My daughter Libby has EXTREMELY sensitive skin.  A routine tickle session with her results in hives. Long sleeves and pants make her itch, no matter what I’ve used in the laundry.  So when she takes a bath, she can’t use any of those cutesy bath sets that they make for kids, particularly around the holidays.  She has to have something safe and gentle. 

Enter Johnson’s.  From the day she was born, she’s been bathed in Johnson’s.  The very first bath your baby receives in the hospital is done with Johnson’s Baby Wash.  How comforting that is!   Johnson’s has always been the best choice for babies – but for us, even as they’ve grown up, we still use Johnson’s for all the same reasons:

  • JOHNSON’S® is the #1 choice of hospitals
  • NO MORE TEARS® formula is as gentle to the eyes as pure water
  • Soap-free, dye-free, hypoallergenic and allergy tested Dermatologist and pediatrician tested
  • Rinses easily
  • Gentle enough to use everyday for both girls and boys

That last point is particularly important when it’s a little girl with extremely sensitive skin, too!

Also – just ONE time getting shampoo in her eyes is enough to remind me that we MUST use Johnson’s for her hair – because all hell breaks loose if we don’t!

What’s hard to believe, though, is that Johnson’s has been doing this for FIFTY years! So that means that even MY first bath was probably in Johnson’s.  That’s good, seeing as I also have extremely sensitive skin!

Johnson’s just released a brand new Head-to-Toe Foaming Wash that I simply LOVE.  Getting Zachary to stay still long enough to wash his hair with 1 thing, and his bod with another – not possible.  Johnson’s new Head-to-Toe Foaming Wash makes it SO much easier.  Just pump it into one hand and go to work!  No worrying about things running into his eyes because he’s wiggling around, and no worrying about his skin drying out, which is always a problem in the winter.   With Johnson’s, I don’t have to worry – and that’s probably the BEST thing of all :)

You can pick up Johnson’s Head-to-Toe Foaming Wash, as well as their Bubble Bath & Wash in food, drug and mass-market stores (like you didn’t know that!)

Last year, we were SUPPOSED to go to see the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus, but due to my husband’s inability to ask for directions, we never made it.  I was so disapointed, because my kids had never been to the REAL circus, and here we were, just circling it!

From the first mention of Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! on Nick Jr.’s website, my daughter was hooked.  She loved the games, and couldn’t wait for the show to premier. When it did, she was glued to the screen.  There was something about the sounds, the images – everything.  She just loved it.

Now, we have 2 addicts – Zachary loves Wubbzy too!  So of course, I was thrilled when Mom Central asked us to review the newest Wubbzy DVD, A Little Help from My Friends.

  The DVD features six great episodes, all focused on the important values of friendship. This theme takes center stage as Wubbzy, a fun, lovable, curious little guy and his Wuzzleburg pals search for a lost Wiggle Wrench, escape a runaway Doodleberry Cake, build a Super Robot, teach Walden to boogie, and work hard for Wuzzleburg trophies. Together they discover the importance of positive values like confidence, cooperation, teamwork and above all, the meaning of friendship.  The DVD extras also include two bonus episodes, music video, Kooky Kostume game, activities and sneak peeks.

Plus, I just like it because I get to drive my kids crazy by calling them Koooooooky. LOL  I’ve been exploring the Wubbzy website and got them all signed up for the fun :D

With so many not-so-friendly videos out there, it’s nice to find something that’s kid-friendly, educational and SAFE for kids to watch.  We wub wubbzy!

 

My special thanks to Mom Central for allowing us the opportunity to check out the newest Wubbzy DVD!

I’ll be honest.  I’m extremely protective when it comes to allowing my oldest online in any situation where he’d be able to chat with other people.  The only online he plays, I have full control of his account, and keep it so that he can only talk to me, my mom, my nephew – people we KNOW. 

Perhaps I’ve watched too much Dateline, but the online world for kids is a scary place to me.  To think of what he might be up to if he were online by himself is just too creepy!

That’s why I was so glad when Mom Central asked me to take a look at a site called NSteens.org, a website designed to educate kids about online safety – but not just “don’t talk to strangers” but also covers such topics as cyber-bullying, social networking, and of course, what can happen when you take it offline.

Created by the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children to empower, engage and enducate kids, to encourage them to become responsible online users, NetSmartz and nsteens.org should be your first stop when introducing your children to the Internet. :)

  

As always, my thanks to MomCentral for giving me the opportunity to share this with you.
