BUBBA BUBBA BUBBLE BATH

Since moving into a multilevel home, other than the stair climbing workout, a few other daily challenges have crept up. And let's face it, the stair climbing is the only exercise aside from yoga and 1-2 short walks a week that I'm getting these days. It's a good thing. But something that presented as a trick was how to manage bath time when we reside in the basement and the only tub in the house is two levels up. Thank goodness for big sinks people. My mom's deep kitchen sink has proved to be the perfect cleansing hub. I'm sure it makes Miss Mary a little bonkers that I'm always bathing my children right after dinner in the middle of her kitchen while she's trying to chillax for the evening... but she' good to put up with me. Heaven knows I love a good bedtime routine for my kids.

So my solution to avoid running around the house - upstairs and downstairs - and gathering all the bath time necessities every night... the bath box.

It stows away under the sink nicely and has all the necessities. Diapers in each child's size, brushes and combs, detangler, baby oil, washcloths, powder, and of course baby lotions. I'm a weirdo when it comes to smells. It's a topic that deserves it's own entire post. So don't think it bazarro that I have a different scent of lotion and body wash for each of my kids.

 Layla scent is J&J's Shea and Coco Butter. Rider rocks the J&J's Vanilla Oatmeal. I'm still up in the air about which scent the newest arrival will use. I had better decide soon. Time's a ticking. 

Anyway, it keeps bath time organized and simple. I just whip out the box and a pair of PJ's and before I know it everyone is bathed, lotioned, and ready for bed by 7:30 pm - sparing me the post dinner run around chaos.
