Piece of heaven

What may appear to be a pile of fabric brings me peace and happiness every day. Two WONDERFUL people donated rice bags to us to help us keep warm in our cold house. Every night we microwave the bags and put them at the foot of our bed, near our pillows, and in Rosalee's crib. We've gone from needing 6-7 blankets to only needing 3, woo hoo!! Another bonus is Rosalee goes to sleep easier and stays asleep longer. Frequently we'll find her hugging the rice bag tightly in her arms. If you too want one of these all you need is some fabric (or an old mismatched sock), uncooked rice, and thread. Just fill the fabric bag with the rice and then sew it closed. We microwave ours for 1-2 minutes for several hours of warmth.
