Article: Chances are, you already have a baby-care kit containing necessary supplies such as diapers, snacks, wipes, and toys. To make sure you're always ready to discreetly and safely dispose of your baby's diapers, tuck a few sturdy plastic bags into this kit and make sure you renew your supply daily. Plastic bags with zips are particularly helpful, as they'll keep waste and moisture contained in the event that you have to travel with the bag for a period of time. You can also find scented bags at many baby supply and general retail stores. While your home diaper disposal routine might not include this step, it's essential when you're out of the house. Pop it into one of the bags you've brought along and tightly seal it before looking for an appropriate waste basket to put it in. If you're near a toilet, you can remove and flush any solid waste before doing this in order to minimize bulk and smell. While it may seem like all trash is created equal, think again. Another person's home, a restaurant or office, or out the car window are all unhygienic an inappropriate options. Only get rid of your diaper-containing plastic bag in an outdoor bin or one located in a bathroom. If you're at a friend's house, ask where you can dispose of the diaper. If none of these hygienic options are readily available, you'll have to carry your bag with you until you find one. Disposable diapers pollute the environment if you leave them out, so you'll need to carry your dirty diapers around with you if you're camping, hiking or on some other outdoor adventure. If you're too squeamish to handle this dirty job, use a public campground or well-maintained trail which provides regularly serviced dumpsters.

Pack some sealable plastic bags into your portable diaper kit. Roll the used diaper into one of your plastic bags. Locate a waste bin in an appropriate location. Store soiled diapers in a separate bag if you're in the wilderness.
Article: You will need at least 65 metal bottle caps, acrylic paint, fine paintbrushes, adhesive craft magnets, and paint sealant. Be sure to have thick cardboard and a hot glue gun on hand. They may also be required. You may also use spray paint as a first "primer" coat instead of slowly painting each by hand. If the magnets are too thin, they won't be able to make contact with surfaces and stick properly. Glue squares of cardboard to the inside of the bottle caps if your magnets are too thin. Lay down a solid base coat and let it dry before adding details. Paint at least 31 caps one color for the dates of the month. Paint at least 7 caps a second color, one for each day of the week. Paint at least 12 caps a third color for the names of each month. For special occasions, you can paint the remaining caps additional colors. Or, you can reuse one of the three basic colors. Use a fine brush to paint on your labels. Number each of your date caps 1-31. Write abbreviations on your month and day of the week caps. Paint symbols for special events (like balloons for birthdays or a heart for Valentine's Day). Without the sealant, acrylic can chip away. Wait for the paint to completely dry before sealing and then wait for the sealant to dry before moving on. A spray on sealant will take less time, but a brush on sealant will work fine, too. Cut the magnets into appropriate-sized squares. Remove the tape to reveal the glue side. Press the sticky side of a magnet either into the inside of each bottle cap or on top of the cardboard. The best thing about this method is how easy it is to change how the tiles are laid out. You can spread your calendar over a whole freezer or carefully line it up inside a locker. It's also incredibly easy to transport. Just put the pieces in a small box or bag, and you can take them anywhere.
