Johnson's Baby Shower Blog Tour

Have you ever noticed that all your friends get pregnant in waves? I think in the last two months, at least three friends have had babies and several others have found out they are pregnant.

What that means is lots of baby showers. Johnson's products are always my go-to gift. With products like PINK Baby Lotion, Gold Baby Shampoo, Head-To-Toe Wash, Baby Powder, and Desitin, I can create a perfect gift basket for moms-to-be. I usually buy a hooded towel, a pack of wash clothes, and pack everything into a bathroom basket for the shower gift.
When my son was a baby (and even still), we always had a stock of Johnson shampoo and lotion in our bathroom. I love the light scent and no-tear formula. Plus, with his sensitive skin, I could trust that it was gentle enough for daily use.

Recently, Johnson's expanded its Bedtime line with a new Bedtime Bubble Bath Wash formulated with Naturalcalm essences, a blend of soothing aromas to help babies sleep better. We've been using it for the past two weeks, and my 5 year old loves the smell. It's a wonderful addition to our bathtime routine.
I also learned that Johnson products can serve a dual purpose. Baby powder can be used as a deodorant or a dry shampoo. (I know I've used it on days when I'm in a hurry and accidentally used too much conditioner or hair tamer that left a greasy look to my poor hair.) Baby oil can be used as a shaving cream, and, of course, everyone can use the Head-to-Toe Wash and Shampoo.

I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour campaign by Mom Central on behalf of Johnson’s and received samples of Johnson’s Baby products to facilitate my review.

Bedtime Wishes

Our bedtime routine includes reading silly poetry books, to "get the giggles out" before going to sleep. Some of our favorites are Where the Sidewalk Ends, Falling Up, and It's Raining Pigs and Noodles.

One of the the poems is about Lester, the wish collector. Lester only uses his wishes to wish for wishes, and wishes, and more wishes. He does nothing with his life, except sit and count his "wealth," until he finally dies.

And they counted the lot and found that not
A single one was missing.
All shiny and new--here, take a few
And think of Lester as you do.
In a world of apples and kisses and shoes
He wasted his wishes on wishing.

After reading this, I questioned GM about what he would use his wish for. His answer was sweet and simple. "I wish that you would stay here and snuggle." It was so cute. And, I couldn't deny his wish, so I stayed a little longer and gave him all the extra snuggles he could want. I couldn't wish for anything else either.
