I made some rice pillows or "warms" as we call them now around here for the boys. They are the neatest thing and I have taken over Gavin's because he doesn't seem to like it much... (I need to make some more) but Carter and I love them.
They are easy to make and then when you are done you heat them up in the microwave for 2 minutes each night before you go to bed and you have this really warm little pillow to cuddle with. They stay warm for 3-4 hours too. Really great for cold feet which I always seem to have. I read on another blog that someone said she was sick with the flu and her "warm" was the only thing that made life worth living.. that cracked me up totally and reminded me of myself. I can totally see myself in that position when I get the flu- I usually get it once a year and I am knocked out for like 5 days (I mean, cannot even get out of bed knocked out).
Anyhow, here are the directions I followed for the litte "warms". Oh, the best part is when you heat them up they totally smell like rice and make your bedroom smell like you are cooking it or something.. Kevin, (again) thinks I am nuts. I have read that you can fill them with other things like corn kernels, etc. but haven't tried that yet. Oh and one other thing is that when you first make them and heat them up they give off quite a bit of steam so they may feel damp when you take them out of the microwave. The more you use them, heat them up and so on that dampness will go away. So.. hello winter and cold toes, we are ready!!
