And there are nine more to add to your list! ;)
Actually I think hat they should give you these commandments when you leave the hospital with your new little bundle!

It won’t be long before you will be wracking your brain to come up with Christmas gifts for the tween/teen and I think that this might be something that she would like. Is their a female anywhere who doesn’t like her bubble baths or time spent singing in the shower?

Juniper Grapefruit - Body Butter by Tillia

Summer might nearly be over (at least where I live), but having this cute little container sitting in the bathroom will certainly remind you of the season and keep your legs soft and silky at the same time.
When was the last time you used a product that wasn’t formulated for your kids? Now it’s […]

Snotballs at Three Kid Circus

I’m kind of feeling bad. Okay just a little bit between the grins. How could I laugh at another weary mom, but that’s exactly what I found myself doing a few minutes ago. Even the title had me laughing. Thank goodness, I don’t have a cold and my kids are old enough that I don’t […]

Tarte Au Citron Honey Bath

There is nothing quite like soaking in a bath full of fragrant bubbles and I even love the color. It’s perfect for fall!

And when I say soaking, I don’t mean shaving your legs or the other necessities of life. Baths are made for relaxing!!

Bathtime for Little Guys/Gals

Pretty Underwear

As a mom, we seem to get caught up in everything that everyone else seems to need and forget about what we might need. And that certainly goes for lingerie. We might have slept in t-shirts as a teenager and whatever undies we could afford, but we really need to take the time to pamper […]

Fruits of Paradise

Well these scented candles work for me, so I don’t think it matters if you are a new mom or a mom with grown-up kids. You still need ways to pamper yourself because the stress.. it never stops. It’s just part of being a mom! But every once in a while you have to […]
