Bath Time Essentials

When Gracie was a newborn, she was totally unsure about bath time. Sometimes she liked it, sometimes she screamed her head off the whole time. But somewhere around 4 months she started LOVING bath time. She has so much fun in the bath and now she learned to splash to it’s reallllly fun. LOL! I end up getting a whole bath, too because she splashes so much. Anyways, I thought I would share some of our favorite bath time products.

1//Tubby Todd Soap– I did a full review on this soap here. I just love it! Love the smell, love how sudsy it is, love how long it lasts.

2//SoapSox – Guys- these things are amazing! They were actually on Shark Tank, too! It’s a 2-in-1 toy because it’s an awesome stuffed animal play toy, but also a sudsy wash cloth scrub! It’s seriously an awesome invention. One of those things that makes me go “umm why didn’t I think of this!!”.

It makes bath time so fun because while I’m washing Gracie, she thinks it’s hilarious having this animal all over her. It’s really easy to use in the bath. You actually “feed” the stuffed animal the soap. I’m serious. Each one has a mouth that you put the soap in. You can use your favorite bar of soap or liquid soap. I, of course, use Tubby Todd in ours. It’s the best soap to use because it’s the soap that gets the most sudsy (in my opinion!).

After you put the soap in, wet the SoapSox with water and work it into a lather. Then, put your fingers in the little side finger pouches and scrub! It’s so great!

After bath time, you can toss your SoapSox in the washer on gentle and then tumble dry. Now, it’s a fun toy to carry around and play with. 2-in-1 fun! I love how they are machine washable- it makes it so easy to clean. I love all the animals you can get. We have Harper the Hippo and Hunter the Alligator. Gracie loves them!

SoapSox is actually coming out with a brand new line called SoapPal. These are smaller animals (and super adorable) that can be fed liquid soap! They are so cute, I can’t wait to try one!

Also, I’ve teamed up with SoapSox for a great giveaway!! We are giving away a SoapSox to one lucky winner! Go to my instagram for all the details. It’s super easy to enter!

3//Bath cups– These are so simple, yet Gracie loves playing with them! 5 cups come in the pack and they are all different colors and sizes. I love how they all stack into each other so it saves space. You can stack the cups, put things inside them, scoop up water, and watch the water come out the bottom. Each cup has a different shape on the bottom so water comes out differently. Gracie loves scooping up water and watching it come out the bottom. So cute.

4//Mermaid Towel– I know I’ve mentioned this towel on the blog before. I just love it. I love the color, and especially love how BIG it is. All of our other bath towels don’t fit Gracie anymore. This one is perfect!

5//Nail Clippers – I always clip Gracie’s nails after the bath. They are so soft and she is so relaxed so she doesn’t really notice. I love these clippers the best!

SiliZoo Baby Food Freezer Tray

If you’ve been following some of Gracie’s monthly updates you know that I love making Gracie’s food at home! We have the Baby Brezza machine which we LOVE, but I’ve been having a hard time finding the perfect way to store the baby food! We had tried the individual freezer cups that fit into an ice tray, but we hated them. They never closed right and took so long to get the frozen food out of each cup. So.. I’ve been trying to find the perfect way to store the food and I’ve finally found it!!!

This perfect food storage is called the SiliZoo Baby Food Freezer Tray! It’s seriously awesome.

The SiliZoo tray allows you to store 7 portions of baby food. Sometimes I’ll store all of the same type of food and sometimes I mix it up! The tray is made out of a really durable silicone that is FDA approved. There are no BPA, phthalates, allergens or toxins in the tray. So it’s totally safe!

The tray is freezer safe, oven save, microwave safe, and dishwasher safe! That’s incredible. It also comes with a lid that is super easy to get on but it clicks tight around the edges so you know the food is staying fresh. This is one of my favorite parts. The old cups we used to use to store food also had lids but the lids never stayed on when they got cold in the freezer. With the SiliZoo tray, the lid locks in place! I love it. It’s also super easy to get off, though!

One of my favorite parts of the SiliZoo is how easy it is to get the food out! The non-stick silicone allows you to just pinch the bottom of the tray and pop out the food cube. It’s really that easy. Just pinch the bottom of one of the food portions and it just slides out! Remember, the tray is also microwavable so if you need to pop it in the microwave to defrost the food, you can do that too! Gracie usually only eats one serving at a time, so I always just pop out one and defrost it by itself.

You know what else this tray is used for? Literally anything. Here is a great list of other ways to use your SiliZoo:

+Freeze portions of breast milk

+Freeze sauces

+Make ice pops

+Bake cupcakes or muffins

+Use it as a snack tray for toddlers

+Ice tray

+Put different color paint in it for an easy painting craft!

+Use it as a bead organizer for a teen girl

Seriously, the possibilities are endless. I would love to see how you use your SiliZoo!

The only bad thing about this tray is that one is not enough! I think I’ll need about 5 of these because they are that useful!

Bloom Baby Wipes

Bloom Baby Sensitive Wipes Review - Now in TARGET! Read more at gracefulmommy.com

Ever since Gracie was born, I’ve been on the hunt for the best wipes. I tend to lean more towards the natural, least ingredient wipes out there, but have also tried generic brands, too. I’ve tried lots of different kinds… including Water Wipes, Pampers, and Huggies. I haven’t LOVED any particular brand until I tried Bloom Baby Sensitive Wipes. I did receive a box in exchange for my thoughts, but these opinions are completely my own. I did a lot of research to find the best wipes, and I kept stumbling upon this brand. So I had to give them a shot and Bloom Baby was kind enough to send some over!

The first thing I love about these are the price for what you’re getting. You get a huge box of wipes (640) with 80 wipes coming in each pack. I just love how the packs are bigger than other wipe companies. Usually about 60 wipes come in a pack, but with Bloom Baby you get more!

I love the ingredients in Bloom Baby wipes. They are safe for rash and eczema prone skin because of the all natural ingredients inside. They are made with hydro-pure water with no added fragrance. I love how they are made with water, but not ONLY water. I tried water wipes (which are made of 99% water), and they just did not get the “job” done. I felt like I had to use a million wipes. But with Bloom, they definitely work, but are safe from all the nasty chemicals!

The Bloom wipes are also very moisturizing because they contain lotion that is meant for sensitive skin. Gracie doesn’t have overly sensitive skin, but certain things will cause a few bumps. So, I like knowing I’m using the minimum irritants on her precious skin.

I like comparing them to Pampers wipes, just cause that’s what I had been using. With Bloom Baby sensitive wipes, you also get larger wipes. I also like the texture on the Bloom Baby wipes. I feel like it helps grab.. ya know.. the stuff better than other wipes. When you’re changing a lot of diapers, you start to get REALLY picky on what your using. EFFICIENCY, PEOPLE.

Last but not least, you get an awesome free travel clutch in each box! These are so handy to have around. I love throwing this in the diaper bag or even keeping one in the car for when I run out.

Bloom Baby actually just announced that they are going to be launching in TARGET on April 7th!! How exciting is that! I’ll definitely be picking up my next box at Target. Bloom Baby wipes are available online at target.com. To see if they are available in your nearest target go to the product page and it will tell you the nearest store for a pick-up or you can find them in other stores by clicking the “find in another location”! I can’t wait for you to try these!
