Tell Me About Your Bath Time Routine With Baby and Win!

by Christine - From Dates to Diapers on September 10, 2011

What bath-time rituals and routines have you established for your babies?

Around here, Timothy is thrilled when it’s bath-time and both Julia and I are always so excited to enjoy special time with him. We love to sing, splash and play with bubbles. Lots of bubbles!

I was recently sent on a little shopping spree, thanks to BabyCenter, Walmart and Johnson’s Baby. My task was to find items that would enhance our bath-time experience and then share them with you, in celebration of Walmart.com’s Baby Days. Check out what we found…

As you see in the video above, Walmart has a great mix of items to make bath-time fun for both baby and Mommy – or Big Sister, as is our case! In addition to the items I purchased, you can find a wide variety of tubs, bath toys towels, washcloths, bath safety stuff, bath ropes, bubble bath, and even some pretty cute hooded bath towels, all at affordable prices. What else would you expect from Walmart? After all, it’s your one stop shop!

So, be sure to head to Walmart.com for their Baby Days sale, now thru September 19th.

To celebrate Walmart’s Baby Days, I get to offer you some fabulous prizes! Leave me a comment on this post, telling me about your bath-time routine and rituals, and I will pick three winners on September 17th at 9pm (PST) to each receive one of the following prizes:

  • $50 grocery Walmart gift card
  • Aveeno gift basket
  • Johnson’s baby gift basket

Now, go create some memories and have some fun with your baby in the bath!

Rub a Dub

by Christine - From Dates to Diapers on April 4, 2009

Bath-time is always a very fun time around here. My little guys can play in the tub for hours…literally. I finally drain the tub only after their fingers and toes have turned to “gator skin” and they smell oh-so clean!

bath-time

Perhaps having fun toys with which to play is one of the reasons why my kiddos love baths so much. TheBath Goods from Boon are some of our favorites – right up there with our Munchkin bath toys.

These fun toys make bath time a creative and playful experience while the Flo (also from Boon) provides a simple solution to several bath time challenges…. This unique product diverts the flow of water, creating a gentle waterfall, while providing a protective faucet cover to help guard against injury. This Water Deflector/Protective Faucet Cover also functions as a bubble bath dispenser. Flo attaches easily to the bathtub faucet with a spring-activated grip that requires no assembly or special installation. When the water is turned on, it’s diverted into a stream that extends up to 12 inches in front of the faucet, creating a gentle waterfall and making rinsing hair easy. Easy is good.

When you’re all done in the tub, be sure to grab the Kuster Bath Toy Store. This Toy Store was designed for scooping up all of your toys for draining and storing after bath time fun.

But, what is a bath without the bubbles? Johnson’s Baby products are some of our favorites. My mom used these products when I was a baby and every time I give my babies a bath, I’m taken back. The newest products in the Johnson’s Baby line are the Baby Bubble Bath and Wash and Head-to-Toe Foaming Wash – products our bath times just can’t be without! Both are Dermatologist and pediatrician-tested and are gentle enough to use every day.

Tell me about your baby’s bath time and you can win a Johnson’s Baby gift pack, worth $75! This pack contains Bubble Bath & Wash, Head-to-Toe Foaming Wash, and several of the Johnson’s Baby classics (No More Tears shampoo, PINK lotion, Powder, Desitin, Shea & Cocoa Butter Gel, etc.

Big Bubblin’ Stars

by Christine - From Dates to Diapers on March 18, 2009

For us, here in the Young household, we view bath time as quite the event. There is nothing more fun for the kiddos than splashing around with tons of bubbles and lots of toys.

Imagine my surprise when Johnson’s Baby came to me, at the beginning of the year, and said that they wanted me ~ yes, little ol’ me ~ to consider becoming the spokesmom for a YouTube campaign they were launching this month! Of, course I said yes and am proud to say that just this week the campaign launched and the contest began.

Find out all about the Big Bubblin’ Stars Contest at Johnson’s Baby channel. Yup, you’ll see me there, but more importantly you can enter to win $10,000!!

So, head over there now and upload an under three-minute video that shows us what bath time with your little one (ages 6month to 3 years) is all about. The grand prize winner will be awarded $10,000 to start a college fund, and the top 3 will have the opportunity to be selected as the new hosts of the JOHNSON’S® Baby YouTube channel.

Let me know when you enter your video, so I can go take a look!

Ooh, and here’s mine:
