Johnson’s Baby BEDTIME Bubble Bath & Wash Review & Giveaway

April 14, 2010 By Mom Spark 151 Comments

::GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED::  Congrats to Dana, Christine Sarkauskas, and Tamara B.!

One of the most challenging tasks I have faced as a parent is getting my little ones to sleep. Having a regular bedtime routine definitely helps my children wind down and relax, which makes drifting off to sleep much easier. Let’s face it, if our babies and toddlers aren’t sleeping well, we’re not sleeping well either, so finding effective ways to lull our little ones to sleep should be top priority.

Like most families, one of our bedtime routines is having a nice, warm bath before reading time.   For the last couple of weeks, we have been trying out the Johnson’s BEDTIME Bubble Bath & Wash, which is designed to help babies sleep better.  The BEDTIME Bubble Bath & Wash includes the Johnson’s reliable NO MORE TEARS® formula and is soap-free, dye-free, hypoallergenic, as well as allergy and dermatologist-tested.  My toddler has very dry, sensitive skin, and the wash does not irritate or dry out his skin at all.  The lavender scent is also very calming and pleasant, and not at all overpowering like some baby washes.

Sweet Nursery Dreams

November 28, 2009 By MeganS 5 Comments

Now that it has been confirmed and confirmed again, I get to start dreaming about everything baby. And everything baby includes nursery!

(note: nursery is in italics because when I say nursery, I don’t say it, I sing it!)

Nursery! Nursery! Nursery!

Okay. It is out of my system. I promise to try and refrain. Italics can get hard to read, some say they even make them dizzy. So for those who are easily dizzied… Nursery.

As of today and according to my Doctor’s best guess I am six weeks and 3 days pregnant. That means I have until July 14th of 2010 to get a nursery ready for our third baby.

That seems like forever away, but when I think about all the work that will have to go into this nursery, it makes me want to start writing lists and shouting commands at my dear, sweet, patient husband.

It is not just decorating a nursery this time around. This time around we will have more babies than we will have rooms. That means we have to transition our youngest, P,  who still sleeps in his crib, into his big brother’s room. Then we have to transition him from his crib into a toddler bed. That way we can transition the crib back into the nursery in time for the baby’s arrival. And all this needs to be done with out making P jealous and resentful of the new baby. Got all that? That is a lot of transitioning! Thirty three weeks and four days… holy shiz. I shouldn’t blogging, I should be Googling transition! [Read more...]
