Charlotte's First Bubble Bath

To celebrate Charlotte turning 21-months old, I wanted to take Charlotte swimming this afternoon, but wasn't sure we'd have enough time. So instead, I plopped her in the tub at 4 pm and let her experience the joys of her first bubble bath.

You've never seen this child so excited! It was crazy and she stayed in the tub for 45 minutes. The only reason she got out was because I made her. Otherwise, who knows how much longer she would have played with the bubbles. They just never got old to her.

I am still camera-less, so this picture came from my cell phone.

Oh, and if anyone knows where I can find an awesome deal (less than $400) on a Nikon D40 (with a lense), please let me know. Hubby recently informed me that I could have this camera for Mother's Day, but that I was responsible for finding the best deal.

    We do bubble baths quite frequently around here... oh - and have you see the tablets that change the color of the water - also a hit!! :) Not to mention the Crayola bath colors (put those on her 2nd bday present list) I LOVE them!! :)

    Cute photo! I'm ashamed to admit we do bubble baths every night since our water is a terrible color (river water) and the bubbles camoflauge it - but Esme still loves playing with the bubbles.

    Bath crayons are fun, too. And we have bathtub letters - foam letters that stick to the side of the tub when wet. Anything to get the focus off the brown water... :)

    I was just reminiscing with Charlotte about when she was a baby and found this post. I realized that Mary has been taking bubbles baths since about 10 months old. And they can both still stay in the tub for 30-45 minutes every night!

Giveaway: Bake Me A Wish

Image
This giveaway is closed. When I came home from running errands recently, I saw a big box sitting on my doorstep. As I got closer, the anticipation built and then I realized it was a Vanilla Bean Cake from Bake Me A Wish! Woo hoo! This was a review I knew my husband would enjoy participating in. The Vanilla Bean cake from Bake Me a Wish! came packed in a cooler and ice pack because it is perishable. It took self control, but I put it in the fridge straight away and waited patiently for my husband to come home so we could celebrate life. When we finally got to sample the cake, I put some candles on it so Charlotte could practice blowing them out. We are slowly getting ready for the big day of her birthday party and have never put candles on a cake for her before. As I was enjoying my slice of the Vanilla Bean Cake, Bruce and I brainstormed when this type of cake service might be useful. And here is the list we came up with: When you want a gourmet cake, but don't have acces...

Win Free Cereal

This giveaway is closed. Winners will be announced later this weekend. I've definitely been on the giveaway wagon recently and am glad to be participating in the Fall Bloggy Giveaways Carnival. For this giveaway, I have FOUR (yes, you read that right - 4 winners!) full-price coupons for a new cereal from General Mills. Per their marketing, this cereal " combines great-tasting chocolatey puffs with vanilla puffs, a classic combination that kids love. Even better, Cocoa Puffs Combos is made with whole grain and is a good source of Calcium and Vitamin D." I love cereal. I could eat it for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and as a snack in between all of those. I am particularly fond of Lucky Charms. The crunchy combined with the sweet marshmallows gets me every time. All you have to do to enter is tell me what your favorite cereal is and leave some way for me to contact you, either through a blog or e-mail. This giveaway is open to US residents only (because I don't think t...

Note to Self

This giveaway is closed. Winners will be announced later this weekend. Warning: Since I typically have a family-friendly blog, I want to let my readers know that this post is not safe for little eyes. Have you ever sat down with a new friend and found you stayed up way too late talking about every subject under the sun? Discussing religion, careers, and yes, even sex, even though you've only known each other for a very short period of time? That is what it was like for me to read Note to Self - On Keeping a Journal and Other Dangerous Pursuits , by Samara O'Shea. Once I started it, I felt like Samara and I were just hanging out on my couch, sipping decaf lattes and having a conversation. (Okay, Samara might be sipping something harder, but I'm still nursing.) It was that easy to read. The basic premise of her newest book is teaching people how to write in a journal, by sharing her own journal entries. Personally, she wrote for therapy, sharing "A journal is an effecti...
