Want a bit of good clean fun?

There must be a point in your life when bathtime stops being about splashing and fun and starts being about relaxation and pampering. Sometimes when I give my little ones their bath, I think I am missing a trick with my own routine. As much as I love just lying there in warm, scented water letting my troubles float away, how great would it be just sometimes to recapture a little bit of that wild, youthful abandon that often results in a somewhat wet floor.

Crazy Soap from Kids Stuff very definitely aligns with the fun side of bathing.

We were sent some products from the Crazy Soap range to try out.

The video shows us trying out Bath Goo, Fun Soap and Body Paint.

The Bath Goo was fantastic. It had a very unusual texture that seemed to invite you to plunge your fingers in. It smelled very fruity and bubbled up beautifully in the water to create long lasting bubbles.

The Squirty Fun Soap was amazing. It did leave our water a little bit scummy but was worth putting up with that for the novelty of having soap that could be shaped and bounced!

It was quite difficult to produce artworks with any precision using the Body Paint but for a more general colourful effect, it was great. It washed off very cleanly leaving the skin feeling soft.

We did have a lot of fun with the Crazy Soaps. Will I be tempted to swap my pampering products for a bathtime of silliness and splashing? There is a very good possibility!

Win £500 worth of Baby Goodies with Infacol

Having had six children across 3 decades, there is not much that fazes me in terms of parenting any more but as a young first time mum all those years ago, I clearly remember struggling to adapt to having a tiny baby to care for. My first born suffered badly with colic and I felt such a failure when nothing I did seemed to calm her or take away her discomfort.  For this reason, I am very happy to be helping to spread the word about an initiative by Blog Match and Infacol, the UK's leading colic relief treatment, to give one lucky person the chance to win £500 worth of baby goodies and raise awareness of colic in the process.

*****

Infacol’s new social media pages officially launched on 3^rd October 2011 (Facebook / Twitter / Blog / YouTube) and together, are dedicated to creating the ultimate parenting and baby wellbeing social community where you can learn, share tips and advice and get updated on all things relating to the wellbeing of your new addition - with a focus on colic of course.

To celebrate the launch of this new initiative, Infacol are running a sweepstake competition on their Facebook page (www.facebook.com/infacol), the prize being approximately £500 worth of baby related goods.

COMPETITION DETAILS:

It’s simple – Just ‘Like’ the new Facebook page (www.facebook.com/Infacol) then answer 3 colic related questions correctly and follow the instructions to enter the contest - one lucky winner will be picked to win the prize on 2/11/11.

Competition Start Date: 3/10/11

Competition Finish Date: 1/11/11

The Prize: The goody bag contains an exciting range of premium brand unisex baby related goods, ideal for a newborn. The actual contents of the goody bag remain secret but the total value is equivalent to £500 of goods (RRP). 

Why Choose Infacol?

·       Relieves infant colic and griping pain and assists in bringing up babies’ wind

·       It is suitable to use from birth onwards (unlike gripe waters, which can only be given to babies over a month old)

·       Infacol has an integrated dropper so there’s no need to struggle with a spoon

·       It is sugar, alcohol and colourant free, as well as value for money, as it contains up to 100 doses (RRP  £4.20 for 50ml dropper).
