Good Clean Fun

One of the things the 
girls look forward to when 
stay overnight is a
BUBBLE BATH
in my jetted tub.
I have a bench in there
and I sit and watch while they play.
Sometimes it is all three girls
but last time it was
SweetCheeks & Ria.
I love the giggles and snorts of laughter 
as bubbles fill their nose.
They insist something is moving around
under the bubbles!
Do you want to know 
what I use for a
SUPER DUPER BUBBLE BATH?
Can you keep a secret?
Promise?
OKAY! HERE IT IS!
Put it in a pretty decanter
and you are all set.

Here's what is great about Dreft.
It is made for sensitive skin.
It will not cause a rash.
Some bubble baths are linked
to urinary tract infections
but this is not an irritant.
It smells GREAT.
You can use it for shampoo
and your little one will
smell fresh and sweet
and their skin feels like silk 
after you rinse them off.
THE BONUS?
LOTS OF BUBBLES.
Which reminds me....
I better go check on those two.
It's getting deep in there.
Whew- almost drained-
just a few bubbles left.
WHAT?
WHO ARE YOU AND
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
~Look how hard he is trying to look innocent~
Maybe those girls were right-
Maybe there WAS someone moving
around in there!

    Girls are fabulous!

  6. Good Morning Diana, Your girls are having so much fun. Of course, grandma is having fun taking pictures. All little ones love bubble baths whether they are a boy or girl. Our boys are now to the point that they want to take showers. I guess we can't keep them little forever even though we might like to. Have a great day. Hugs and Prayers from your Missouri Friend.

  20. Well I must say I never would've thought to use Dreft for a bubble bath! You answered my questions too. I was just thinking, would that be safe??? It definitely created a lot of bubbles. I'm sure the girls had a blast! Now...to clean the tub. No fun.

  24. Diana,

  34. What a great idea! We had lots of bubble baths when my girls were little, in my big jetted tub. I used Dreft for my laundry at the time, but it never occurred to me to use it for a bubble bath. Guess I'll save that nugget for when I have grandkids myself! :)

    Debbie

    Oh, and cute pictures, as always! :)

  35. What a sweet post. I love coming here. It always makes me smile. Thank you for the Dreft tip. I never think there are enough bubbles when my 2 grand daughters are over. They are going to loooove their next bubble bath!! And the giggles are the best!!

  36. I remember bathing with my cousin. We never had that many bubbles though!

    ReplyDelete
  37. Good to know about the Dreft. Even big girls like bubble baths. I will pass it on to my daughter for the new baby on the way too.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Those girls are having a great time. Awesome bubbles! I will have to try that for myself. Nothing like turning on the jets in our tub to REALLY make some bubbles!

    Guess I will have to get a yellow ducky!

  41. Never heard of this, but it might be something that isn't sold in Canada.

  42. We used to do the very same thing when we would sleep over my grandmother's house. Regular tub though... green! She would use Mr. Bubbles, and baby powdered us when we got out and were dry. Funny, the things you remember and cherish.

    DREFT!!! Who knew??....

    ReplyDelete
  43. Adorable!!! Those girls must have so much fun spending the night there!! That's a great bubble bath secret...you know I am doing it! LOVE it!!!

  44. Well now that looks like fun...even at my age! They are so darling!

    ReplyDelete
  45. we also have a jetted tub but ALWAYS make the mistake of putting in too much soap so within seconds of turning on the jets you are almost suffocated by all the bubbles...the Boss usually has to stand guard spraying in cold water to contain them inside the tub....We might learn one of these days to go light on the bubbles,.....
    the girls look like they have a ball......

    ReplyDelete
  46. Hi Diana! OH, what little cuties up to their chins in bubbles! I'm sure your time with them is filled with laughs. I'm glad to know this about Dreft as I love bubble baths and just can't seem to find something gentle. Thanks for your kind words.
    Be a sweetie,
    Shelia ;)

  47. DREFT? Who knew?
    And how lucky are
    those two to have
    a nana who indulges
    their bath whims?!

    Too, too sweet!

  48. Well live and learn, I never knew you could use Dreft for bubble baths. Those girls sure are having a ball.Lucky them to have such a sweet and fun Nana.

    ReplyDelete
  49. I tried it before when you posted and it does work great! It even cleans the bathroom floor - because water gets splashed all over it and once it's towel dried it's nice and clean. LOL

  50. Oh my goodness, you are just TOO clever, how ever did you hear about this?

    ReplyDelete
  51. Cute pics of the girls having fun.
    One of the joys of being a grandparent having the grands overnight.

    I never would have thought of using dreft as bubble bath.

    ReplyDelete
  52. That is a lot of bubbles.
    The girls will always remember their baths at Nanna's I bet!

    ReplyDelete
  53. that's going on my list. I love all the bubbles but they seem to fade long before the girl wants to be done with her bathing. Thanks for the tip D.

  54. Adorable! You don't have to say, I know you jumped in also.
    Thanks for the Dreft tip.

  55. Too cute!!!
    My kids used to cry when it was time to get out of the tub lol
    That's where they used to get popsicles when they were little LMHO - so they wouldn't drip them all over the house
    God I was a lunatic!

  61. I love bubbles! So much fun! We honeymooned in a place in Cape Cod famous for their jacuzzis. The one in our room was 5 feet by 7 feet - no kidding! I slipped under the water because I couldn't reach my feet to the opposite side! It was great! We flooded that thing with bubble bath that they provided and had a blast bubble fighting, swimming and, well, this is a family post! ====:O Anyway, I love bubbles! xoxo, Leena

  63. I know it's been 6 years, but in case anyone's looking here for tips, please know this: Dreft IS NOT a good bubble bath! (Or shampoo!!)

    Dreft got its reputation along with other light duty detergents when both they and bubble bath were a new thing -- the 1930s and 1940s. Swerl even focused much of its advertising on its use as bubble bath. But THESE PRODUCTS HAVE CHANGED FORMULAS many times since then. Dreft is less foamy and less mild to skin now.

    The only reason it made so much foam in the pictures was that it was used in a jetted tub with the jets running continuously or repeatedly at intervals. The suds in a HE liquid like that are designed to break quickly. Use Dreft in a non-jetted tub and you'll be disappointed in how quickly the bubbles break. Plus the nonionic surfactants in it are harsh to skin and mucous membranes such as eyes and genitals.
