote for wine. Any nifty or crafty ideas to utilize it around the house?

Answer
Is it like an insulated bag? You could use it to pack lunches or water bottles. Or just use it to organize things in the bathroom. Like all the hair accessories could go in it, or all the lotions or nail polishes. Save it for roadtrips where you can put soda and a sandwich in it. It could also hold your household tools in a more attractive way than a drawer. Make an emergency kit out of it for your car with a flashlight, map, gloves and such and keep it in the trunk.

is it weird to use a lunch box in high school?

Emma

im going into high school and have heard that no one uses lunch boxes.. (by "lunch boxes" i mean the insulated bags) is that true?

Answer
Maybe a little but Im in the same position as you! AGH! I always bring my lunch because I hate school food so i bring this little tote kind of a bag. But dont worry about what others think of you if you bring one. If it bothers you too much, you can buy brown paper bags. There usually come in groups of 50 or 100 and they are maybe $3? Its cheap and affordable (:

Does any one have an idea for a lunch bag or tote that will truly keep food hot?

goodwitch

I know there are many insulated and "keep hot" products out there, but I wanted to hear from someone who has actually used one that really works. My husband works outside and does not have access to a microwave or stove. Since it is going to be getting colder, I would like to know he can eat something hot at lunch time.

Answer
What you need is an insulated bag (similar to the one below) or an insulated tote. You should be able to find one at a camping supplies store.

Can I store a bottle with express milk in an insulated nappy bag for a few hours?

I would love to be able to take a bottle with expressed milk to the shops or when we are going somewhere that breastfeeding is a little akward. Can I store the bottle in one of those insulated bottle bags? Can I maybe take the frozen breast milk bags and sterilised bottles and heat when needed? I am not sure how long I can keep it out of the freezer before it is ruined. Thanks :-)

Answer
Yes, you can do this.

Freshly expressed breast milk can be left out at room temperature for at least six hours.

Frozen breast milk can be stored in the fridge for 24 hours once it's thawed. Frozen milk loses some of its immune properties and isn't as resilient to bacterial growth as fresh milk is. It would be fine to tote it along in a small insulated bag (like a lunch kit) with an ice pack to prevent it from thawing too quickly. For both of my kids, I've also brought along a thermos of hot water to heat bottles in once they were ready to eat.

Refer to this chart and the accompanying article - it will help you figure out how to store and transport your milk:

Good luck!

Can I leave opened soy milk unrefrigerated for 8 hours?

I leave for class in the morning, and head to the gym afterward. I'm wondering if I can make my protein shake in the morning before class and leave it in my bag all day long until after my workout.

Answer
Buy yourself a really good thermos. I would then put it in an insulated lunch tote w/ an ice pack. Can't be too safe.

I have one of those lunch bag tote things... it got wet... can I dry it in the dryer or do I have to let it air dry?

Answer
you will need to let it air dry. the dryer is too hot and your tote will melt. just run a towel over it and leave the rest to nature.
